The Mapping System
Whatever you do on your NI controller, the Controller Editor translates it into a MIDI message
that is then sent to the desired MIDI port — this is what the Controller Editor is all about:
mapping human actions to MIDI events.
The Controller Editor’s mapping system is structured in a way that allows you to efficiently or-
ganize your assignments. This makes the whole mapping process a lot easier and informs you
about what will happen whenever you actuate a control element on your NI controller. The next
paragraphs will introduce you to some basic concepts.
4.3.1
Assignments
An assignment defines which MIDI event is triggered by a particular control element. Available
MIDI event types are “MIDI Note,” “MIDI CC,” etc. Every action on a control element is trans-
lated into one MIDI event, the corresponding assignment defines the rules of that translation.
Depending on the type of control element (button, knob, pad, fader, encoder, pedal input,
footswitch…), the available assignments differ. For more details about all available assign-
ments for each type of control, please refer to section
