Description

This devices interpolates Midi CCs for extra smooth parameter changes. It was initially made for a live performance where we wanted to change the tempo in a great range and the standard midi resolution of 128 values wasn't sufficient.

This is how it works:

- Put the device on any channel.

- Map the controller of your choice to the Input dial. (preferably a fader or rotary knob - or use it with a range of buttons mapped to one parameter (shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS-e2r5bef0#t=13).

- Set the Ramptime. That is the time lives parameter takes to reach the Input value from the controller).

- Click on "Map" and on any of Lives parameters to control this parameter smoothly.

- Set the minimum & maximum output values for Lives parameter.

- Choose "Linear" or "Curved" mode. Linear mode just interpolates the input values. Curved mode decelerates the parameter movement towards the destination value (sounds complicated but is in fact easy - just try it!)

- By clicking on the red button in the top right corner you can open a floating window showing you the in- and out-values. So you can set the device independently from Lives current view (especially useful when using very long Ramptimes - just quickly set the desired input-value and do something else, while the device does the rest).
