Global Settings

The Global Settings page contains all the settings and configurations that relates to the entire device regardless of which Setlist, Scene or Preset is active.

Settings are divided into the following sections:

User Interface

Display Brightness

Controls the backlight level of the touch screen.

Screensaver Settings

Controls the period of no activity on footswitches and display before the Screensaver activates.

UI Mode

This controls selects whether the full set of features should be available in the on-screen user interface, or only a subset of it.

In Reduced mode, the “While Active” tab is hidden from the Preset Editor, which means that LFOs and Envelopes are also hidden away. Likewise the Sequencer tab is hidden as well.

Further, advanced message settings, like Delays are also not visible.

Long Press Threshold

This defines how many milliseconds the system should wait, before a footswitch press should be considered a long press.

This is only relevant for presets that have the Long Press feature and message list activate in their settings.

Network

This section controls whether the Wifi radio is turned on or off, the current wireless connection, as well as lists the current IP addresses, both wireless and wired.

Removing a know network can done by tapping the trashcan icon in the list of connected networks.

MIDI Interfaces

MIDI over Network (RTP)

Sending MIDI over the network (WiFi/Ethernet) is possible based on the RTP-MIDI/AppleMIDI protocol.

This works across network connected devices such as Macs, PCs and an increasing number of network enabled devices. MIDI over network is structured into Sessions in which a number of Participants exchange MIDI data.

If “RTP MIDI Session” is turned on, MORTRIX will set up its own Session and allow for other devices to connect to this. It will also start looking for other sessions on the network, which can be connected to, by clicking the “link” button. In RTP-MIDI terms, this means that MORTRIX can both act as a Responder as well as an Initiator.

Each discovered Session has an “Enable Auto-connect” button, which when pressed, will make MORTRIX automatically connect to this session, when it appears on the network.

Participants in the current session is listed below, in the “Participants” section.

MIDI over USB

Whether or not to automatically open MIDI connections to MIDI compliant USB devices when they are connected to the system (USB Host ports).

Connected USB devices and their MIDI connection state can be observed in the Device Browser.

MIDI Through

This table controls how and which MIDI data coming into Mortrix through should be forwarded to other ports.

MIDI Settings

External Control

Controlling Mortrix from other MIDI sources is enabled in this section.

First an option to listen for incoming PC messages on a specific channel and react to these by activating Scenes. Each scene has to be uniquely and explicitly mapped to a PC value in order to be activated by MIDI - This is defined inside the settings for each Scene.

Second, an option to listen for incoming PC messages on a specific channel and react to these by activating Scenes inside the current Setlist. Scenes in the setlist are indexed sequentially following the Setlist configuration, so PC#0 to PC#127 activated Scene 1 to Scene 128 respectively.

Third, an option to listen for CC messages while in a Scene. CC messages can be used to activate and deactivate Preset inside the current Scene.

Presets are not uniquely mapped to CCs, but are sequentially indexed like so:

Page 2

Page 3

CC values are mapped as follows:

Examples:

• In Scene Mode with External Control set to listen on MIDI channel 4, Activate Scene X mapped to PC#6:

  • Send PC#6 on Channel 4

• In Setlist Mode, with an active Setlist and External Control set to listen on MIDI channel OMNI, Activate Scene number 6

  • Send PC#6 on any MIDI.

• Activate Preset 3 (top right) in the first page of the current Scene

  • Send CC#2 with value 100.

• Activate Preset 6 (bottom right) in the third page of the current Scene

  • Send CC#17 with value 100.

• Deactivate Preset 3 (top right) in the first page of the current Scene

  • Send CC#2 with value 0.

Clock

This section contains controls for:

• Selecting between internal or external MIDI clock source.

• Whether MIDI Transport (Start/Stop/Continue) should be sent, received, both or none.

Software

Device Profiles

Update the collection of Device Profiles on your Mortrix. This requires a network connection (Wifi or LAN).

Device profiles can also be imported from a USB drive, but that is intended primarily for developers and beta testers of device profiles.

Software Update

This allows you to update the software on your Mortrix directly from the internet or from a USB drive (not common). Software updates are released with new features, fixes and other improvements from time to time. It is recommended to keep your software updated, but DO NOT update your system the night before an important gig or a big world tour. Not on Mortrix, not on anything else.

Backup

Backup and Restore all Scenes, Presets, Messages and other settings onto/from a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

Submit System Logs

This button will collect system information and logs and submit them to Mortrix servers for analysis. Please get in touch with support@mortrix.io if this might be necessary.

At the bottom of the Software section, you can find the currently installed version of the Software.
