8.6. Customize the User buttons

The User buttons are found in the DAW Controls / User section of the front panel. These
buttons are dedicated to their DAW functions in DAW mode and Analog Lab mode, but are
assignable when in User mode. They still display their DAW mode names in User mode, but
they will send certain types of MIDI data instead.
The Mode menu lets you choose between the 3 modes available for each User button. Each
mode contains a unique set of parameters:

8.6.1. User button Off
