Midian

Introduction

The Midian Prime™ is a compact wireless MIDI trigger controller that allows performing musicians to easily and discreetly trigger tracks, clicks, pad-tones or lights. The device consists of two modules: a transmitter module and a receiver module. The receiver module must be plugged into a computer or other device that can receive MIDI signals. The transmitter module can then be clipped to the belt, pocket, or guitar strap of the user, or placed in an otherwise convenient location.

Quick Start Guide

The Midian Prime™ transmitter and receiver modules come pre-paired. To begin use, plug the receiver module (Figure 1) into your desired MIDI-receiving, powered-on PC or Mac using the provided USB-C cable (or other USB 2.0 compatible cable). The module will be discoverable by your PC or Mac as a USB device named “Midian Prime.” The LED indicator light on the receiver module should begin to blink slowly. Next, switch on the transmitter module (Figure 2). The LED indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver modules should both turn solid, and the transmitter display (Figure 2 Marker 3) should display connection bars (Figure 3). Setup is now complete, and pressing any of the four buttons on the transmitter module (Figure 2 Marker 1) will send a MIDI signal to your PC or Mac as long as the receiver module remains plugged in.

Pairing Devices

The Midian Prime™ transmitter and receiver modules are compatible with any other Midian Prime™ transmitter or receiver module. To pair a transmitter module with a receiver module with which it has not been pre-paired, plug the receiver module into your desired MIDI-receiving, powered-on PC or Mac using the provided USB-C cable (or other USB 2.0 compatible cable). The LED indicator light on the receiver module should begin to blink slowly. Next, switch on the transmitter module. The LED indicator light on the transmitter module should also begin to blink slowly. Press and hold the outer two buttons on the transmitter module while holding the receiver pairing button (Figure 1 Marker 2). The LED indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver modules should begin to blink quickly. Hold down for at least 3 seconds and release. The LED indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver modules should both turn solid, and the transmitter display should display connection bars. If either LED indicator light fails to turn solid, repeat this procedure. The transmitter and receiver modules have now been paired, and pressing any of the four transmitter buttons will send a MIDI signal to your PC or Mac as long as the receiver module remains plugged in.

Pairing Additional Devices

The Midian Prime™ receiver module can be paired with multiple Midian Prime™ transmitter modules simultaneously. To pair an additional transmitter module with a currently paired and operating receiver module, switch on the additional transmitter module. The LED indicator light on the transmitter module should begin to blink slowly. Press and hold the outer two buttons on the transmitter module while holding the receiver pairing button. The LED indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver modules should begin to blink quickly. Hold down for at least 3 seconds and release. The LED indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver modules should both turn solid, and the transmitter display should display connection bars. If either LED indicator light fails to turn solid, repeat this procedure. The additional transmitter module has now been paired with the receiver module, and pressing any of the four transmitter buttons will send a MIDI signal to your PC or Mac. Any previously paired transmitter module will remain paired to the receiver module and will function as before.
