HARDWARE CONTROLLER 339
Customizing controllers
Most devices available on the market understand protocols such as Mackie Control or HUI.
If your device is not included in the list simply select the nearest compatible device.
Note: Before adapting an existing template to your controller, you should save it under a
new name using the "Save as..." button.
If you can't find your device in the list or want to change the default settings, you should
proceed as follows:
Now go to the "Adapt controller" tab. The following dialog will appear:
Use Mackie Control if your controller can emulate this mode. In this case, 7-bit messages
are transmitted. You can also see this in the MIDI input monitor. Pressing a button displays
a new line, another line is displayed upon release. HUI receives 14-bit messages, i.e. two
lines respectively.
In the mixer, which should be open at the same time, you can now select the element you
wish to program on your controller. The saved function is displayed in the section Program
function, e.g. "Fader master" for the fader in the Samplitude mixer. Alternatively, you can
open the context menu in "Progam function". This contains a list of all remotely controllable
functions in Samplitude. The uppermost commands are purely mixer functions and are
suited solely for the controller connection. The lowermost commands are illustrations of the
complete Samplitude menu structure. You can use this to assign each command from a
menu to a controller key. Please note that when working with menu commands, the
controller LEDs remain inactive.
1. Select a program function via the context menu or by moving a mixer element.
2. Move the fader or press the corresponding key on your controller. The MIDI data for
this element is displayed in the section "Last MIDI data".
3. Press "Learn" and the new data will be assigned to this function.
