Automation with Midi Controllers

You can assign midi Cc to almost each StiX parameter to control it with an external midi device, or make automation lines in your
Daw. As StiX has more than hundreds of parameters, this automation is 'channelized'
This means that to control the drumpad 1 ( Bass Drum parameters ) you must use the midi channel 1 to make automations. The
Drumpad 2 ( Snare will be controlled by the midi channel 2. Aso.
Example : Let's say you have assigned midi Cc 25 to the the Filter Cut-off. Whatever the drumpad, Midi Cc 25 will ALWAYS control
the cut-off. The drumkit ( BD, Snare, Tom, etc ) affected by the automation will depend on which midi channel the automation is
transmitted to StiX.
To assign a Midi Cc to a StiX parameter : Open the Option menu, then click on 'Open Midi Settings panel'
In the dialog box, choose the parameter you wish to tie to a certain Midi Cc. To assign a controller to this parameter, use the Midi
learn function ( StiX will learn the first message received ), or type directly its number in the dialog box.
Please note that the Midi Controller Map is saved in a specific file, and is automatically updated when you close the dialog box.
