56 Chapter 7 Control Surface Support
Controller Assignments Editor Enhancements
The Easy View of the Controller Assignment window has been simplified. The Control
Name field has been removed, because Easy View is generally used for unsupported
control surfaces—such as the controllers on your master keyboard or other fader
boxes.
The Track parameter allows you to choose between selected (which is the default, if
creating assignments on the selected track) or a fixed track number (if you want to set
up your controls as a mixer surface).
The Learn Message button has been renamed to Learn Mode (because you can create
multiple assignments while it’s enabled).
Assignments created for a specific plug-in are only active if the plug-in is present on
the specified track. This enables you to use the same controller messages for different
plug-ins—to control the cutoff frequency of ES1, ES2, or EXS24 via the same knob, for
example—depending on which software instrument is inserted in the selected track.
As a further productivity enhancement, you can now delete the selected assignment,
zone, or mode with the backspace key—or you may use the Edit > Clear menu option
that was available in earlier versions.
When the Controller Assignment window is opened in Expert view, any newly-created
assignments will become part of the currently displayed Mode. When not in Expert
view, the assignment is created in the No Zone section, which contains assignments
that are always active.
Your assignments are stored as preferences, making them available in all songs.
