Locking a surface to a device
You can lock a control surface or an additional MIDI keyboard/controller to a specific device so that it is always
“tweakable” and record enabled, regardless of which track has Master Keyboard input in the sequencer. This enables
you to play and record notes for several devices simultaneously from multiple control surfaces/keyboards.
• The master keyboard device cannot be locked!
If you select the master keyboard in the Preferences, you can click the “Use No Master Keyboard” button. You can
then lock this control surface to a device and use its controllers to tweak parameters, but you will not be able to
play the device.
• You can lock several control surfaces to the same device.
However, each control surface can only be locked to one device at a time.
• Info about which devices are locked (and to which control surfaces) is saved with the song.
Locking a surface
There are basically two methods you can use to lock a Surface:
Using the Surface Locking dialog
1. Select “Surface Locking...” from the Options menu.
The Surface Locking dialog opens.
In this picture, the dialog has the master keyboard as the selected control surface - this cannot be locked.
2. Pull down the Surface pop-up from at the top of the dialog and select the control surface you wish to lock to a
device.
