Motion Messages
The Midi Fighter 3D carries an arsenal of electronic sensors which are used to track its
orientation and translate this into a variety of MIDI messages allowing highly expressive
control of your software. There are two types of orientation messages: edge tilt and button
rotation.
Edge Tilt Messages
The Midi Fighter 3D generates the following tilt based control change messages. All tilt
messages are sent on Channel 4.
Left Tilt | CC0
Forwards Tilt | CC1
Right Tilt | CC2
Back Tilt | CC3
In Traktor mode the Midi Fighter 3D also sends secondary tilt CC's. These operate over the
second half of the range of the primary CC.
Left Tilt Secondary | CC4
Forwards Tilt Secondary | CC5
Right Tilt Secondary | CC6
Back Tilt Secondary | CC7
While sitting flat on the table all four CC's will be at zero, when the Midi Fighter 3D is tilted on
an edge it will send a CC which varies from 0 – 127 corresponding to its tilt angle on that
edge.
The Midi Fighter 3D also sends a channel 4 F0 note on event when any edge CC is active,
and note off event when all edges are inactive, i.e., the Midi Fighter 3D is flat on the table.
As well as a note to indicate if the device is in edge tilt or not, the Midi Fighter 3D sends a
channel 4 F1 note on event whenever it detects that it has been picked up. This is Pickup
Mode.
Button Rotation Messages
The Midi Fighter 3D also generates rotation or "pitch" CC's for each arcade button.
There are 3 rotation modes, Relative (default), Absolute, and Disabled.
The rotation messages are only sent when a button is pressed, and the device is in "Pick Up
Mode"
Relative Mode
In relative mode when an arcade button is pressed, then the device is rotated a CC is sent
proportional to the change in rotation from the point at which the arcade button was pressed.
The CC is sent on channel 4 when the rotation is counter clock-wise, and channel 5
when the rotation is clock-wise.
