User Manual

Time Offset
Time Offset adjusts the sync between the MIDI file’s timing and Fusion’s timing. If there is an
unexpected delay, or if the MIDI file should start partway into or before some animation in
Fusion, this control can be used to offset the MIDI data as required.
Result Offset, Result Scale
These sliders adjust the range of values produced by the modifier. By default, values between
0 and 1 (or -1 and 1 for PitchBend mode) are generated. This does not always suit the node/
parameter, and scale can be used to make this range larger (such as * 0.0 - 2.0). Offset is used
to provide some constant value as a base.
Result Curve
The Result Curve can also be used to adjust the output. However, this adjusts the curve of the
result. By default, for any input MIDI data, the results fall linearly between 0.1 and 1.0 (for
example, a velocity 127 note generates 1.0, whereas 63 generates approximately 0.5).
The Result Curve applies a gamma-like curve so that middle values can produce higher or
lower results while still maintaining the full scale.
Mode
This menu provides Beat, Note, Control Change, Poly AfterTouch, Channel AfterTouch, or Pitch
Bend, indicating from which MIDI event the values are being read. Beat mode is slightly
different in that it produces regular pulses based on the tempo of the MIDI file (including any
tempo maps).
The Beat mode does not use any specific messages; it bases its event timing on the tempo
map contained in the MIDI file.
Combine Events
This menu selects what happens when multiple events occur at the same time. In Notes mode,
this can happen easily. For other events, this can happen if Multiple Channels are selected.
Use this to take the result from the most recent event to occur, the oldest event still happening,
the highest or lowest valued event, the average, sum, or the median of all events currently
occurring.
Beat (Quarters) (Beat Mode Only)
This defines how often a beat occurs when in Beat mode. This is in quarter notes, so a value of
1.0 gives a beat every quarter.
Note Range (Note and Poly Aftertouch Modes Only)
This defines what range of notes causes a value to be generated. For example, use this to pick
out the kick drum from a GM drum track by setting the note range between 35–36.
Pitch Scale (Note Mode Only)
Pitch Scale defines how much the result changes with pitch. A value of 1.0 causes the result to
vary from 0.0 to 1.0 over the entire range.
Velocity Scale (Note Mode Only)
This defines how much the result changes with velocity. A value of 1.0 causes the result to vary
from 0.0 to 1.0 over the entire range. This is added to the result from Pitch Scale for the
final result.
Control Number (Control Change Mode Only)
This specifies the MIDI controller number from which to extract events.
