Mapping Controller Parameters via the Inspector

You can assign the knobs and faders of your MIDI instrument to note expression parameters via the Inspector.

Procedure

  1. In the controller parameter list, select the parameter to which you want to assign a MIDI controller.
  2. In the Global Settings section, open the MIDI assignment pop-up menu and select the MIDI controller parameter that you want to map to the selected note expression parameter.
  3. Optional: If the MIDI controller parameter you are looking for is not on the list, select MIDI Controller Setup, and activate the parameter in the dialog.

Result

You can now record note expression data using the controller messages that you just assigned.

In the CC column in the Inspector, the number of the assigned MIDI controller message, or PB for pitchbend, or AT for aftertouch is shown if the mapping is active. MIDI controller messages that are assigned but inactive, are shown with a dot.

Note

The VST 3 parameter Tuning is automatically assigned to the pitchbend wheel of your MIDI controller. All other parameters are assigned by default to the first MIDI controller message, CC1: Modulation.
