9.2.2 Creating MIDI Links
Every control on the Strum Electric interface can be manipulated by an external MIDI controller.
In most cases this is much more convenient than using the mouse, especially if you want to move
many controllers at once. For example, you can map the motion of a knob on the interface to a
real knob on a knob box or to the modulation wheel from your keyboard. As you use the specified
MIDI controllers, you will see the controls move on the Strum Electric interface just as if you had
used the mouse.
To assign a MIDI link to a controller:
• On the interface, right-click/Control-click on a control (knob, button), a contextual menu
appears. Select Learn MIDI Link.
• Move a knob or slider on your MIDI controller (this can be a keyboard, a knob box, or
any device that sends MIDI). This will link the control of the Strum Electric to the MIDI
controller you just moved.
MIDI links can also be created by right-clicking/Control-clicking on a control and choosing
the Add MIDI Link command which will open the Add MIDI Link window.
9.2.3 Editing MIDI Links
MIDI links can be edited in the MIDI Links window, which lists all the currently available MIDI
links.
• To edit the MIDI link, right-click/Control-click again on the control and choose Edit MIDI
Link to open the MIDI links window. You can also use the Edit MIDI Link command from
the MIDI menu.
• Click on the MIDI link you wish to modify and then on the Edit button to launch the EDIT
MIDI Link window.
• Specify the MIDI controller number and MIDI channel of the physical controller you wish
to link to the parameter in the corresponding drop-down menus.
• You can also adjust the Minimum Value and Maximum Value of the controller, which
are used to limit the range of MIDI controllers. The Minimum Value slider is used to
determine the position on the Strum Electric control which corresponds to the minimum
value sent by the MIDI controller; the Maximum Value slider determines the position which
corresponds to the maximum value sent by the MIDI controller. The leftmost position of the
slider corresponds to the Strum Electric control minimum position (left position for a knob)
while the rightmost position of the slider corresponds to the Strum Electric control maximum
position (right position for a knob).
