====== SMC-Mixer Compatibility ======
====== SMC-Mixer Compatibility ======
The M-Vave SMC-Mixer is a cheap popular MIDI mixer controller that can connect via USB or Bluetooth. It has DAW and a user/CC modes that aren't entirely friendly to the way that Loopy Pro works, but it is possible to create a fully-compatible setup using using MIDIFire or similar MIDI routing software.
This has moved to: [[SMC-Mixer]]  
 
'''In DAW mode''', it's faders don't work with Loopy Pro because they send pitchbend which Loopy Pro doesn't yet support for incoming MIDI bindings, its encoders use a different protocol than Loopy Pro supports and feedback doesn't work because the mixer doesn't respond to 8X style note off messages (even though that is the type of of note off that its buttons send). 
 
'''In CC mode''', it does not respond to Loopy Pro's MIDI feedback. The mixer has hard-coded note mappings to turn the LEDs on and off. These are the same as in DAW mode and unrelated to the CC mappings set up for the device.
 
'''USING MIDI FIRE'''
 
MIDIFire can be used to make the SMC-Mixer in DAW mode fully-compatible with Loopy Pro. The SMC-Mixer's pads will make use of MIDI feedback to stay in sync with Loopy Pro's state. MIDIFire is a standalone MIDI routing and filtering app. It can be set up to sit between MIDI devices and Loopy Pro.
 
[[Media:Scene-SMC Mixer Loopy Go-Between.zip|Use this MIDIFire project]] between the SMC and Loopy Pro to make full use of the SMC-Mixer's DAW mode. The MIDIFire project also requires the free streambyter plugin. What the project does is:
 
* translate the DAW mode encoders to the relative MIDI protocol that Loopy uses
* translate the DAW mode faders' pitchbend to MIDI CCs that Loopy can use for bindings
* translate the note off messages that Loopy Pro sends for MIDI feedback into the format that the SMC-Mixer uses

This page has links to projects that demonstrate useful techniques.

Clip Sequencing Examples

Dial Sequencers 1.1
Screenshot of the dial sequencer example

This project demonstrates using a stepped dial to sequence clips into a song without need for the timeline. The project demonstrates two ways you might use a dial to sequence a song:

  • An automated dial that plays the song from start to finish when triggered
  • A 'stepper' dial that advances from one section to the next when triggered.

In your own projects, you can combine the techniques. For example, you might set up a dial to advance through some parts and manually advance for others.
