Use ACT or Strip Params
This section lets you decide whether your controller/surface is controlling
track parameters, plug-in parameters, or both.
Note: it’s possible to use the same control on your controller/surface to
control both a track parameter and a plug-in parameter. It’s not usually a
good idea to control both at the same time.
This section has the following controls:
• ACT Enable radio button—lets you assign a control on your controller/
surface to enable or disable the ACT Enable check box. Radio buttons
are used with Learn mode.
• ACT Enable check box—when this check box is enabled (and not
greyed-out), your controller/surface controls plug-in parameters only.
• Both check box—when this check box is enabled, your controller/
surface controls both track and plug-in parameters. When neither the
Both check box nor the ACT Enable check box are enabled, your
controller/surface controls track parameters only. In Both mode, you
typically allocate some physical controls to control Track parameters,
while other physical controls are allocated to control plug-in
parameters.
