Remote Control for external sequencer
Remote Control for external sequencer
The Remote Control function lets you use the hardware controls on the panel of the S90 to control fundamental
operations on the sequencing software of your computer. You can mute your tracks, control the sequencer transport
(Play/Stop), mix both MIDI and audio tracks (up to 16) with the S90’s control sliders, pan the tracks, control EQ,
and tweak effect sends — all without ever touching the mouse. Not only is this a more convenient and efficient way
to work — since it gives you dedicated controls for the functions you use the most — it also (with the control sliders)
gives you finer control over crucial level parameters. If you’ve ever used a mixing console or a hardware sequencer,
you’ll love being able to finally control your sequencing software with buttons and sliders.
