MIDI Control

Callie can be controlled from MIDI devices such as keyboards, drum pads, and control surfaces.

Enabling MIDI

1. Open Preferences → Triggers.
2. Select the MIDI input port you want to use.

Mappings are active as soon as a port is selected.

MIDI Learn

You can learn a MIDI assignment in two places:

From the context menu (quick):

1. Right-click a clip.
2. In the quick-actions panel on the left, click MIDI → Learn.
3. Press the key, pad, or controller you want to assign.

From Clip Settings:

1. Right-click a clip → Edit Clip → Triggers tab.
2. Click Learn MIDI.
3. Press the key, pad, or controller you want to assign.

The MIDI message is saved with the clip.

Supported Messages

• Note On — trigger a clip.
• Note Off — can be used for stop or hold-style behaviour depending on settings.

Troubleshooting

• No MIDI input — check the correct input port is selected and no other app is using it.
• Double triggers — some controllers send Note On with velocity 0 instead of Note Off. Callie handles this, but check your controller manual.
