Audio Damage BigSeq2 Upgrade From BigSeq1 - Manual (Page 23)

MIDI Controllers
The VST version of BigSeq2 responds to MIDI continuous controller messages. You can use hardware MIDI
controllers, such as MIDI slider boxes or the knobs found on some MIDI keyboards, to adjust BigSeq2’s
parameters. You can assign MIDI controllers to the knobs, sliders, and switches in BigSeq2’s Effect panels,
and to some of the controls in the sequencer panels. You cannot assign MIDI controllers to the Modulation
Sequencer sliders or the Gate Sequencer switches, or to the step locks.
BigSeq2 has a simple “MIDI Learn” mode for assigning its controls to MIDI controllers. To assign a control to a
MIDI controller:
 First, hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys on your PC’s keyboard, or SHIFT and CMD keys if you’re
using a Mac, and click once on the control. A white box will be drawn around the control to indicate
that it is ready to learn which MIDI controller it will be assigned to.
 Next, move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the
button, move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
 The white box will disappear. Now the control will move when you manipulate the MIDI controller.
BigSeq2 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
BigSeq2 recognizes the controller and assigns it to the desired control.
To assign a different MIDI controller to a control, repeat the same procedure using a different controller.
To cancel MIDI Learn mode without assigning a controller, hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys (SHIFT and
CMD keys on a Mac) and click in any empty area in BigSeq2’s window (i.e., don’t click on another control).
The white box will disappear.
To remove a MIDI controller assignment from a control, SHIFT and CTRL keys, (SHIFT and CMD keys on a
Mac) click on the control once so that the white box appears, then click again on the same control.
BigSeq2’s MIDI controller assignments apply to all presets and instances of BigSeq2, 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
