Next version of manual re: MIDI Mapping

Post by synapse_gh »

Hi guys,

I just spent half an hour trying to figure out how to get my MIDI controller to trigger an individual clip in Piano Mode, when the options for trigger mode were not appearing in the MIDI Map panel.

Eventually I discovered that the trigger mode options only appear when mapping a numerical value (rather than a single-value trigger such as selecting a clip or a column).

The manual doesn't explain this very clearly - specifically, it doesn't explain that trigger mode only applies to certain variables, or that while it can't be done in MIDI, it can be achieved by setting the individual clip's Trigger Style.

Wondering if you could add a few words on this in the next update? I've got it all working as needed now, just took a frustrating half hour is all.

Thanks!

Joris

Good point. It is briefly mentioned two paragraphs earlier piano mode is only available on numerical parameters, but it is indeed a bit cryptic.

I've added a tip with a link back to the Clip > Trigger Style section: https://resolume.com/manual/en/r4/controlling?&#mapping
