Control Settings
The controls in a StudioWare panel are designed to send and receive various types of MIDI
information. This information can be transmitted to two possible destinations:
• A specific track in your project
• A MIDI output
When you want to record the movements of controls within a panel, you must make sure that MIDI
data from the control are directed to a MIDI track.
Note: Do not press the Record button in the Transport toolbar!
