CoMA Mode
Many DAWs and performance software tools like Ableton Live and Apple’s Logic have MIDI
Mapping modes that will recognize MIDI data from a controller and map it to whatever you
choose. Since the QuNeo can have multiple data sources for one control, it is useful to
use the Controller Mapping Assistant (CoMA). CoMA mode allows quick mapping of each
available data source one at a time, allowing for rapid and efficient software/controller
pairings.
Here is an
example
of how to use CoMA mode to map the Y-Axis data from a pad on
QuNeo in Ableton Live:
1. Enable MIDI Mapping mode in Ableton Live by clicking the MIDI button at the top
right-hand corner. Select the control you’d like to have QuNeo control in Live.
2. Put QuNeo into CoMA mode by holding down blue Mode button in the upper left-hand
corner for 1 second. All the LEDs will flash and the blue mode LED will turn on (and
stay on), showing that you have successfully entered CoMA mode.
3. Pick the pad you’d like to map to Live and press the bottom right (south-east) corner
of the pad. The SE corner is designated to send out the CC# for the Y-Axis.
4. Repeat step 3 for any other pads you wish to map.
5. Exit CoMA mode by pressing the Mode button again.
6. Take Live out of MIDI Map mode and try out your new mapping by pressing and
sliding your finger from top to bottom (the Y-Axis) of the pad you mapped.
CoMA Mode Mapping Guide
To enter CoMA Mode using the Mode Button, hold down on the Mode Button for 1 second
until all the LEDs flash. When in CoMA mode it is necessary to be familiar with how each
data source from QuNeo is mapped. Here is how to do this for each sensor type:
●
Pads
-
○
When in
Drum Mode
each corner outputs a different
data source. Pressing the NW (North-West) corner
outputs the Note, the NE corner outputs the Pressure
CC#, the SW corner outputs the X-Axis CC#, and the
SE corner outputs the Y-Axis CC#.
■
For your convenience the red LEDs for each
corner will illuminate after the note or CC# is
sent out.
When Pads are in
Grid Mode
a Note and Pressure CC# are in each corner.
Quickly tap the corner to output the Note. Press and hold for 1 second to
output the Pressure CC#.
■
A red LED will illuminate for each Note sent out and a green LED will
illuminate for each Pressure CC#.
●
Sliders
- to output the Note quickly tap the slider, press and hold for 1 second to
output the Pressure CC#, and press and drag a finger to output the Location CC#.
To output the Width CC# for the Long Slider press and hold with 2 fingers.
The red LEDs will illuminate when the Note is sent out, the green LEDs will
illuminate for the Pressure CC#, and the yellow LEDs will illuminate for the
Location CC#. The blue LED on the Long Slider will illuminate when the Width
CC# is sent out.
