Hardware controller - Introduction
Samplitude lets you easily control the software using external hardware controllers.
Templates (.cps files) for advanced controllers come supplied. The number of supported
devices is increased continually and they are adapted to the new devices that appear on
the market.
A MIDI interface or USB interface which makes MIDI ports available to the system is
required for operating a hardware controller. Please ensure that the program's MIDI
functions are not deactivated, since they are necessary for addressing the MIDI controllers.
The hardware controller setup contains four registers:
• Controller settings: Selects your controllers and assigns MIDI ports
• Adjust controller: Learns or changes functions
• Options: Carry out additional individual settings
• Scale faders: Adjusts faders to the scales on the controller

Click the Add new button in the controller settings. Select your controller or a

controller that appears beside another one corresponds to an advanced module. You
can use the check box above the controller or the "Activate controller" button to
temporary deactivate a controller.
