Assigning a MIDI device to KueIt

Open full view...

Categories: Preferences/Settings

Make sure your MIDI device is connected to your computer, and then launch KueIt. Go to Preferences, click the MIDI tab and select the desired MIDI device from the drop-down menu. At this point, you can choose whether you want pressure sensitivity; if pressure sensitivity is enabled, then the keys’ volumes will be determined by how hard you hit the MIDI pad (the harder the hit, the louder the key will play). You can also select a title for your MIDI preset. KueIt allows you to save as many different presets as you want, for each MIDI device that you use with KueIt. If you choose not to save a preset name, KueIt will save your preset as ''default''. Note: When using KueIt with MIDI, make sure the program is never minimized. In some systems, minimizing a program can put it to sleep, which can cause the MIDI in KueIt to go to sleep as well.

Once your MIDI device has been assigned, you can begin to assign individual trigger keys and volumes, and you can also assign the Stop All key as well as others! To assign MIDI, click the MIDI button on the main screen of KueIt (located above the master volume knob). Scroll over the key or item you want to assign MIDI to, and a pop-up window will appear over the key. This pop-up window will give you the option of assigning a trigger, volume, or both to each individual key.

To assign a trigger, click on the Trigger Key icon in the pop-up window. Flashing red text will appear, instructing you to press the desired key on your MIDI controller; once you press the key on your controller, your MIDI will be set. To assign a volume, click on the Volume icon in the pop up-window. Again, flashing red text will appear, instructing you to adjust the desired knob or slider on your MIDI controller. Once that adjustment is made on your controller, your MIDI event is set. Repeat this process for each item you want MIDI assigned to, and when you're finished, click the MIDI button on the main screen to save your change (a pop-up window will prompt you to Save, Save As or Cancel; selecting Save will store all your settings).

On startup, Kueit will always open to the most recently selected MIDI device and preset.
