MIDI control of iLive Editor
Editor can be controlled using an external MIDI device. Such a device would connect to the laptop MIDI or USB port. MIDI instructions can be 'learned' or manually entered. The following can be controlled:
Controlling sends
Use MIDI to first select the Aux, FX or Matrix Mix you want to adjust. Then use the Fader Level messages to adjust the sends. Deselect the mix or select a different mix when finished.
To set up MIDI
With the MIDI device connected and working go to the Editor Setup / MIDI Setup menu. From the list of MIDI Input and Output devices listed, select On for those you want to use.
