.

Setting up External MIDI Controllers
Each of your device’s controls (knobs, fader, etc.) can be configured via the Controller list.
You only need to do this once, as the Controller list is global for all presets. Make sure you
are on the Controller tab of the Options page in the SideKick. Follow these steps to add a
new MIDI controller:
1. Click on the
Add Controller
button on the bottom of the SideKick to add a new controller
entry. Rename it by double-clicking on the white headline bar.
2. To link a (physical) device to the controller entry, click on the
Learn
button and oper-
ate the knob (fader, etc.) you want to link briefly. Its MIDI code will be shown in the
box right of the button and the
Learn
button will pop out. It is also possible to assign
keyboard shortcuts the same way!
If you want to change the device a controller is linked to, just click
Learn
again and operate
the desired knob.
Important: If the MIDI footswitch you are using is sending “on” only while it is pressed
(instead of switching between “on” and “off” each time you press it), this will be the be-
havior of the assigned parameter as well. If you want to change it, activate
Toggle Mode
in
the Menu of the according controller.
