4. Configuración

4.1 Connecting the M-BRIO

The M-BRIO controller is designed for plug-and-play operation. Follow these steps to connect your device:

1. Connect one end of the provided USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the M-BRIO controller.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-A cable to an available USB port on your computer (macOS or Windows), iOS device, or Android device.
3. The M-BRIO will power on automatically and be recognized by your operating system as a standard MIDI device. No additional drivers are required.

4.2 Configuración de software

Once connected, open your preferred DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), instrument, or lighting software. The M-BRIO should appear as an available MIDI input device. Refer to your software's documentation for specific instructions on how to assign MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages to parameters.

The M-BRIO transmits standard MIDI CC messages, making it compatible with a wide range of applications without complex setup.

5. Operating the M-BRIO

The M-BRIO features two 100mm faders and eight infinite rotary encoders with LED feedback. It also includes an OLED display for parameter visualization and eight layer modes for enhanced control.

5.1 Faders (F1, F2)

The two 100mm faders (labeled F1 and F2) provide smooth, high-resolution control over assigned parameters. These are typically used for volume, expression, or other continuous values in your software.

• Movimiento: Slide the fader up or down to adjust the corresponding parameter.
• Asignación: Assign these faders to specific MIDI CC messages within your software.

5.2 Rotary Encoders (1-8)

The M-BRIO features eight infinite rotary encoders, each with an integrated LED button. These encoders provide precise, continuous control and can also be pressed to trigger actions.

• Rotación: Turn the encoder clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust parameters. Being "infinite" means they do not have physical start/end points, allowing for continuous adjustment.
• Función de clic: Press the encoder down to activate a secondary function, such as resetting a parameter, toggling an effect, or selecting an option.
• Retroalimentación del LED: The LEDs around each encoder provide visual feedback, often indicating the current value or status of the assigned parameter.

5.3 Layer Modes and Presets

The M-BRIO supports 8-layer modes, allowing you to switch between different sets of assignments for the faders and encoders. This expands the controller's versatility, enabling you to control numerous parameters without re-mapping.

• Switching Layers: Use the dedicated layer selection buttons or a combination of button presses (refer to the device's display or quick guide for specific commands) to cycle through the 8 layers.
• Automatic Memorization: The M-BRIO automatically memorizes the last preset used for each layer, ensuring your settings are retained when switching between layers.

5.4 Pantalla OLED

The integrated OLED display provides real-time information about the current MIDI channel, device, MIDI code, and data values being transmitted. This helps in monitoring and confirming your controller assignments.

• Monitoreo de parámetros: Observe the display to see which parameters are being controlled and their current values.
• Configuración Acceso: The display also allows access to basic settings and configuration options, such as defining user presets.
