Overview

In this course you will learn how to map a midi control surface to many elements within BEYOND.

First, we will discuss the protocol of Midi and how to figure out how your midi control surface will communicate to BEYOND. Then use that communication to use the pre-made tools inside the BEYOND midi mapping tools based on a plan we will make for the control surface.

Then we will do a lot with custom tools and PangoScript to create multiple custom tools and program multiple layers on your midi control surface to achieve more and more tools all on a single device. Custom tools including, Color picker, Zone flips, Selections, custom slider values and more!

Then there is a bonus discussion the BEYOND Performer Console showing some more details for that device and how to make customizations to the map if you have that console.
