Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-in
Assigning Forward and Rewind buttons
The
Forward
and
Rewind
assignments are special cases in the Cakewalk Generic Surface property
page. When you click select either of these parameters, notice that
Literally/Toggle
field becomes
grayed-out, and the
On/Off
fields become available. This is because the
Forward
and
Rewind
commands both require two different MIDI messages to function: one MIDI message to turn the
operation on, and a different message to turn the operation off. This kind of operation is best
assigned to a button that sends out one MIDI message when you hold or push it down, and a
different MIDI message when you let the button up. The property page can usually fill in the
On
field
and the
Off
field correctly if you push the desired button a few times and then click the
Learn
button.
But it helps if you know exactly what MIDI messages the desired button sends out. That way, you
can fill in the correct trigger values in the
On
and
Off
fields if the displayed values are incorrect.
Conserving knobs and buttons
There are a few tricks you can use if you’re running out of buttons, or if your controller/surface only
has a couple of buttons on each strip, and you want to control more parameters on each track:
•
Assign a two-way knob or button to control two different parameters.
If a knob sends out
one MIDI message when it’s turned to the right and a different MIDI message when it’s turned to
the left, you could use it to control 2 toggle-type parameters, such as
Solo
and
Arm
. For example,
if a knob sends out
NRPN # 5000
with a data value of
1
when you turn it to the right and a data
value of
16383
when you turn it to the left, you could use a
Trigger Value
of
1
to turn the
Arm
button on and off, and a
Trigger Value
of
16383
to turn the
Solo
button on and off. That way,
each time you turn the knob to the right, the
Arm
button turns on or off. Each time you turn the
knob left, the
Solo
button turns on or off.
•
Assign a two-way knob to control a continuous parameter.
If your fader is assigned to
control
Volume
, you can use a two-way knob to control
Pan
or some other continuous parameter
such as
Send 1 Level
. For example, if a knob sends out
NRPN # 5000
with a data value of
1
when you turn it to the right and a data value of
16383
when you turn it to the left, you could use a
value of
1
in the
Increment/Decrement Plus +
field, and a value of
16383
in the
Increment/
Decrement Minus -
field. That way, each time you turn the knob to the right, the
Pan
parameter
(or whatever parameter you want) increases by 1. Each time you turn the knob to the left, the
parameter decreases by 1. The parameter continues to increase if you keep turning the knob to
the right, and decreases similarly if you keep turning the knob to the left.
•
Use multiple strips to control one track at a time.
Assign as many knobs and faders as you
want to control lots of parameters on only one track (leave the
Configure Strip Number
field set
to
1
while you’re assigning faders and knobs). Then assign a couple of buttons to
Move 1 Left
and
Move 1 Right
, so you can shift your controller/surface one track at a time.
