Assigning a MIDI Controller to a Parameter

If you are using a Steinberg remote control device, for example, the CC121, the controls are already assigned to parameters. You can customize these default settings.

Prerequisite

You have set up your MIDI remote control device.

Procedure

  1. Select File > Preferences > Remote Devices.
  2. From the pop-up menu at the top of the dialog, select your MIDI control device.
  3. On the Device Editing tab, click the Edit Map button.
  4. In the tree structure, click the parameter that you want to remote-control.
  5. In the Control Editor section, enter a name in the Control Name field.
  6. Select the type of control.

    Depending on the type of control on the MIDI remote control device, you must select a control with relative values (knob), trigger values (button), or absolute values (fader).

  7. Click in the Message field, and on your MIDI remote control device, move the control that you want to assign.

    The name of the controller is displayed in the Message field.

  8. Click Save to the right of the This Control is Modified message.
  9. Click Save to the right of the Edit Map button.

Result

The MIDI controller is now assigned to the function.
