Playing my VL1 with the PICO

Eigenlabs default controller settings place the breath controller out to cc17.  One challenge is that cc16 and 17 are used for QED controllers on the VL1.  One (easy) solution is to use MIDIPipe (from Subtlesoft) to both map the MIDI out from EigenD to your VL1 (or whatever you use) and to map the controller. to do this:

1. Start MIDIPipe
2. drag midi in to the pipe and choose the eigenlabs port (this presently requires the latest unstable release of eigenD)
3. drag the message converter to the pipe and set it to map cc17 to cc2 (see screenshot)
4. drag midi out to the pipe and select the output to your synth

Your PIPE will look something like this (I added a slide controller as well):

then have fun
