MIDI Learn Function

Here’s how to associate a MIDI control change with a sound parameter, so that the parameter

can be controlled by that MIDI message.

Procedure

Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).

Choose “Learn MIDI CC.”

Operate your external MIDI device to transmit a control change message.

NOTE

You can’t associate more than one MIDI control change with a single controller. Only the

most recent setting is used.

Cancelling

Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).

Choose “Forget MIDI CC.”
