• The MIDI controller number specified in the Controller textbox is set by default to a value
of 1. This is the MIDI controller number corresponding to the modulation wheel. If you
want to assign a new controller to the knob, specify the number here.
• You can also assign a different MIDI channel to the controller in the Channel textbox. By
default this value will be set to channel 1.
• There are two other parameters one can adjust: the Minimum Value and Maximum Value
of the controller, which are used to limit the range of MIDI controllers. The Minimum Value
field determines the position on the Tassman controller to which corresponds the minimum
value sent by the MIDI controller; the Maximum Value determines the position to which
corresponds the maximum value sent by the MIDI controller. A value of 0 corresponds to
the Tassman Player controller minimum position (left position for a knob) and a value of 1
to the Tassman controller maximum position (right position for a knob). Note that the range
of knob can be inverted by setting the value of Maximum Value to a smaller value than that
of Minimum Value. This can be useful, for example, if you want to control the cutoff and
the resonance of a filter with the same knob but you want the resonance to increase as the
cutoff decreases.
• Click OK and the link appears in the list of controllers linked to the control.
• Click OK again to confirm the change and to leave the MIDI links window.
• Note that the Minimum Value and Maximum Value of a MIDI link can also be set by
right/control clicking on the corresponding control and selecting the Set MidiLink Mini-
mum Value or Set MidiLink Maximum Value command. The value corresponding to the
control position will then be saved as the minimum or maximum value of the MIDI link.
• To remove a MIDI link, right-click/Control-click again on the control and choose Forget
MIDILinks.
Creating a MIDI map
MIDI links for a given instruments can be saved into a MIDI map by using the Saved MIDI Links
As from the File menu. Different MIDI maps corresponding to different MIDI controllers can
be saved for the same instruments. A MIDI map can be loaded by double clicking on the MIDI
connector icon under an instrument in the browser. Furthermore a MIDI map can be loaded by
automatically when an instrument is launched.
• To assign a default MIDI map to an instrument, right-click/Ctrl-click on the MIDI map
icon and choose the MIDI Link Info command, in the Edit Information Window, click on
Mark As Default.

MIDI program changes can be used to switch between performances while playing (more on per-
