D If you click on an assignable parameter to select it, you can then select “Edit Keyboard Control Mapping” from
the Edit menu.
This opens a dialog allowing you to select a key command for that parameter.
You may use any key except the [Space bar], [Tab], [Enter], the Numeric keypad keys (which is reserved for Trans-
port functions) and the function keys (except [F2] and [F3]) - or a combination of [Shift] + any key (with the same
aforementioned exceptions).
The Keyboard Control dialog.
D Simply press the key (or Shift-key combination) you wish to use to remote control the parameter.
The “Key Received” field momentarily indicates that it is “learning” the keystroke(s), and then the dialog displays
the name of the key you have pressed. If [Shift] was used, the box beside the word Shift in the dialog is ticked.
You can also double-click on the arrow for an assignable parameter to set up keyboard control:
D A rotating yellow rectangle appears, indicating Learn mode. Press the key (or key combination) you wish to
use to control the parameter.
The rotating stops and the rectangle will now display the key or key combination you used.
About the two Edit Keyboard Control Modes
If Keyboard Control Edit Mode is enabled (ticked) on the Options menu, assigned parameters in the rack are
“tagged”, showing the remote key for that parameter. In this mode, however, you cannot operate Record normally.
This mode is primarily for overview of available parameters and the current assignments.
D Another way to assign keyboard remote commands is to have “Keyboard Control Edit Mode” deselected on
the Options menu, and to simply right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) the parameter you wish to remote con-
trol.
This opens a pop-up menu, where one of the options will be “Edit Keyboard Control Mapping”. Selecting this opens
the Keyboard Control dialog. Thus, you do not have to enable/disable Edit mode from the Options menu if you
know that a parameter is assignable.
! This is the only way Main Mixer channel strip parameters can be assigned to Keyboard Control.
Saving Remote Setups
There’s no need to save MIDI Remote mapping as the Standard Remote mapping for each Record device to sup-
ported control surfaces is built-in, and is always available. You may, however, wish to save specific Remote Override
mappings or Keyboard Control setups as a template:
D This could be done by saving a song document containing all the devices that are affected by the related Key
or Remote Override mappings, but without any sequencer data.
This song document could then be used as a starting point for any new song, by simply loading it, and immediately
using “Save As” to save it under a new name.
q A good idea could be to save these types of “Remote Template” songs in the Template Songs folder. See
“Making a Song appear as a Template Song” for info on how to do this.
