Control Device
Devices - Use any external controllers such as MIDI or OSC, DMX, and ArtNet
A Control Device enables Smode to send or receive controller commands, such as notes (pitch and note velocity), a button triggered on or off, or a fader movement, etc. Through learning, these external events and values can be linked to any element parameters, allowing for document automation.
To configure a Control Device, go to the Preferences panel panel [F11], in the Engine Preferences tab, select the Control Device section:
Add a new Control Device by clicking the Add button and choose the type of Video Output you want to use in the list. Click Apply changes to access the configuration settings.
You can then check the incoming messages from your device through the
