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. Most Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software, soft synths, or virtual
instruments will allow users to assign MIDI controls to a variety of parameters. Some examples of
popular software packges are Ableton Live, Native Instruments Traktor, Propellorheads Reason,
Apple Logic and Mainstage.
By default and out of the box, the Hot Hand USB will output three different MIDI messages using the
three-axis data from the Ring. These are:
X-axis - MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) 7
Y-axis - MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) 8
Z-axis - MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) 9
Continuous Controller (CC) messages are commonly used to control knob based parameters in audio
software and hardware. Other MIDI message types are used for Note ON/OFF, Pitch Bend, and
Aftertouch. Its important to note that the response of the Ring, MIDI Message types, controller
numbers, and channels can all be easily changed using the Hot Hand USB Editor software.
Customizing with the Editor
Application
Once you have a basic
understanding of Hot Hand,
you’ll likely need to tweak the
signals and MIDI messages to
suit your needs. This can be
done with the Hot Hand USB
Editor, a software tool that
can be downloaded from the
Hot Hand USB product page.
The application is available
for both Windows and Mac.
Simply download and run the
installer packages to install
the software on your
computer.
