Control Mode - Akai Advance 61 User Manual

Control Mode

Control Mode shows you the current settings of Advance 61's
controls in VIP. You can access this mode only when using VIP.
Orange/yellow controls are assigned to parameters in VIP.
Green/aqua controls are assigned to MIDI CC messages,
which are sent to your DAW.
To navigate this mode:
• Press the Control mode button to view each set of
controls (encoders, switches, and pads).
• Use the Page Left/Right buttons to view each bank of
that control type.
• Use the Cursors to select a control. Alternatively, turn or
press a control to select it directly.
• Press the Data Dial to enter Control Edit Mode.
Note: By default, all knobs in this mode will be assigned to
parameters in VIP. To assign a knob to your DAW instead,
use Control Edit Mode.
Although Control Mode is preassigned to control VIP (orange/yellow controls), it's important to understand
that you can edit these assignments so that you can control both VIP (with orange/yellow controls) and your
DAW (with green/aqua controls) in Control Mode. In contrast, MIDI Mode lets you control your DAW only.
You could therefore configure Control Mode in any of the following ways:
•
to control VIP only (the display will show only orange/yellow controls)
•
to control both VIP and your DAW (the display will show a combination of orange/yellow and
green/aqua controls)
•
to control your DAW only (the display will show only green/aqua controls; effectively, this would act as
an additional MIDI Mode)
