Preferences – Keyboards and Control Surfaces
This is where you set up your MIDI hardware; keyboards and control surfaces.
D The “Attached Surfaces” list in the middle shows the currently added surfaces/MIDI keyboards.
Selecting a surface in the list allows you to edit its settings or delete it from the list, by clicking the corresponding
“Edit” or “Delete” button.
D Clicking the “Auto-detect Surfaces” button will scan for connected control surfaces.
This requires a USB connection or a two-way MIDI connection. Note that not all control surfaces support auto-de-
tection - but you can always add control surfaces manually.
D If you have surfaces added in the “Attached Surfaces” list that you do not wish to use with Record, you can un-
check the “Use with Record” checkbox.
D The “Use No Master Keyboard” button allows you to disable MIDI note input in the sequencer.
The surface designated as Master Keyboard cannot be locked to a specific device - it always follows the se-
quencer Master Keyboard Input. By selecting the Master Keyboard surface in the Attached Surfaces list and click-
ing this button allows you use Surface locking, although you will not be able to play the device. See “Locking a
surface” in the Remote chapter for details.
