Using midi device to control MAYA.

[Anonymous]

I see that 3DS MAX has option for using a MIDI device to control the animation time slider.

Ref: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/3DSMa...

Does MAYA support this?

Or are there any alternatives to controlling maya, other than standard keyboard or SpaceMouse?

Hi,

Yes, Maya supports MIDI input device. Maya has proxy class to achieve that (MPxMidiInputDevice).

Please check the following example.
