40 Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments
 Input Message: The port and MIDI input message can be altered directly. Some fields
in this section are merely displays, and cannot be changed.
 Value: The range of values, and response, of the controller assignment to incoming
messages is determined in this area. Feedback to the display of control surfaces can
also be determined here.
Controller Assignment Parameters
This section outlines each parameter shown in the right-hand fields of the Expert view.
Detailed descriptions of each parameter can be found in “Editing Controller
Assignments in Expert View” on page 44.
Controller Assignment Parameter Section
 Control name field: Displays the name of the controller for supported devices. For
unsupported devices, displays Learned.
 Label field: Displays characters which represent the label for the assignment on the
control surface’s display. You can view this much like a scribble strip on a mixer.
 Flip Group field: Enter an integer to define a flip group for the assignment.
 Class pop-up menu: Choose the class of parameter (parameter type) you want to
assign.
Note: Depending on the class you choose, different fields and menus for that class
appear below the Class pop-up menu. See below:
 Parameter/Mode pop-up menu/field: Dependent on your selection in the Class pop-
up menu, you can choose from dozens of different parameters/modes. The options
available will change as different classes are selected.
 Group/Track/Command/Key field/menu: These options will also change as different
Class menu options are selected.
 Bank Type pop-up menu: This menu determines the bank relationship of the assigned
parameter. This can be as per the Group setting, By One or By Bank.
Input Message Section
 MIDI Input pop-up menu: Choose a MIDI input source (MIDI Port or Caps Lock
Keyboard). This can be changed by incoming MIDI messages—shown in the Value
Change field.
 Value Change field: Displays incoming MIDI messages that cause a value change.
 Touch/Release field: Enter an integer value to force incoming MIDI messages to
change the touch/release status of the selected parameter. This only applies to
control surfaces that offer touch-sensitive controls—where touching or releasing a
fader, for example, will enable/disable the reception of data from the control surface.
