Q: Is it "plug and play"? A: Not exactly, but close. You connect sensors and devices to MidiTronTM using its screw terminals. The manual provides diagrams which show you how to wire in many popular sensors and devices. Then, configuration is a snap using the provided software. Q: I have no programming experience. Will I be able to use MidiTronTM? A: MidiTronTM does not require any programming experience. You can use it as an input to any program or device that receives MIDI, and you can drive its outputs from any program or device that sends MIDI. The supplied software allows you to configure the device for the needs of your program or device. Q: I have no electronics experience. Will I be able to use MidiTronTM? A: The MidiTronTM documentation has special sections to guide people without electronics experience. We also provide references to several excellent Internet resources for learning the basics of hooking up electronics. Plus, we're always available on the MidiTronTM email list to help guide you. Q: Does it work with Max/MSP/Jitter? A: Yes, very well. It works with the standard MIDI input and output objects (no special objects required), and the examples and configuration software are written in Max. Q: Do you sell pre-wired sensors and devices? A: Not currently, however the documentation provides a source list for ordering many popular sensors at less expensive retail prices than others' pre-wired sensors. Q: Why doesn't it come in a box? A: We want to keep the price low. We anticipate that many users will be putting MidiTronTM inside another project anyway. |
