2. 11 Midi Paddy s Midi support is extremely powerful but like with many powerful software features it requires a bit of setup The following section first addresses what to do if you have one of the natively supported controllers Afterwards it addresses how to make any controller work with Paddy It s in no way a Midi tutorial but it should be helpful to get you started 11 1 General stuff about Midi you should know Midi was originally developed to connect musical instruments digitally This results in some very specific language For instance the physical representation of what we in LR call a slider is called a fader in midi speak Typically instruments support Midi to record notes that are being played This is called a note on event Paddy uses a specific part of Midi which are the Midi controller message as well as note on events One look at a midi controller and you see why this is attractive for picture editing Here are a few things to be aware off 1 A midi keyboard or other instrument sends note on and note off events For instance a chord on a piano would be several note on events followed by several note off events 2 A Midi controller is typically a physical controller with many sliders rotary controllers called encoders and buttons Software controllers are possible e g the Pad can be used as a MIDI controller for Paddy we think and explore If you have any knowledge let us know Things that rota

4. There are a few settings you need to know when programing your Behringer controller with BC Manager General settings The channel and controller number need to be unique over all presets In many settings on the discussion board users used the preset number 1 to 16 as the channel and numbered all encoders and buttons ascending Encoders Choose a channel and controller number Control Channel in the tab Standard output set the value range from O Value 1 to 127 Value 2 You do not need to set a default value in tab General as the values are read back from Lightroom by Paddy but you have to set the resolution This defines by how much the internal value 0 to 127 is changed by one full turn of the encoder The default is 96 which means that you would need to turn an encoder 1 1 2 times to set any slider in Lightroom from one extreme to the other Aa resolution of 60 seems to be a good compromise between being able to fine adjust the settings and also use the encoders without getting tired of turning For the 8 upper encoders both on BCF2000 and BCR2000 you can choose which kind of LED appearance you want to have tab General A bar 1 dot 1 or 2 dots and several other This does not affect any function of Paddy On the BCR2000 the 24 lower encoders do not offer this 83 Paddy user guide V4 2 function although you can set values there The option Show Value on the tab General will display the internal value 0 to 127
5. 11 2 8 2 Updating all presets This sends all settings to the controller Paddy optimizes the function and does not send info for unused controllers in contrast to software like BCManager so it s relatively fast However this obviously takes much more time than just updating one preset You can always update either the BCR or BCF 11 2 9 Importing and exporting settings Share your settings In the File menu choose import or export to export your settings This creates or reads a file with all settings for the BCR BCF and the Midi mapping 11 2 10 Documenting your Mapping 42 Paddy user guide V4 2 Paddy can automatically create an HTML file with your current mapping and displays it in your browser the user interface is closing for this The file should print nicely as page margins and page breaks are defined in the webpage Some browsers fail at this however and you might have to set these manually when printing or use a software like MS Word This is best printed in landscape mode with small margins Below is a screenshot of the output ee GO E B Rep at orig Pas Seting Paddy mis apf fe RE KS Bie BRL Yew Fps Zoch Hdp X Comet lt Select ig Favorite ig ECPAT p Expense IE Collaboration Global intranet Home E Know E leam p McKinsey amp Company Int H views Graphics Americas K Genermgcan Express Dunnen je Web dice Gallery BS Clen Weme Rehm X S CUr Weme RehmiAp_ fe 7 2

Move a specific slider 25 Paddy user guide V4 2 Here you can map slider Movements to keys In contrast to the previous mode here you need at least two keys per slider one to move the slider up one to move it down You can choose between small medium and large moves for the sliders Editing here means that the first keystroke moves a slider However the overall number of keys is larger at least 22 for the 11 basic development sliders compared to at least 13 in the select and move slider mode 9 1 4 Midi Sliders Use these selections to map a Slider to a Midi fader or rotary controller To use these the controller has to be in absolute Midi mode for values between 0 and 127 Paddy does not yet support 14 bit Midi so you have to make sure that your controllers are in 7 bit mode Paddy takes care of that for the Behringer controllers 9 1 5 Presets Macros Camera profiles On the push of a button you can apply a Lightroom development preset in Library and Development module a Paddy relative Development Preset Filter Presets Paddy s Adjustment Brush Presets Paddy s Paddy macros Camera Profiles and you can also pick an exporting preset to use For the preset you want to use you will see a list of the current presets on the right Watch a video on the Filter presets here http www youtube com user PaddyforLightroom feature mhum p u 2 4 nO 16fPCMs They work in the development module which is very cool 9 1 6 Apply

81. re playing a chord on your MIDI piano is somewhere between what the hell and cool Unfortunately all this flexibility means that you have to program any Midi controller for any purpose For all controls a MIDI controller needs to know What channel it sends on What control number it is If it s a button whether it s a toggle or not Depending on the controller some other stuff like lights that have to blink etc pee E Even simple controllers have lots of settings The Behringer BCF2000 for instance a popular consumer model has 8 faders 20 buttons and 8 encoders Each of the encoders has 4 levels called groups and also has a button e you can press it down That makes for a total of 40 continuous controllers encoders or faders and 52 buttons in one preset The BCF2000 has 32 presets So many controllers are available So the first step when using a controller with Paddy 1s to tell the controller what button fader encoder has what ID and sends on what channel This is typically done on the controller or via a so called SysEx syx message to the controller Some program is used to send this message to the controller effectively programming it Fortunately Paddy can do most of that for you as you will see below After the controller has learned what is what Paddy has to learn it as well For the Behringer BCF2000 and Behringer BCR2000 that is very easy It s a bit more complex but completely manageable for other con
