4.3.7. MIDI Learn assignment

The MIDI plug icon at the far-right side of the toolbar places the plug-in in MIDI learn mode.

MIDI-assignable parameters will be shown in purple, which means you can map physical

controls to those destinations inside the instrument. A typical example might be to map a

real expression pedal to the Output control, or knobs, faders and buttons on your controller

to the different virtual knobs and switches of the plug-in.

In the image above some of the parameter controls are red. That means they have already

been assigned to an external MIDI control. They can be reassigned, though.



♪

: Remember that you can also assign the Preset Forward and Backward arrows to an external

control.

4.3.7.1. Assign / Unassign controls

If you click on a purple area, you’ll put that control into learning mode. Move a physical

dial, fader, or button and the target goes red, indicating that a link has been made between

the hardware control and the software parameter. There’s a pop-up window that displays

which two things are being linked and an Unassign button that will disconnect the two.
