MIDI

MixEmergency supports MIDI control of almost all controls available on screen (such as the faders, transition select menu and loading media from the media bank). You can easily use a MIDI capable mixer to control MixEmergency.

To assign a MIDI control to an on-screen control:

1. Make sure that your MIDI device is connected
2. Option-click the on-screen control
3. Move or toggle the MIDI control

To clear an assigned MIDI control:

1. Option-click the on-screen control
2. Click the clear button at the top-left of the control window that appears

Note that some controls require MIDI sliders/knobs (such as the Crossfader), whereas others require a MIDI trigger (such as the play and eject controls).

MIDI Window

The MIDI Window displays information about the current MIDI sources and the data received from these sources. This window can be shown/hidden from the Window menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut 8.

This window can be used to verify that your MIDI device is communicating correctly with MixEmergency. When the Log MIDI Messages check-box is enabled, MIDI data received by MixEmergency will be logged in the lower text view.

It is recommended that you use the MIDI logging function only if you encounter problems assigning MIDI controls within MixEmergency. During live performance we recommend that MIDI logging is disabled.
