Introduction

Almost every TextMachine 3D parameter can be controlled via MIDI. 
The built in MIDI learn mode allows easy configuration.

The "MIDI Control" window allows to configure TextMachine 3D control by up to 3 MIDI Devices simultaneously

How to Setup MIDI

  • Ensure that your MIDI controller is plugged to your PC and powered before starting TextMachine 3D.

  • Open the "MIDI Control" window by clicking the "MIDI" button in the main user interface.

  • Select your MIDI device from the MIDI #1 - #3 drop down lists

  • Click "Enable MIDI" and move a slider, rotate a knob or push a button or a key on your MIDI device.
