Chapter 5: Using Stand-Alone Mode 47
4 To select the currently displayed preset, select
Recall by pressing the channel 7 Select switch.
The LCD prompts you to confirm that you want
to recall and load the selected preset from inter-
nal flash memory.
5 To confirm, press the channel 7 Select switch
(OK). The selected preset is loaded and displayed
across the LCD.
To begin programming controls, see “Program-
ming Controls” on page 49. To begin by naming
and saving your presets, see “Presets to Save and
Recall Maps” on page 51.
About Preset Pages
Each Command|8 preset provides two pages, or
banks, of programmable controls. In other
words, the progammable faders, encoders, and
switches can each be given two unique assign-
ments per preset (one assignment, per control,
per page).
To bank to the other page of a preset:
In Stand-Alone mode, press the Bank switch.
By default, both pages of each preset share iden-
tical values for programmable faders, encoders,
and switches within the same preset. This pro-
vides an efficient and practical starting point for
complex custom mapping, as pages automati-
cally share the most common and needed as-
signments (such as faders always controlling
volume).
By default, page 1 uses MIDI channels 1–8, and
page 2 uses MIDI channels 9–16. You can cus-
tomize MIDI channel assignment as needed (see
“Programming Controls” on page 49).
Mapping
Command|8 faders, encoders, and 24 of its
switches can be programmed, or mapped, to CC
values required to control other devices. As
many as eight presets can store unique, custom
MIDI maps, each with two pages (or banks) of
programmable switch functionality.
In addition, the primary Transport switches, as
well as the eight Channel Mode switches, are
factory-assigned in all presets (and can not be
customized).
Mapping is a simple process that involves the
following tasks:
Edit MIDI Maps. Touch to select faders, encod-
ers, and switches, then assign custom MIDI
Continuos Controller or switch values to match
the target device, as needed. See “Editing MIDI
Maps” on page 48.
– and –
Use Presets to Save and Recall Maps. Save and
recall up to eight custom MIDI maps in Com-
mand|8 Presets. See “Presets to Save and Recall
Maps” on page 51 for more information.
Controls in Stand-Alone Mode
Faders Each fader can be mapped to any MIDI
Continuous Controller (CC). Default is
Volume (#07). Start and end MIDI values, as
well as custom names, can be specified for each
fader.
Encoders Each encoder can be mapped to any
CC. Default is Pan (#10). Start and end MIDI val-
ues, as well as custom names, can be specified
for each encoder.
