Mapping controllers

External keyboards have no controls or faders for VST 3 parameters, which can therefore not be recorded directly. To remedy this, you have the possibility to assign a certain MIDI controller (or Pitchbend and Aftertouch) to any of the Note Expression parameters in the list. The MIDI assignment is shown in the CC column in the Inspector.

The same MIDI controller can be used for several parameters, but only one of these controllers can be active at a time. If the mapping is active, the number for the assigned MIDI controller is displayed (or PB and AT for Pitchbend and Aftertouch, respectively). If a MIDI controller is assigned but inactive, e. g., because the selected parameter uses the same assignment as another parameter, a dot is shown in the CC column.

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 (CC1: Modulation).

To manually specify the record mapping for the parameters, use the MIDI Learn function, or load a mapping preset, see below.
