Control Types

• To select a control type, open the MIDI Controller Surface Editor. To the left of the surface display, click a control type.

  Note

  You can add labels for controls by selecting one or several controls and clicking Create Label Field. As soon as you map your control in the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant, the label field is shown, and the label changes to the name of the mapped parameter.

The following control types are available:

Knob

Trigger Pad

Pitchbend
