MIDI Mapping

---

Overview

Minimal Audio plugins don’t currently support internal MIDI mapping. However, you can map MIDI to most plugin controls using your DAW’s native MIDI assignment features.

Follow the steps below for the listed applications. For detailed instructions, consult your DAW’s manual.

Ableton Live

1. Turn MIDI Map Mode on: macOS: Command+M, Windows: Ctrl+M.

2. Select an automatable parameter that you want to map.

3. Move a knob or slider on your controller. The control is now mapped and appears in the Mapping Browser.

4. Repeat for any other controls you want to map.

5. Exit MIDI Map Mode.

For detailed information on MIDI control, visit Ableton’s “MIDI and Key Remote Control”.

Logic Pro X

1. Press X to open the Mixer in Logic.

2. Press Command+L to open Controller Assignments.

3. In the top-left, select Expert View.

4. Click Learn Mode in the bottom-right to begin assigning.

5. Click a parameter in Evoke to map. It will appear under the Parameter column.

6. Move a knob or slider on your controller. The status should change to Learned.

7. Repeat for any remaining controls you want to map.

8. Click Learn Mode again to disable it.

Bitwig

1. Click the hand icon in the bottom-right of Bitwig Studio to open the Mapping Panel.

2. When open, you’re in mapping mode and all mappable parameters turn green.

3. Move any automatable parameter that you want to map, then move a hardware control to assign it.

4. The Mapping Panel includes advanced settings such as range for each assigned control.

5. Repeat for the remaining controls you want to map.

Note: Mappings made in the Mapping Panel are stored per project.

FL Studio

There are two methods. Prefer Last tweaked control. If that does not work, use the Browser method. Note that not all plugins support Last tweaked control. Both methods establish a link.

Last tweaked control:

1. Start the link. Click the Multilink Controllers icon (Ctrl+J). It will highlight.

2. Adjust the target. Move a parameter in Evoke with your mouse. You should see the parameter name briefly appear above the Multilink Controllers icon.

   • Optional: To use the Remote control settings, right-click the Multilink Controllers switch and select Link to controller, then:

     • Make the links. Move the knobs or sliders on your controller you want to link. Links are created in the order the software targets were tweaked. The process closes automatically once the number of hardware controls tweaked matches the number of software targets.

3. Repeat for any remaining controls you want to map.

You can also use Tools > Last tweaked > Link to controller after tweaking a control.

Browser:

1. Start the link. Click the Multilink Controllers icon (Ctrl+J). It will highlight.

2. Open the Browser. In Browser > Current project > Generator / Effects, locate the plugin and click it to show automatable parameters. Click your desired target in Evoke. You should see the target name appear above the Multilink Controllers switch.

3. Make the links. Move the knobs or sliders you want to link. Links are created in the order the software targets were selected. The process closes automatically once the number of hardware controls tweaked matches the number of software targets.

4. Repeat for any remaining controls you want to map.
