Focus Quick Controls
Focus Quick Controls are focus-dependent quick controls. This means that the active window
focus determines which parameters respond to your MIDI controller.
Focus Quick Controls are the most versatile form of quick controls. You can set them up in the
Functions Browser of the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant.
To set up the focus behavior for the focus quick controls, activate one of the options in the Quick
Control Focus Setup. All hardware controls on your MIDI controller that are mapped as focus
quick controls follow this focus.
By default, Track and Plug-in Window Focus is active. As a result, the following conditions apply:
If the Project window has the focus, your hardware controls the quick controls of the
selected track.
If the plug-in window has the focus, your hardware controls the quick controls of the active
plug-in window.
