Midi Options & Setup
There are a vast amount of available midi controls in VIDIFOLD. You can build your own midi mapping via the edit options. There are extensive midi input mapping options and and reasonable set of midi output mapping options.
The detected midi devices can be found in the 'Externals' tab, under Midi section.
The gold item is a custom full integration device, in this case, VIDIFOLD and a APC40mk2 which have fully synchronised interfaces.
You can toggle each device enabled state with the 'On' button and configure them by clicking on the '?' button. This will then display the Midi Mapping window.
The bottom half of the dialog has basic management of midi configuration setups and lists the currently selected configuration details.
The management buttons are self explaining. Tip: When you start a new setup, make sure you have enabled the device in the previous mentioned midi section.
After clicking "New" and setting a name, you can then assign midi commands to any of the available actions shown in the top part of the dialog.
To aid assignments, the midi actions have been set out in a hierarchy.
For instance here's an example of how to assign a midi keyboard note to Slot 1 in Bus A using midi learn.
The list of available actions is changing/expanding as development continues.
There is a default, non-editable and updated as development requires, mapping which can reviewed via this window.
APC40 MRK2
VIDIFOLD has the ability to closely integrate with the APC40 Mk2, happens to be a midi controller I have access to. All controls have live visual feedback, changes made in the software and on the APC40 are reflected in each other. The mapping described below is for VIDIFOLD v0.38.0 and above.
