Controlling VST Wah
Hey I was wondering how different people controlled the wah effect if you are using a VST Wah like Coyote Wah or others like that.
I am trying to use an effect like that in a way that lets me control the wah in real time. Hopefully without having to spring for an expensive expression pedal!

Re: Controlling VST Wah
Depending what keyboard/controller you use, you should be able to set a slider cc to control the wah in the vst by using Midi Learn .
Hope that helps

Re: Controlling VST Wah
Thanks,but unfortunately I can't control the slider in real time when I am playing guitar.I am hoping for an inexpensive real time solution,but if I can't find one, I could certainly use the slider method and add the effect afterwards on my recordings.

Re: Controlling VST Wah
Thanks Gypsy,
The Sweetwater one looks great, and in my price range! I couldn't remember the names of the wah VST's I have, Coyote was the only one that came to mind when I was away from my computer, I was hoping no one would notice

I did kind of an auto-wah using Blue Cat Audio Phaser (free VST Plugin) on my Tears in Heaven rendition (at the solo part). See if this would work for you.

Re: Controlling VST Wah
I'm resurrecting this thread because I can't figure out how to use Coyote Wah. . By itself it doesn't create the wah wah effect. Using the slider it does, but that can't be done while playing. From this thread I have two questions :
1. If I got an expression pedal would that control the slider in coyote? How does that work?
2. Failing that, is there a way to add the effect using the sliders AFTER the guitar is recorded? I can't figure out how that's done.
I have an auto waw from the old effectizer plugin. . But it has a nag screen and I need to donate 15 euros (about $17 today) to get rid of it. . Doesn't seem worth it.

Re: Controlling VST Wah
And of course, you could arm the automation lane and record the automation data from a MIDI controller if you wanted.
