Compu Live IV Advanced programming
4.1.2. First, setup your controller on screen
The first thing you want to do is draw your MIDI controller on your screen, which will simplify its
use within the software. To make this work, a simple white square with faders and buttons can be
enough. However, you can make the screen representation of your controller closer to reality by pasting
pictures of it. The EasyConsole tool allows you to do that. You will be able to draw your controller and
then use it with Compu Live in just a few minutes.
Defining the background and adding images
It is very easy to create an accurate screen controller following a picture of an actual MIDI board. The
associated picture must be located in the "CSL" directory of the installation folder, in BMP format. The
"Bitmap" section of the "Properties" window allows you to select an image from this "CSL" folder, which
you can use as a background to create an accurate representation of your MIDI controller. If you wish
to add an image to your controller, select the "Picture control" tool and insert a new picture. Then, you
will be able to resize this picture, change its position, or even replace it using the 'Properties" window.
