Control Linking

With a Keyboard set up, and its control map created, you are one click away from controlling
almost any software parameter using Control Link. The following describes the various ways to
use Control Link.
11.4.1 Parameter Windows
To the far left of the Arrange view toolbar in the Song window, you will notice two windows
separated by a button. The windows are empty by default. The left window displays the name,
value, and other related information regarding the last-changed software parameter; the right
window displays the MIDI name and value of the last-changed, mapped hardware control.
You also can open Parameter windows in each plug-in window. To do this, click on the Edit
Mapping button at the top of the plug-in window.
11.4.2 Link a Hardware Control to a Software Control
The fastest way to link a hardware and software control is:
1. Manipulate the desired software control with the mouse.
2. Manipulate the desired hardware control; for instance, turn a knob. That control
should appear in the right parameter window.
3. Click on the Link button in the middle of the two parameter windows, or press
[Alt]/[Option]+[M] on the keyboard, and the button should light up.
4. Your hardware control is now linked to the software control; manipulating the
hardware control will manipulate the linked software control.
A second way to link hardware and software controls is:
1. Open the control map for the desired Keyboard by double-clicking on it in the External
panel of the Console.
2. Manipulate the desired software control with the mouse.
3. Click on the Hand icon in the left parameter window and drag it over the desired
hardware control in the control map, then release the mouse button.
4. Your hardware control is now linked to the software control; manipulating the
hardware control will manipulate the linked software control.
