HARDWARE CONTROLLER 343
The following options concern the synchronization between controller range, mixer
range, and the active track. The controller range describes the section of available tracks
in a project which can be controlled by the controller. The mixer range is the section of
available tracks in the project that can be controlled by Samplitude's mixer.
Controller range follows active track: When this option is active, if the active track is
changed, then the controller range is adjusted so that the active track lies within the
controller range.
Controller area follows controller range: When this option is active, a track within the
controller range is activated if the controller range is changed. The track which lies next to
the previously activated track is activated.
Mixer range follows controller range: When this option is active, changes to the
controller range at the start of the mixer will be adjusted to the start of the controller range.
Mixer range follows controller range when active track is changed: This option is only
sensible when "Controller range follows active track" is active. If a track outside of the
controller range is active, then the controller range will be adjusted to it. These changes to
the controller range readjust the mixer range.
Note: If you scroll through the mixer and simultaneously hold "Shift", the beginning of the
controller range will be adjusted to the start of the mixer range.
Show track numbers instead of track names: If this option is active, track numbers will
be shown instead of track names in the controller display.
Control assignment display: Some controllers possess an additional display field for
showing the current operational mode (track, EQ, AUX, etc.). If a controller does not such a
display field, then you can deactivate control of the display field so that control commands
don't incorrectly influence other controller elements.
Control fader LEDs: Some controllers possess LED displays that are assigned to the
dials. These can be used for visual display of the current parameter controlled by the dial.
For controllers without LED displays, you can deactivate the display control.
Process messages with dialogs open: Normally, when hardware controller dialogs are
open, MIDI messages are no longer processed so that unwanted changes are avoided. In
some situations, adjusting or programming a controller requires that controller messages
are able to be responded to. In this case, you can activate incoming messages while
dialogs are open. It's a good idea to deactivate this option again once you have adjusted
your controller.
