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.
Using the Control Name and Label Fields
The following describes the use and options available for the Control Name and Label
fields in the Controller Assignment Parameter area at the top right of the Expert View
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.
Label Field
For supported control surfaces, shows characters that represent the label for the
assignment that appears on the control surface display. Unsupported control surfaces
can only send information, not receive it, and cannot display an assignment label.
If the field contains fixed text, it can contain any number of characters. When used as a
placeholder for dynamically created text, however, the field contains three characters
that represent the label. The first character is always @, followed by two additional
characters.
• Second Character: This character is used to define a type for the event label; for example,
track, Insert slot, Send slot, and so on.
• Third Character: This character is used to define a value for the chosen event label type,
such as the track number or name.
For example, “Send@s#” translates as “Send1,” “Send2,” and so on.
The following table shows the possible meaning for the second character.
