Chapter 3 Controller assignments 44
Control Name and Label elds
The Control Name and Label elds are shown at the top right of the Controller Assignment
parameters in the Expert View window.
Control Name and Label parameters
•
Control Name eld: 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 eld. The
control name is for display only and has no eect on function.
•
Label eld: Shows characters that represent the label for the assignment that appears on the
control surface display—for supported control surfaces. Unsupported control surfaces can
only send information, not receive it, and therefore cannot display an assignment label.
If the eld contains xed text, it can contain any number of characters. When used as a
placeholder for dynamically created text, however, the eld contains three characters that
represent the label. The rst character is always @, followed by two additional characters. For
example, “Send@s#” translates as “Send1,” “Send2,” and so on.
•
Second Character: This character is used to dene a type for the event label. For example:
t=track, r=surround, s=send slot, S=number of sends, e=EQ band, E=number of EQs, p=insert
slot, i=instrument slot, and so on.
•
Third Character: This character is used to dene a value for the chosen event label type, such
as the track number or name. For example: #=number of track, send slot, EQ band, insert slot,
and so on, n=name, p=name of parameter addressed by the assignment, P=name of rst
parameter, o=parameter oset—counted from 1, O=maximum parameter oset—counted
from 1, b=parameter bank oset or bank size—counted from 1, B=total number of banks—
counted from 1.
Flip Group and Exclusive parameters
The Flip Group eld and Exclusive checkbox are shown in the Controller Assignment parameters
at the top right of the Expert View window.
Flip Group and Exclusive parameters
•
Flip Group Field: Enter the same integer value for two assignments to dene a counterpart for
Flip mode—for supported control surfaces that provide Flip mode. By setting a fader and an
encoder to the same ip 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, both of which use the
same ip group. One assignment needs to be absolute (using a fader, for example), and the
other assignment needs to be relative (an encoder, for example).
•
Exclusive checkbox: Turn on to deactivate all other assignments that have Exclusive turned
o for the same control on supported control surfaces. This limits a modeless assignment to
particular modes. For example, faders normally control volume. To create a mode where faders
control the send level, select Exclusive.
