Controller Options for Muséik (3.2)Updated 7 hours ago

1. The laptop trackpad 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. Muséik 3.2 is fully MIDI compatible and can be operated from a MIDI controller or any other MIDI device. See documents in this Help Center about setting up MIDI connections.

4. Muséik 3.2 has OSC functionality built in. It may be possible to map interface controls using OSC.

5. 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.

Whatever control method you select, it is always a best practice to have a USB mouse plugged in as a fallback controller.
