Start/Stop Trigger Setup dialog
Presets Choose the type of MIDI device. If you choose Media Control Station
2, you can use its buttons to Stop, Play, and Record. (The Media Control Station
is a MIDI device containing standard VCR-style playback buttons along with
a jog wheel.) By choosing Custom, you enable the remaining spinners in the
dialog, where you can set specific channels and note numbers. You can also
use Custom to customize the controls used by the Media Control Station.
Channel Specifies the channel to which your MIDI device is assigned.
Note Number The Stop, Play, and Record spinners that follow this label let
you specify which note event triggers which function.
■ Stop This note event stops the playback or the recording. On the Media
Control Station, this would be the square button. This is the equivalent
of clicking the Stop button under the Record Controls group.
■ Play Plays the animation. This is the arrow button on the Media Control
Station.
■ Record When this note is sent by itself, it's the equivalent of clicking the
Test button under Record Controls. To record the motion capture, you
must press both Play and Record at the same time (the equivalent of
clicking the Start button under Record Controls). You can press the Play
button before or after the Record button and release the Play button before
or after the Record button. The recording starts when the button is released.
