I am experimenting with a simple midi volume slider as an input device.

How in the world do I set this up?  I cannot get the midi device to un-gray the Model Binding.

Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, but you can use a MIDI device in MB as input. Using a relation constraint you can connect slider and button of a MIDI device (like a PVX-1600) to control any properties (attributs) like a joint rotation or a blend shape, this is very usefull to create puppettering setups.

Remember that is a skeleton hierarchy is characterized, all the joints transformations will be locked. To unlocked joints, go the in the ‘character ctrls’ window, under the ‘Show” menu, unchecked the ‘Skeleton lock trs’ option

Hope this helps

Relation Constraint was what I was looking for.

Thanks!
