Using a Midi Controller for the mixer
Posted by Alexander Schmid - 11 May 11:45AM
Greetings,

after a long google research and raging around I may ask the forum about my problem... (I wasn't able to find a helping post, so sorry, if I repost this question)

My idea is, to controll the mixer in Sibelius with a midi controller. The user manual sais it should be possible, but I didn't find a capter, where it is shown how to configurate this setup. So maybe you guys can help me :)

I'm using Sibelius 8 on windows 8.1
The Midi-Controller is called "nanoKontrol2" by Korg.

Thanks a lot!!
Alex

PS.: I'm from germany, so maybe my English isn't that great ;D

See this blog by Daniel Spreadbury from a few years back:

http://www.scoringnotes.com/tutorials/controlling-sibelius-from-your-midi-keyboard/

Back in the days, when Avid still owned M-Audio, there was an "Oxygen" series keyboard which were pre-mapped for Sibelius (or the other way around), so you could use the faders on the keyboard to control the mixer in Sibelius. The article above shows how to do that with other brands as well (never tried it myself).

I also have this same situation. I have the M-Audio Oxygen 61 MkIV and can't get it to map into the mixer. I did contact Tech Support and they simply told me the only way to control the mixer faders, transport, etc. was by using the mouse. I certainly hope the fine folks at AVID will fix this in future releases. Sure would improve workflow!
