Controller Options for Muséik (3.0)Updated 7 hours ago
If you are running Muséik on a laptop you have three options for how to control the software.
IMPORTANT: A USB mouse plugged into your computer is the recommended controller. Always have a USB mouse available, even if you plan to control the software wirelessly with an iPad.
1. The laptop trackpadpad is functional as a controller, but not recommended. It is simply too clumsy to be precise and requires two hands at all times. Avoid the trackpad whenever possible.
2. A USB mouse plugged into your computer is a very suitable way to control the software. It is also the most stable and dependable option. Beware of wireless mice; battery failure during your show is completely preventable by using a mouse that is powered directly from your computer through a wire.
3. Using a tablet with the Muséik Remote app to control the software wirelessly is a musical and precise option. Many customers tell us that using a wireless connection to a tablet transforms the experience from "running software" to "playing an artistic instrument." We couldn't agree more. But please note: the wireless connection between the computer and tablet can be unstable in some environments. We recommend having a USB mouse plugged in to the computer at all times to act as a back-up control system in case the connection between your computer and wireless device fails. See documents in this Help Center for tips on setting up your wireless controller.
