 Clicking the
Learn
button to try automatically naming them
 Clicking the Off/On button to set the values to off and on
What happens when you press the Learn button: Xynergi sends an off value to the plug-in, then
an on value. It waits to see if the plug-in sends return messages. If this happens, the messages
may contain useful toggle names, but it is not mandatory in the VST specification for this to be
provided, and many manufacturers just send a value like 0 or 1, or nothing at all. It’s worth a try.
Renaming a Control
By default, a control is given the name on the tile used to select it. These names are supplied by
the plug-in manufacturer.
To rename a control, click the
Rename
button, then type your desired name and click
OK
.
Erasing a Control
There is no explicit command to erase a control, but you can do it by assigning a parameter, then
moving it somewhere else. This leaves the first control unassigned.
Setting a Zoom Window
Each page of the plug-in layout may contain two built-in zoom settings, one for normal controls,
and one for ALT controls.
To create the built-in zoom windows, create a zoom window for normal, and/or one for ALT
controls (as described in the Plug-in Zoom section above) while the Plug-in Editor is active. When
the Plug-Editor is exited and saved, these zoom windows are saved with it.
The built-in zoom windows are accessed whenever you toggle from non-Zoom to Zoom using the
upper 5th soft key
. They can be overridden at any time by the normal process of making a
marquee, but will re-appear whenever Zoom is toggled on.
Saving the Fleximap
The Fleximap is saved when you exit the editor, using the same
upper 4th soft key
that you
pressed to enter it.
Fleximap Files
Fleximap files contain all the information about mapping of parameters to controls, including the
displayed names and control types.
There are some useful things you can do by editing with fleximap files directly:
 Delete a file containing errors so that the Plug-in Editor can work.
You will see that a Fleximap file contains errors when the Plug-in shows no parameter
names in the Pad.
 Correct a file containing errors so that the Plug-in Editor can work.
This requires some experience. Most of the errors in Fleximap files are misnamed
parameters. See details below.
 Rename parameters en masse.
 Provide names for Multi-Switch values.
