Setting MIDI links
Every control that you see in the Player can be manipulated by an external MIDI controller . In
most cases, this is, of course, much more convenient than using the mouse, especially if you want
to move many controllers at once. For example, you can map the motion of a knob from a knob
box to that of the modulation wheel from a keyboard or link a switch to a sustain pedal. As you
use the specified MIDI controllers, you will see the controls move on the Player area just as if you
had used the mouse. MIDI links are set in the Player but can be edited in the Player or the Builder.
To assign a MIDI link to a controller:
• In the Player, right-click (Control-click on Mac) on a control (knob, button, or slider), a
contextual menu appears. Select Learn MIDILink.
• Move a knob or slider on your MIDI controller (this can be a keyboard, a knob box or any
Device that sends MIDI). This will link the control of the Tassman to the MIDI controller
you just move.
• To edit the MIDI link, right-click/Control-click again on the control and choose Edit MIDILinks.
This opens the Edit window for the MIDI links.
• Click on the MIDI link you wish to modify and then on the Edit or Delete button to modify
or delete the MIDI link. You can also click on New to create a new MIDI link.
