TURNING OFF THE MINIMAD
Depending on the chosen export settings, you can safely disconnect the MiniMad from power, or be
required to shutting it down properly to avoid data-corruption on the SD-card.
Basically, data-corruptions happens when cutting the power of the MiniMad while it’s writing on the SD-
card, which can happen:
- when changing media, when the “start last played media” export setting is checked
- when changing master luminosity
- when changing audio volume
- when changing playback mode
- when editing using the mapping or image control modes in MiniMad Video
By consequence, we strongly advice against turning o the MiniMad by cutting the power if you use any
of the following features.
Instead, you should perform a proper shutdown using either the MiniMad buttons, a USB keyboard,
MiniMad Controller or using OSC.
Please refer to the CONTROLS sections of the selected application for more details.
