In this tutorial you will learn how to use the DP Meter Pro plugin (DPMP)'s real time capabilities in Steinberg Cubase: use it to let any instrument influence the parameters on any effect for any other instrument in a 'live' context. This tutorial shows these capabilities with Blue Cat's free audio effect.
Step By Step
01 - Insert the DPMP on the source track:
02 - Select the DPMP preset settings in the main menu (right click on the background):

05 - Select the chorus presets settings in the main menu:
06 - Enable the chorus MIDI input for chosen parameters, and set the Channel to Omni (0) and the MIDI CC to the same value as for the DPMP output:

07 - Insert a MIDI track:
08 - Setup the MIDI track input to Peak Meter, output to the Stereo Chorus VST and select 'all' channels:
09 - Setup MIDI track monitor on:
10 - Enable input echo on both tracks and play - the source track triggers the target track chorus parameters in real time:
11 - Hide the RMS curves on the DPMP to monitor only the peaks:
12 - Tweak the Amount and offset parameters of the DPMP:
13 - Tweak the Chorus MIDI response curve parameters (Min,Max,Response):
