XB111  
What's this XB111 thing ??

The XB111 system has been developed as a tool for all advanced
CINEMA 4D users to make creating their high-quality 3D work
a lot easier.
 
The XB111 plugin consists of two combined modules:
 
First, you have the ability to assign up to 5 different object to each
of the 16 XB111 channels via drag&drop, and control their
Position/Scale/Rotation behavior by simply moving the
software sliders.
 
Secondly (and this is the cool part!), you have access to the software
sliders using any external MIDI controler, connected to the
(properly installed) MIDI port of you Windows-based PC.
(99.9% of common soundcards provide MIDI via the gameport!)
 
You can use the external MIDI faders along
with your mouse or tablet.

SETUP THE SYSTEM

 Unzip the XB111 archive into the CINEMA 4D plugin folder.
After starting CINEMA 4D, you activate the plugin
by choosing XB111 from the plugin-menu.
 

EXTERNAL MIDI
HARDWARE

 To activate the proper function, your MIDI controler (fader box)
must be set up:
 
Sending volume data (MIDI controler #07) on channels 0-15
for the XB111 channels 1-16.
 
The MIDI system also gives you the ability to cascade two or
more MIDI controler/fader boxes via MIDI In/Out,
so you can build your own mix of hardware knobs and faders.
 

 
To check the proper function of your MIDI hardware,
your MIDI port and your MIDI connection cable,
you can download the XB111 MIDICHECKER.EXE file
from the www.XB111.de website.
 
This little utility monitors the MIDI port and shows you the
received  MIDI data while you operate the faders.
 
In the "TYPE" column you must see code 7 for the MIDI
volume controler.
 
In the "CHANNEL" column you must receive the values from
0-15 for the different midi faders.
 
In the "DATA" column you see the values for each fader,
and they must range from 0-127.
