340 HARDWARE CONTROLLER
Note: Hardware controllers with touch-sensitive faders send a message whenever they are
moved and released (FaderTouch). "Learning" must be activated before moving and
releasing a fader.
If you want to learn a key/fader for multiple tracks, e.g. mute, select the corresponding
function in "Program functions" (e.g. "Mixer -> Tracks -> Track mute"). Now activate
"Track -> Auto increase" and start programming the first track. After pressing "Learn",
the value of the track is automatically increased by "1". All you have to do is to actuate the
next element on your controller and press "Learn" again.
The "Delete" button removes assignment of a function.
If a controller moves in the wrong direction after programming it, repeat the programming
sequence and activate the "Invert vpots direction" option.
Last MIDI data: These fields display the last MIDI data that was received.
Send MIDI message: This function can be used to send another MIDI message to the
control for LED control.
MIDI messages that are sent by a hardware controller's control element are normally the
same messages used by the application to remote control the control element. This can be
the position of a fader or a key's LED light. There are also controllers which expect different
MIDI messages. These can be entered in the fields.
Control element sends 14-bit messages: Activate this button if the control element
which is to be learned sends two MIDI messages. HUI protocol does this. There can be
different control elements on a controller, whereby several send 7-bit messages while
others send 14-bit messages.
Looped control element: Activate this option if the control element to be learned sends
relative movements (e.g. dials to the right or left) - in contrast to absolute positions.
Invert dial direction / Action only on dial release: If a controller moves in the wrong
direction after programming it, activate this option and relearn the dial.
Alternative dial dynamics: If a dial makes large jumps in an irregular manner while turning,
the dynamic can be decreased using this option.
Do not send feedback: You can specify for each control element whether a response
from the application to the controller should be prevented, independent of the controller
settings of the output mode.
Status key: Controllers normally send a MIDI "IN" message when a key is pressed and
then a MIDI "OUT" message when the key is released. Most controllers send alternating
"IN" or "OUT" messages for pressing and releasing respectively. To be able to use keys in
the normal fashion, activate this message during MIDI learning.
Modifier: Assigns modifier keys for the computer keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl) to execute special
functions. Pressing the assigned modifiers will execute these special functions.
