Keyboard Remote
Assigning keyboard remote commands is very similar to MIDI remote map-
ping. However, as there is no MIDI involved, there is no special setting up re-
quired. Keyboard commands can be assigned the same parameters as when
using MIDI remote mapping, but the functionality differs in one central as-
pect:
➜ Keyboard Remote commands can only be used to toggle on/off or
min/max values for an assigned parameter.
Hence, if you assign a keyboard remote command for a knob, slider or spin
control, it will only switch between the minimum and maximum values for that
parameter. The only exception to this are the multi-selector buttons used for
various parameters such as envelope destination, for example. These will
cycle through the available options when using keyboard remote.
Enabling Keyboard Remote
To enable Keyboard Remote, select “Enable Keyboard Remote” from the
Options menu, or press [Command]+G (Mac) or [Ctrl]+G (PC).
Editing Keyboard Remote
➜ To get an overview of which parameters are remote controllable se-
lect “Edit Keyboard Remote” from the Options menu.
When done, each device you select will show a yellow arrow symbol be-
side every parameter that can be assigned a keyboard remote.

➜ If you click on a assignable parameter, a dialog appears allowing
you to select a key command for that parameter.
You may use any key except the Space bar, Tab, Enter or the Numeric
keypad (which is reserved for Transport functions) or a combination of
[Shift] + any key (with the same aforementioned exceptions).
The Keyboard Remote dialog.
➜ Simply press the key (or key combination) you wish to use to re-
mote control the parameter.
The “Key Received” field momentarily indicates that it is “learning” the
keystroke(s), and then the dialog displays the name of the key you have
pressed. If [Shift] was used, the box beside the word Shift in the dialog is
ticked.
