• Easy to choose desired output scaling
• Optional data smoothing
• Store presets to xml-files

Demonstration

Initial setup

• Set the HI device (input) and MIDI device (output) even if it's already correct, sometimes it needs to be confirmed.
• Before you assign OSC or midi to your controls, first move all the buttons and knobs, because the controls will change places on the list.
• Set the CC #, channel, etc. by clicking on it and dragging it up and down.
• If the midi values only range from 0 to 1, set the midi range for each input used to the full range, 0-127 (the default midi scaling seems to be broken).
• You can mute a control by unchecking its OSC box or midi box.
• If you have problems with midi, try leaving OSC on even if you aren't using it.
• Store your changes to a preset, or else they will be lost.
• Save file to any directory.

General use

• Launch MultiControl and open your file.
• Load your preset, just selecting it isn't enough.
• Click all the buttons and move all the knob/sticks several times. Use the full range of the knobs/sticks, so that MultiControl can automatically calibrate them.
• Launch the app that uses the OSC or midi, and fire away!

To update the settings

• Make your changes.
• Store the preset or else the changes will be lost.
• Save the file.
