    MIDI is a parameter behavior. You assign the MIDI behavior to a parameter by right-clicking ont he parameter name and selcting MIDI.

    It will go into learning mode and watch what key you press (and how hard if it is a velocity-sensitive controller) or controller you adjust. It will then switch modes to respond to changes. You have to activite the auto-record button to record your changes.

    All explained in my INSIDE MOTION 2 dvd from Magnet Media (www.digitalmediatraining.com).

    “their is no documentation in the manual on it and its a real cool feature.”

    You may have missed it. There’s about 3 pages on the MIDI beahavior and how to use it starting around page 357 in the Motion 2 Manual… Hope that helps.

    Im doing a live video production with mainly cool visuals being projected on a screen. Was wondering if Motion 2 would be a good alternative to using a playback deck, is this thing ready for LIVE production? Cant have this thing crash while some band is onstage….that would be unaccepable….anyone tried this yet?

    Any ideas or tips for parameters/effects that work really well with the MIDI timing concept?

    Thanks

    Also, is it possible to gang different parameters from different plug-in’s / layers etc to one MIDI controller input?
