  • Page 3 To understand the basics of Hot Hand motion control, it’s helpful to know how to move or position the Ring to get the most reliable signal output. The following photos illustrate the direction of motion and hand positions for each sensor axis of the Hot Hand Ring: Motion map: X motion Y motion...
  • Page 4 Controlling continued… The motion data from the Ring is sent to the Receiver where it is processed and converted into MIDI signals. MIDI is a very common means of sending control information from audio hardware to audio software or vice versa. MIDI is even used for a number of non-music purposes since it is very simple to use and implement.
  • Page 5 When you first start the software editor it will connect automatically to the USB Receiver and load a 3-axis basic preset that matches the default configuration which was preloaded on the USB Receiver. You can use the application to edit, save, load, and burn presets to the USB Receiver.
  • Page 6 The MIDI modules take the output from the Solo Output processor modules and converts it into a Output ON/OFF MIDI message. The MIDI modules can also be used to edit MIDI parameters, limit values or set up trigger events based on the input signal.

  • Page 7: Additional Software Features

    Software Additional Features Toolbar Controls: Reload – refreshes the current settings from the Editor to the USB Receiver. This function will NOT burn settings to the flash memory. Monitor ON/OFF – Enables or disables the monitor graph for each module. The graphical updates require a small amount of CPU cycles so you might want to turn them off in some cases.
  • Page 8 Advanced Features - MIDI Control In addition to creating MIDI output, the Hot Hand USB Receiver can also receive MIDI messages from the computer. These incoming MIDI messages can be used to automate settings for a performance by enabling or disabling any of the 10 MIDI output modules or by recalling an entirely different preset from the onboard flash memory.
