MIDI

Use your keyboard, guitar, launchpad, and more with Aitum!

Aitum has support for MIDI devices out of the box, with no additional configuration. To use a MIDI device with Aitum, simply plug it into your computer, and then launch Aitum.

Getting Started With MIDI

Below is a guide that will walk you through the basics of using MIDI and Aitum together, as well as some information about how to interface with some common MIDI devices and DAWs such as Cubase, Ableton Live, and TouchOSC.

Getting Started with MIDI and Aitum

We recommend launching Aitum last, after connecting the devices, so that we can detect them successfully. You may encounter issues on Windows if other programs on your computer are actively using your MIDI devices at the same time as Aitum.

The MIDI channel values in Aitum are 0-15. Most MIDI software and hardware define MIDI channel values as 1-16. This is true for the channel values of both Notes and Control Changes. This means that setting a channel to 0 in Aitum is equal to 1 in most other devices and software’s. The Aitum team intends to change the values internally to be 1-16 in a future update. (Update timeline TBD)
