6. MIDI Hub

19

6.1 Windows Setup

i

You’ll need to install a 3rd-party ‘MIDI loopback port’ application to use

the Hub. We recommend MIDI Yoke, which can be downloaded from

http://www.midiox.com

In your MIDI software (for example, Ableton Live), instead of selecting the controller’s in/out ports

in the MIDI preferences, select a MIDI loopback port, such as MIDI Yoke 1 (for input) and MIDI Yoke

2 (for output). In the editor’s MIDI Hub, select the same ports to pass this data onto the controller.

Once properly configured, you’ll be able to use your controller as normal, and use the editor to re-

program the controller with Presets or direct interaction.

6.2 Mac OS Setup

i

You’ll need to turn on the IAC Driver (Mac OS’s built-in MIDI loopback port)

in Audio MIDI Setup to use the Hub. Information about the IAC Driver can be

found at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5172

In your MIDI software (for example, Ableton Live), instead of selecting the controller’s inputs and

outputs ports in the MIDI preferences, select the IAC Driver ports. In the editor’s MIDI Hub, select

the same ports to pass this data onto the controller. Once properly configured, you’ll be able to

use your controller as normal, and use the editor to reprogram the controller with Presets or direct

interaction.

6.2 MIDI Learn

In order to switch presets with MIDI Hub, you first need to assign two buttons on the TWEAKER as

‘next’ and ‘previous’ preset selectors. To assign a TWEAKER button, simply press the learn button in

the MIDI Hub window, then press the desired button on the TWEAKER to assign it. Repeat for the

other button.
