Layer Opacity via MIDI-Cntrlr

Hey guys,

I did a quick search on the forum as well as the internet, of course and probably not the whole thing, but I got a question and need your expertise:
I'm able to set the layer, clip and composition opacity to "external audio", right? (under transform) - If I'd like to switch between "external audio on" and "please just keep it at 100%" I'd, if it was an effect, just map a key of the midi controller to the "bypass button" or smth. - The transform thingy is missing such a feature (and of course the bypass means "completely off", instead setting it to a specific parameter).

Is there any way to switch between audio reactive opacity and "100%" opacity with just a tip of a button? I'm sorry if it's not quite clear what I mean, really little sleep. ;)


Thanks a lot in advance


PS: If I'm just missing a effect that could do this feel free to slap me with what ever you want.

Yeah, that behaviour could be improved / made more intuitive. We'll have some options for it on Res 5.

For now, you can use an Iterate effect, with Iterations set to 0.02 and StartOpacity set to FFT.

I would like to slap you with a salmon, if that's okay with you ;)

I'd prefer a trout like on the good old days on the IRC-Chat. - I'll try out your suggestion and I'm looking forward to Res5 - guess Bonne is already busy testing the sh#t out of it! =)
