Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments 49
Flip Group Field
Enter the same integer value for two assignments, to define a counterpart for Flip
mode (for supported control surfaces that offer Flip mode). By setting a fader and an
encoder to the same flip group, for example, they are coupled. To set “none” enter a
value of 0.
For unsupported devices: you need to set up two active assignments, which both use
the same flip group; one assignment needs to be absolute (using a fader, for example),
the other relative (encoder, for example).
Exclusive Checkbox
When selected, the assignment will deactivate all other assignments that have
Exclusive disabled for the same control (on supported control surfaces). This limits
modeless assignments to particular modes. To provide you with an example: Faders
normally control volume. To create a mode where faders control the send level, enable
Exclusive.
Class Menu
Choose the class of assignment (the type of destination parameter controlled) from the
menu. Different options appear below the Class pop-up menu when you choose a
class. The following section describes the different classes, and the options for each.
Mode Change
Choosing the Mode Change class lets you use an assignment to switch from one mode
to another. An additional Mode pop-up menu appears below the Class menu, allowing
you to choose between available modes. For example: The assignment buttons on a
Mackie Control can be used to choose different modes for the encoders.
Note: The mode chosen in the Mode menu is only activated when the Value section:
Mode menu is set to Direct.
If any of the other Value section: Mode menu options is chosen, the following applies:
 Toggle: The assignment toggles between the zone’s first mode and the chosen
mode. The mode change assignment must be located in the same zone.
 Relative: Useful for stepping up and down through modes in a zone—using two
buttons—or for choosing a mode with an encoder. The minimum destination
parameter represents this zone’s first mode, and the maximum represents the zone’s
last mode. The mode change assignment must be located in the same zone.
 Rotate: Useful for stepping through all modes with a single button. A jog wheel, for
example: Off → Scrub → Shuttle → Off. The minimum destination parameter
represents this zone’s first mode, and the maximum represents the zone’s last mode.
The mode change assignment must be located in the same zone.
