Posted on | July 15, 2009 | No Comments

Setting up Active Controller Technology (ACT) with your software through the ACT MIDI Controller plug-in requires 6 basic steps. This tip will take you through 6 essential steps:

- Enabling the correct MIDI input driver for your controller/surface.

- Enabling the ACT MIDI Controller plug-in in the Controllers/Surfaces dialog.

- Loading the correct preset in the control panel of your hardware controller/surface.

- Opening the ACT MIDI Controller property page, selecting the name of your controller/surface in the Presets window, and enabling the Active Controller Technology Enable button.

- This step is optional if your controller/surface has a preset in the ACT MIDI Controller property page (not optional if your controller/ surface doesn’t have a preset): Mapping knobs and sliders on your controller/surface to cells in the ACT MIDI Controller property page.

- Optional: Mapping the cells in the ACT MIDI Controller property page to various parameters in your effect and synth plug-ins.
