Mappings act like a playbook that Lumen can follow. Actions are anything in Lumen that can be remote-controlled - for example, “Set the Frequency of Oscillator A” or “Save a Snapshot to Slot 1”. A Mapping forms a link between a specific MIDI message and a specific Action. In Lumen, Mappings define how MIDI messages will be interpreted. Ultimately, it’s up to the destination to determine how to react to messages. One of the things that makes MIDI so flexible, though, is that these messages don’t say exactly what to do - they just give a general idea. We know that MIDI sources tell destinations what to do by sending messages to them. To control Lumen with more than one source at a time, just select them all and their messages will be processed together. Lumen will only respond to messages from the sources that you select. You can also get there using the Command+M keyboard shortcut.Īt the top of the RC Popup, you’ll see the MIDI Source Picker, where you can select sources to use with Lumen: Picking MIDI SourcesĪll Remote Control settings in Lumen are found in the RC Popup, which you can show by clicking the RC Button: Now that you know Lumen’s place in the MIDI universe, let’s dive into how to make a MIDI Remote Control setup for it. Lumen does not support bi-directional control right now. Tech Note Some controllers support Bi-Directional Control, which can do things like light up LEDs on a MIDI controller to show the value of a virtual instrument’s parameters. Put another way, you can use some other thing to remote-control Lumen, but you can’t use Lumen to remote-control something else. It can respond to incoming MIDI messages, but can’t send out any of its own. It’s important to know that Lumen acts only as a MIDI Destination. …and don’t forget Lumen! MIDI RC in Lumen ![]() MIDI has evolved to be used for many different things, including audio synths, drum machines, VJ apps, lighting controllers, and even old game consoles. Similarly, so many things can receive MIDI messages, but don’t expect them to all be audio-related.
