344 HARDWARE CONTROLLER
Hardware controller - Fader scaling
Fader scaling offers you the option to adjust the position of the fader in the program to the
pressed scale of the controller. Of course, fader control also functions without this
adjustment. Control via a hardware controller can occur within a range of +6dB to -100dB.
Normally, the fader position is right at the top for +6dB and all the way down at -100dB.
To execute new scaling, take the following steps:
1. Delete all previous entries. Click on the entry in the list and then press "Delete scale
entry"
2. Enter the value "6" into the "Scale entries on controller" and move the fader all the
way up (to the scale value +6dB). Now, click "Set scale entry" to set the new entry.
3. Move the fader all the way down and enter the value "-100" into the "Scale entries on
controller". Click once more on "Set scale entry".
4. Insert additional scale position (e.g. -10,-20, -40, etc.) in the same way.
To test if the scale matches, close the dialog with okay and compare the controller's fader
positions with fader positions in the program mixer. Additional scale values can also be
added later. To change a value, first delete the previously learned value.
Hardware controller – "Internal" mode
The internal modes are used to adapt Samplitude to different hardware controllers which
operate using different concepts. Depending on the mode, the controller display is
controlled differently and Samplitude interprets the controller information differently.
Hint: If you are using a hardware controller which is not listed in the hardware control
setup, then you should select one from the list that is similar to yours in concept and
design.
