7.3.2.1 Midi Templates
Midi Templates: Each control (Pad, Knob or Button) sends a Midi message to the USB
output. Default midi mapping is used for controlling Spark Software. You can customize
this mapping, editing Midi messages sent from any of the controls. New mappings can be
saved as Template Files using the File > Save command. In order for a template to be
active on Spark controller you need to send your template to Spark controller with
'Action > Send to Spark Controller' command. Only one template can be active on Spark
controller at a time.
