7.6 Generic Control functions

The generic controller functions are handled via the 4

USB midi port. To have a match to the MCU Bank

Left/right and channel left/right functions these buttons will also send a signal on the generic USB midi port.

You have to program your DAW for that.

For Cubase such a setup will be available, as I will do that for my setup.

NOTE: If you disable the Monitor Controller function on the ProBox, you will have these buttons and Vpots as

generic controller (marked in green). For the implementation into your DAW please look to the chapter MIDI
