Editing MIDIMaps using Learn Mode
Learn Mode provides a quick and easy method for buidling a MIDI Map by simply wiggling
physical controls on a MIDI Device and then pressing/moving a Hog 4 feature such as a front
panel key, encoder, or fader.
To activate Learn Mode in the MIDI Map Editor simply enable the Learn button at the top of
the window.
When Learn Mode is activated all front panel events are captured into the Hog Function field
for the currently selected row. Please note that fader movements still affect output when
Learn Mode is activated. To help you to identify that this is occuring the command line
background will turn grey and flash “!!! MIDI Map Learn mode Enabled !!!” in red text while
Learn mode is turned on.
In practice here is how Learn mode works:
1. Operator sends a MIDI message to console which automatically selects or creates a
MIDI entry in the table.
2. Operator presses a Hog front panel key (wiggles a Hog Encoder or moves a Hog Fader
).
3. The MIDI mapping table assign the Hog action to the selected table row.
Here are some other important things to know about Learn mode:
•
Hog 4 front panel key presses assign the Hog Function of the current row to the Hog 4
front panel Key. Multiple front panel key presses replace the action with the current Hog
4 key.
•
Even without a MIDI device present, operators can manually select a row or create a
new one, then press a Hog 4 front panel key to associate it with the new entry.
•
Users can exit Learn mode without a touch screen by using a mouse / trackball
