2. Move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the button,
move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
3. The blue square will disappear. Now Tattoo’s control will move when you manipulate the MIDI
controller.
Tattoo waits until it has received two consecutive continuous controller messages with the same controller
number before it makes an assignment. This filters out extraneous data sent by some MIDI controllers. If you
are assigning a button or switch on a MIDI controller, you may have to press or move the switch twice before
Tattoo recognizes the controller and assigns it to the desired parameter.
To assign a different MIDI controller to a control, repeat the same procedure.
To cancel MIDI Learn mode without assigning a controller, hold down the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys (
SHIFT
and
COMMAND
keys on a Mac) and click in any empty area in Tattoo’s window (i.e., don’t click on
another control).
To remove a MIDI controller assignment from a control,
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys, (
SHIFT
and
COMMAND
keys
on a Mac) click on the control once so that the orange box appears, then click again on the same
control.
Tattoo’s MIDI controller assignments apply to all presets and instances of Tattoo, in all host applications that
you use. The MIDI assignments are stored in a special file on your hard drive. The contents of this file are
read when Tattoo is loaded by your host. If you have two or more instances of Tattoo in use at once, any MIDI
assignments you make will not be propagated to the other instances until the next time that your host loads
the plug-ins.
The Audio Unit version of Tattoo does not provide the same MIDI assignment features as the VST version.
Almost all Audio Unit hosts provide their own mechanism for assigning MIDI controllers to parameters, so it
would be redundant to implement MIDI controller assignments in the plug-in itself. Consult the documentation
for your Audio Unit host to learn how to use its MIDI features.
MIDI Notes, In and Out
Tattoo responds to incoming MIDI note messages and hence can be used as a software synthesizer plug-in.
Tattoo’s instruments are assigned to fixed MIDI note numbers, following the usual mapping convention. The
assignments are as follows:
