→ The  Pages  tab  lights up  and  the Pages  pane  appears on  its  right. You  are  now ready  to
assign parameters to the Parameter pages.
The  Pages  tab  can  be  clicked  only  for  Native  Instruments  or  External  Plug-ins  and  for  the  Macro
properties. For all other Plug-ins and Channel properties, parameters and Parameter pages are not
editable, and the Pages tab is grayed out and inactive. For more information on the Macro proper-
ties and defining Macro Controls, please  refer to  ↑12.3, Creating Custom Sets of  Parameters with
the Macro Controls.
When  the  Pages  pane  of  the  Assignment  area  is  open,  you  also  notice  a few  changes  in  the
Control area above:

The Control area with the Pages pane active in the Assignment area underneath.
(1) Delete Page button (“x” symbol): Click the little “x” after a page name to delete this Parame-
ter page.
(2) Section Label fields: These fields allow you to define sections of parameters within the dis-
played page. Double-click the field above the first parameter you want to include in the sec-
tion, type the desired name for the section, and press [Enter] to confirm. The new section will
include all following parameters until the next section  starts (this can be seen only after you
have closed the Assignment area). Moreover, the Parameter page will mirror the label(s) of its
section(s) — if there is more than one section, the page label will mirror all of them, separated
by slashes.
