MimiK Tutorial (Quick Start)
Click on the Play button under the Low Range label. This will cause MimiK to send a MIDI note to
the keyboard. This should in turn cause the keyboard play a note back to the Open Labs
production station. If you do NOT hear a note played back from the Open Labs production station
or see the VU meter light up in the options screen then:
1. Move the Low Range note around (up or down). Your keyboard may only play back from a
small note range. Dragging up or down on the control will move the note range up and
down. Do the same for the High Range.
2. Recheck all your cables. Check for possible bad cables.
3. Make sure the keyboard you are trying to mimic has its MIDI input enabled (read the
keyboard manual). If you plan on MimiKing multiple sounds from multple banks, make sure
your MIDI keyboard or module has MIDI bank select enabled, and MIDI program change
selected.
If you hear a note and see the VU meter lighting up when you hit the play button, then you are
ready to pick what you want to sample from your keyboard.
How to Playback a Sound after using MimiK
To play back sounds that have been made in Mimik, Open Labs has provided you with the sample
player Dimension LE.
Load Dimension LE into either Riff or Reaper.
Once you load up an instance of Dimension LE, you will need to browse to the folder where the
default Mimik folder is located. If you setup Mimik to output to another location just select that
folder instead.
