The Web App

MIDI BLASTER is fully customizable via its Web App for use with Chrome/Microsoft Edge on Mac/PC.

Connecting

After connecting your MIDI BLASTER to your desktop, open up the Web App and press "Connect". Choose MIDI BLASTER from the dropdown list. If the connection is successful, the "Connect" button will read "Ready ✨".

Customizing

First, ensure that the preset you'd like the changes to be made to is selected on the left.

From there, you can select the sensor and/or button you'd like to customize by clicking on it on the right, then make the changes in the container underneath.

Once you're happy with your preset, simply press "Apply" and the changes will be made to the preset selected.

You can then move on to other presets, or close the application.

Sensor Functions

There are various customizable functions pertaining to the sensors:

CC/MPE

Toggle between CC or MPE mode. Changing this affects all sensors within the preset.

CC Value

Select the MIDI CC Value for the sensor selected (0 - 127). Please see documentation for which value will control what effect on the software/hardware you are using.

Note

Available only when MPE mode is selected. Sets the MIDI note for the sensor selected (0 - 127). Please see MIDI number -> note chart.

LED - Multi Fade

On by default. The LED hooked to the sensor selected will fade between two randomly selected colors dependent on proximity. Resets between each reading.

LED - Brightness

LED - Color
