Reaktor Talkbox - some questions

Hello,

As relatively inexperienced as I am with Reaktor, I am endeavoring to build some sort of talkbox-like effect. Even just an ugly prototype would be a great start to something more refined as my proficiency increases with the program.

Here's what I'm working on, and running into trouble with: I want to control a pitch shift macro's shift values with MIDI pitch information. I'm running live audio into the PS macro (of course), and it works as expected by using the knobs for shifting but I cannot achieve my pitch-to-control/event signal flow...

I recently finished both manuals so forgive me if I'm still processing some information that may have answered this question already..

Thanks!
