Well, I've tried the suggested solutions yesterday night - with, as well as without dedicated control input - as I had already set the theme to Plastique. With the dedicated input enabled I connected my controller to both the Master In and the Control In in Qjackctl. The learn dialog from the instrument properties responded to the controller just fine, but the sliders stay in the same position even after sweeping the pots on my controller through their entire range.
Next, I tried loading a dssi plugin, WhySynth. This worked as expected, i.e. instrument properties > RMB on slider > turn controller pot > OK. Turn pot - slider updates. Cool! However, when run as a plugin I just cannot get the Calf Monosynth to respond to external CC messages while notes, pitch bend and modulation get through just fine. Colour me puzzled... Is this some LV2 issue? Even then, I'd have expected to be able to control the sliders inside the properties panel. I guess I'll just have to run Monosynth externally from the Calf plugin host.
Is there any way I don't have to use two tracks for this synth (midi track + audio track for routing the audio output of the synth into) or will this be unavoidable?
