• Channel pop-up menu: Choose a MIDI channel for the articulation, or choose “-” for
all MIDI channels. This is useful when third-party sample libraries use specific MIDI
channels for articulations.
• Selector pop-up menu: Determines which specific value of the MIDI message chosen
in the Type column triggers the articulation. For example, if you chose Note On in the
Type column, here is where you would choose the specific note for the keyswitch. If you
chose Controller in the Type column, you would choose the specific controller number.
• Value Start slider: Defines the low end of the range for the controller switches.
• Value End slider: Defines the high end of the range for the controller switches.
• Activate Multiple Outputs checkbox: Define up to three MIDI messages that can be
sent to an instrument in order to activate an articulation. This may be necessary for
instruments that require, for example, one MIDI message to chose a category and
another MIDI message to choose an articulation within within that category.
• Revert button: Reverts any changes made to the output assignments to their saved
state.
