Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments 47
Reassigning a Controller
The procedure for reassigning an active controller (an assigned controller in the active
mode) is different to that for an inactive controller (one with an assignment in a non
active mode).
Reassigning an Active Controller
When you use the Learn process to assign an active controller (one with an assignment
in the active mode), a dialog is shown:
 Cancel: Deletes the new assignment, retaining the existing assignment.
 Keep both: Retains the new and old assignments. Typical usage: one knob controls
multiple parameters—as a macro.
 Reassign: Deletes all existing active assignments for this parameter. Typical usage:
reassigning a function key (F1 to F8, for example) to a new key command.
Reassigning an Inactive Controller
When you use the Learn process to assign a controller in an inactive mode, the new
assignment becomes part of the active mode—in the zone that contained the
previous, inactive assignment.
This is typically used as follows: Supported control surfaces generally have empty user
pages available, allowing for new encoder assignments. You would select a particular
user page mode (page 3, for example), and then learn an assignment for the encoder.
Editing Controller Assignments in Expert View
You can edit the following parameters for the selected assignment, in the fields to the
right of the Controller Assignments window.
Control Name Field
Shows the name of the control. For supported devices, the control surface name is
used. For assignments created with the Learn process on unsupported control surfaces,
the control name defaults to “Learned”. You can enter a new name in the field. The
control name is for display only, and has no effect on functionality.
