Hi folks

some time ago I made a micro-tutorial about driving a brass with [UJAM Dandy bass](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/ujam-dandy-bass-driving-soundpaints/17816)

I tried the same trick with Bitwig and I found it didn’t work 😲  
I googled, and I found that many UJAM plugins don’t have the Direct MIDI-out feature, and yet I used it in Ableton Live: strange 🤔

well, some days ago I downloaded [DODO 2](https://dodobirdmusic.com/dodo-midi/) that is a rela-time audio-to-MIDI tool, so I tested it, and it worked, even if not perfectly

I drop this micro-tutorial anyway, because somebody may find it useful in other situations

Below is the routing: the bass is in a track and DODO 2 follows it  
You can drive the bass with Scaler, your keyboard, etc.  
The output doesn’t matter, so you can even select No output instead of Master

and now put the instrument to drive (in this case I used an AAS Player brass  
) in another track and set UJAM Mellow bass as the input

Not all UJAM bass articulations were sent, so I think the trick can be more useful for a synth than a brass, but I hope that somebody else find a better way to use DODO 2 in this scenario
