Each Mapping corresponds to a certain format of data. Each mapping is represented by a green dot in Multicontroller.
Text Mapping
Strings of plain text. Used by network based protocols to send data such as TCP and OSC.
Midi Mapping
The unique data format used by Midi controllers. For example a Midi Mapping could use a particular Midi Note to trigger the mapping.
DMX Mapping
An Array of number values associated with a single universe of ArtNet.
Automation Mapping
Used by automation systems to send information about the location of items. This is normally an axis number and a displacement, though some protocols such as Posi Stage Net carry additional information such as acceleration.
GPIO Mapping
General Purpose Input Output mapping, the GPIO is used to interface with devices that read analogue or digital inputs.
A controller’s mapping type is determined by how that controller sends data. Pins in Hippotizer are assigned mappings as required.
Multicontroller does not require the user to specifically patch a controller to a target; by default any sources or targets with the same mapping will automatically be connected.
