Assigning an External MIDI Controller

Below the five User Knobs and crossfader (XF) labels are pop-up menus for assigning MIDI controllers.

To save a template of your MIDI control assignments, configure a default Synchronic insert (with no sounds loaded) for your MIDI controller and save it as a Synchronic plug-in settings file using the Settings Librarian (see Synchronic Plug-In Settings).

To assign an external MIDI controller:

1 If necessary, switch the MIDI module to Edit mode (see Performance and Edit Modes).

2 Select Pitch Wheel or Controller # from the Source pop-up menu.

 

Selecting MIDI control source

3 If you selected Controller #, you will also need to enter the MIDI controller number in the MIDI Control Number field, either by selecting the field and typing the number or by jiggling the MIDI controller.

Pitch Wheel

Assigns MIDI pitch bend (the pitch wheel) to control the corresponding User Knob or the XFade crossfade fader.

If Controller # is selected in the Source pop-up menu, and the Controller # field is selected, you can jiggle the MIDI controller to make the correct controller assignment.
