TriCaster’s Macro system can ‘listen’ for button presses (only;

at present, sliders, etc. are not supported) from most MIDI

devices just as it recognizes input from other control surfaces

or the keyboard.

For TriCaster purposes, many MIDI devices will provide ‘plug-

and-play’ convenience. Some (including the example

mentioned in the box at right above) do require the

installation of third party device drivers.

Generally, adding device drivers to TriCaster is discouraged,

since these may not have been prepared with the rigorous

demands of live production in mind.

As we cannot guarantee suitability of third-party MIDI drivers

for TriCaster use, it’s good to know that a TriCaster Restore

operation will restore normal operation if a driver you install

has unintended consequences.

MIDI can be useful in many, many ways. Too, a wide variety of

MIDI software and extensions are available for other devices. These can

be used to create unique custom TriCaster control alternatives.

For example, the mockups below depict custom iPad

interfaces (created using third-

party iOS

apps) providing wireless control over TriCaster’s Publish features (Figure 323) and DDRs (Figure

324).

MIDI Configuration Add-On:

The Add-On group in TriCaster’s Session

page (Startup) includes a link named

Ableton Novation Launchpad. This link

opens a simple configuration

application that allows you to alter the

colors used to illuminate buttons on this

popular MIDI device.

Simply choose a specific device from the

menu at upper left, choose a Fill Color,

and click a button on the screen with the

fill bucket mouse pointer.

(Alternatively, each button has a right-

click menu you can use to select the

color for that button.)
