Map a MIDI knob to S9 Sampler with MIDI Learn
Open MIDI Learn, choose the control and channel, click Learn CC and move the knob, fader or button on your controller. Then move it again to check that it works. Mappings save with your sampler sound.
Use it to play S9 Sampler’s controls by hand. Your DAW can catch some CC messages before they reach the plug-in, so start by checking that notes arrive.
For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta).
Step by step
Route your controller
Set your controller as the instrument track’s MIDI input and check that notes reach S9 Sampler.
Pick control and channel
Open MIDI Learn and choose the control. Pick a channel or Any Channel. Use Absolute for a normal knob or fader, or the relative format your endless encoder uses.
Learn the CC
Click Learn CC and move only that one control. A CC that is already mapped on that channel isn’t silently replaced.
Test it
Move the control again and watch the target move. The mapping stays when you close the window.
Good to know
Buttons have two modes
Momentary follows press and release. Toggle switches once per press. If your hardware button already toggles, use Momentary.
What it accepts
MIDI Learn takes 7-bit CC 0–119. It doesn’t do NRPN, 14-bit CC or motor-fader and LED feedback.
