HARDWARE CONTROLLER 369
Hardware controller options
Depending on the controller in question, received MIDI messages will be interpreted
differently. In the "Options" tab, adjust and individualize settings for different controllers and
operating methods.
Protocol: The protocol specifies a series of internal interpreting parameters. You may
select Mackie Control, HUI, JLCooper, and Tascam.
Display mode: Many controllers feature LCD displays which differ in size and number of
lines, and which also need to be controlled differently. For controllers without a display, you
can deactivate the display control. You may select Mackie Control, HUI, and JLCooper.
Locator mode: Several controllers possess a special display for the current time position
(locator). Locator mode may be set in the following display types: Off, Mackie Control, HUI,
and JLCooper.
Peak meter mode: Some controllers possess a special peak meter display. "Peak meter"
mode sets the way that the display is controlled. You may select Off, Mackie Control, HUI,
JLCooper, and Tascam.
Bank switch track number: A project in Samplitude can include more tracks than are
available to the controller. In this case, the controller only displays a section of the available
tracks. To change this section, change the channels or the bank. While switching channels
changes the section exactly to the track, a bank switch can jump several tracks.
Depending on the number of tracks on the controller and your preferred working style, you
may set different step intervals per bank.
MIDI ping to controller: Most controllers expect a periodic incoming MIDI message (ping)
to ensure that there is communication with the application. Different messages may also
change a controller's operating modes. Enter the message to be sent to the controller.
MIDI ping from controller: As a response to ping messages, controllers usually send a
ping message. So that no confusion results, you may enter these explicitly so that they may
be ignored by the application.
