 Basic Control Surface Setup

 

Configuring Your Control Surface Setup

The left side of the Setup window contains two or three parameter boxes:  Device 
parameters, Special parameters (if your connected device supports them), and Control 
Surface Group parameters. You can configure your control surface setup to meet your 
needs by editing the parameters in these boxes. 

The Device Parameter box contains the following parameters:

 Out Port:  Choose the MIDI output port from the pop-up menu.
 Input:  Choose the MIDI input port from the pop-up menu.
 Module:  Shows the name of the control surface.
 Model:  Shows the model name of the control surface.
 Version:  Shows the firmware version for some control surfaces.
 Color:  Click to choose the color that indicates which tracks are being controlled by 

this control surface. In the Arrange window, the tracks controlled by this device are 
colored along the left edge of the track list (if the track control bars are displayed).

Each control surface must be connected to an independent MIDI in and out port (or 
corresponding USB/FireWire port, designated as a MIDI port by the device driver). 
When the device is added, the automatic setup or scan procedure sets the appropriate 
MIDI input and output port settings for the device. If the MIDI port settings are 
incorrect, you can manually choose them from the Input and Out port pop-up menus.
