Overriding Concert- and Set-Level Mappings
By default, mappings you make at the concert level (to parameters and actions) take
precedence over mappings to individual patches or sets in the concert. If you map a
screen control to a parameter at the concert level (for example, to Master Volume), that
screen control cannot be mapped to a parameter or action in a patch or set, unless you
override the concert-level mapping.
Similarly, mappings you make at the set level take precedence over mappings for any
patches in the set. If you map a screen control to a parameter at the set level (for
example, to an effect on a set-level channel strip), that screen control cannot be
mapped to a parameter or action in a patch in the set, unless you override the set-level
mapping.
If you try to map a screen control that is mapped at the concert or set level, text
appears in the Screen Control Inspector informing you that the screen control is
mapped at another level, and the parameters in the Screen Control Inspector are
dimmed. You can override the concert- and set-level mappings for an individual patch,
and then map the screen control at the patch level.
To override concert-level mappings:
m In the Screen Control Inspector, select the “Override Concert mapping” checkbox.
The parameters in the Screen Control Inspector become active.
To override set-level mappings and other parameters for a patch:
m In the Screen Control Inspector, select the “Override Set mapping” checkbox.
The Parameter Mapping section becomes active, so that you can map the parameter.
Select the checkbox to
override mappings at the
concert level.
