Give every device
a clear identity.
Devices hold the details your MIDI messages need: channel, controls, colors, and saved presets.
Add and configure a device.
- Open the Devices tab and tap +.
- Select the available brand and device, or use the custom-device option for gear you define yourself.
- Set the MIDI channel to match the receiving hardware.
- Choose background and text colors that you can recognize quickly.
- Tap Save to commit the configuration.
A custom device lets you enter its name and brand. Device definitions can provide existing control information; you can also define controls in the device editor.
Create reusable presets.
Open a device’s Presets and add a preset. Give it a useful name, then add the MIDI messages required for that sound or state. The MIDI editor exposes the message type and the relevant control, program, bank, value, or parameter fields.
Keep preset names musical: “Clean”, “Wide delay”, or “Solo” is easier to scan during rehearsal than a hardware-specific number. Confirm the numbers and channel against your receiving device’s documentation.
Define controls for your gear.
The Controls area names MIDI CC controls for the device. A control combines a recognizable name with its control number. These definitions make preset editing and ramp selection easier to understand.
Use your hardware’s MIDI implementation chart to find the correct CC and value range. Different devices can assign completely different meanings to the same CC number.
Save before leaving.
Color selections and other edits in Edit Device are not committed until you save. Leaving a dirty editor through Back or swipe-back prompts you to Save, Leave, or Cancel. Save commits the changes; Leave discards them; Cancel keeps editing.
Patch dots use the device’s saved background color. Change the color in Devices, then tap Save. A dark gray device can produce a dot that blends into the platter.
