•Check Controller under MIDI Shift Options, and choose the controller you want from the list.

5. Highlight the key you want to bind from the Key list (if you click inside the Key list to put the focus

on it, you can then play a note on your MIDI keyboard, and the note automatically becomes

next to them. Any commands that have keys assigned to them list the keys in the Computer

column and/or the MIDI column.
