MIDI-MT Documentation in English
Allows you to use standard “Joysticks” and “Gamepads” in two modes, as an input keyboard or as a remote control. The module translates commands from a gamepad or joystick into the MIDI protocol. In “input device” mode, direction controls are used as sliders, and buttons are used for their intended purpose.
The “Available devices” list shows currently connected devices.
Selecting “Change step” sets the adjustment
scale, available values from 1 to 42. The
maximum scale value 127.
Selecting “Device polling period” specifies the amount of time in milliseconds between polling connected devices. The default value is 50 milliseconds.
The “Input mode”/“Control mode” switch sets the executable functions of the devices. In input mode, the devices work as an external MIDI keyboard, in control mode - as a remote control for the “Audio Mixer”, “Smart Home” and “Light Control” groups.
The “Scene” field allows you to specify the MIDI
scene number in case of conflict with other connected MIDI devices. The
default value 101.
The option “Use directions as buttons” works in input device mode and allows you to use each directional (plane) control as 4 independent buttons.
The “Horizontal Directions in JOG Mode” option
forces the horizontal direction to be used in not end mode.
Convenient to use in Adobe Prmiere Pro to move along the
timeline.
Selecting “Control Mode Settings” allows you to limit the controlled groups to one or more from the list of “Audio Mixer”, “Smart Home” and “Light Control” groups.
Using the Gamepad or Joystick you can control all the
‘Slider’, ‘Fader’ or
‘Jog’ controls configured in the MIDI-MT
configuration. In control mode, adjustment is possible in the
“Audio Mixer”, “Smart Home” and
“Light Control” groups; all connected devices duplicate
each other’s functions.
With horizontal directions you select control, and with vertical
directions you adjust the level. Changing adjustable groups is done
using buttons 1 and 2 on the device. Button
3 is responsible for enabling/disabling the selected
control. Button 4 sets the average level for the selected
control, or returns its previous value. All buttons except
1 and 2 have trigger behavior. Buttons
1 and 2 operate in the “scrolling” mode. In
control mode, all connected devices duplicate each other.
1, 2: scrolling through groups, in
accordance with the selection of “Control mode settings”.horizontal direction: scrolling through controls in a
group (right/left).vertical direction: increase or decrease values
(up/down), according to the “Change step” selection3: temporarily set the value to 0,
without making changes to the database.4: temporarily setting the value to
50%, without making changes to the database.3, 4, pressing again restores
the original value.Due to operating system limitations, only two devices can be used
simultaneously. At the same time, the system supports physical
connection of up to 16 devices.
You can configure the payload of controllers in “Input Mode” in the editor. To determine the device control numbers, use the “Read MIDI code” button. Each of the connected controllers has unique control numbers. There are no restrictions on linking functions to device controls.
It is also possible to edit the configuration file in any editor you are familiar with. The main section of the settings for the interaction module with “Joysticks” and “Gamepads” looks like this:
