How are you controlling Niagara particles with MIDI?

Hi, I am starting to make some tests for a live presentation where I will be controlling Niagara Systems with a MIDI controller.

For now, with my limited experience so far, I am creating the Niagara systems inside a BP and using an exposed variable in the Blueprint to drive the Niagara user Parameters inside the system. Then I can map the exposed variables to the MIDI controller.

I am doing this because I can’t manage to get the Niagara User Parameters exposed to the MIDI remote preset when the bare Niagara system is placed in the world.

I wonder if there is some simple method that you are using to control dozens of parameters and avoiding going through a BP.

Thanks and best regards
Matias

Hi there. Did you find a solution? I’m hoping to do the same thing. Thanks!

Hi DejitoProd,
no, I am still doing this, but I am used to it now and find it quite fast to do it.
Best
