WHAT IS THIS?

MIDI Mix Control is an Unreal Engine 5 plugin that leverages the Editor Utility Widget system. It allows a user to control their audio modulation mixes with their MIDI controllers while also providing a user-friendly interface that provides real-time feedback.


WHY WOULD I NEED IT?

While Epic has shipped MIDI Device support in Unreal Engine back in version 4, it still requires every user to create their own Blueprint or C++ based solution (sometimes per project) to connect their MIDI devices as control interfaces. 

Until now, a turnkey solution to quickly scan and assign a user's MIDI controller and allow them to live mix their project via Unreal Engine's Audio Modulation system hasn't existed. Additionally, this plugin also provides the user with a friendly interface that shows the Control Bus Mix changes that are made real-time, and even allows a user to make changes with their mouse without necessarily needing a MIDI Controller.

A user can also save/load different Mix Profile Indexes and quickly compare mix options without needing to hit a certain gameplay condition during testing.

Technical Details

  • Auto-assign faders or knobs in your MIDI controllers to separate control buses.
