Quick Start
This chapter provides a hands-on introduction to the Controller Editor.
It is assumed herein that the Controller Editor is installed on your computer. See chap-
ter
for more information.
The use of the Controller Editor is straightforward. Most actions can be done either from your
NI controller or via the Controller Editor interface, and this in various ways — you can choose
the one that best fits your needs.
In this chapter, we will successively show you how to:
1.
Switch your NI controller to MIDI mode.
2.
Load MIDI assignments for a specific task: Select a whole set of assignments (known as a
Template) for your controller; Select a particular subset of assignments (known as a Page)
for specific control elements on your controller; MASCHINE controller family only: Select
an additional subset of assignments (known as a Pad Page) for the pads.
3.
Modify assignments to make them perfectly fit your own needs.
4.
Organize your customized assignments.
5.
Save and recall the whole set of assignments as a Template.
In this chapter, we will often focus on the Controller Editor interface. But the instruc-
tions provided here can also be applied to most NI controllers — and for a few of them,
even in various ways. Notably, this is very handy in live situations. For each task, we pro-
vide a small summary table with the corresponding shortcuts on each NI controllers. For
more information on using your controller, please refer to the respective controller-spe-
cific chapters, later in this manual.
For details on each and every element in the Controller Editor user interface, please re-
fer to chapter
