ECS (Easy Controller Setup)
The ECS (Easy Controller Setup) section makes it simple to control the
CronoX 3 from an external MIDI controller (either hardware or software).
To access the ECS section click on the ECS button which is located on the
lower left of the CronoX 3’s front panel. Clicking on the ECS button opens a
popup menu containing the following items: Off, Learn, Clear, Clear All,
Load and Save.
To use the CronoX 3’s ECS feature, proceed as follows. Click on the ECS
button and then select “Learn” from the popup menu. Select a CronoX 3
parameter with the mouse and then send some MIDI messages to the
CronoX 3 from your MIDI source. Then click on “Off”. That's all there is to it!
From now on you can change the selected parameter with the chosen
controller. In addition to this, more than one controller can be defined to
change a particular parameter. In fact, you can define up to 128 parameter-
controller-combinations. This does not depend on the type of controller you
have nor the particular MIDI Control Change messages it sends.
ECS settings can be saved and restored using the "Load" and "Save"
functions found in the menu that pops up when you click the ECS button. In
addition, a single controller assignment can be cleared using the "Clear"
menu entry. To do this, select “Clear” from the ECS popup menu (the ECS
light goes on) and move control that you wish to be cleared (de-assigning it
from the MIDI Control Change message it is currently controlled by). Don't
forget to switch off the Clear function by clicking the “Off” button after you
have finished!
The “Clear All” menu item clears all controller-parameter assignments at
once.

set in a range from -oodB to +6dB
