Hardware Input and Output Panel

An overview of the hardware input/output panel An overview of the hardware input/output panel

The hardware in/out panel is where you can manage the settings for any physical gear that is connected to Sensory Percussion. This includes sensors, MIDI devices, microphones, speakers, headphones, guitars, synths, etc. Unlike the virtual inputs panel, this is a global panel, meaning your hardware stays the same regardless of what set you have open.

Adding Inputs/Outputs​

Hardware inputs and outputs are both added by clicking the '+' button in the respective panel.

In Hardware Inputs, you'll have twelve choices: 7 Sensor types, Drum Trigger, eKit, Analog, Grid Pads, and MIDI. See Hardware Inputs for what each one is for.

In Hardware Outputs, you'll have two choices: Analog, or MIDI.

The most common hardware setup is Sensor Inputs --> Analog Outputs, but you can create any combination of input/output types.

You can always delete a hardware input/output by selecting it and hitting the delete key.

Your setup​

Hardware inputs and outputs belong to your setup, not to a session. A few related pages:

  • Environments save your inputs and outputs along with your audio, MIDI, and OSC settings, so you can switch between setups in one click.
  • Sensor Expansion adds seven more sensor inputs with a second EVANS Portal.
  • Hardware Remap moves your inputs and outputs to a new interface in one step.
