Creating an External Setup
TocreateanewExternalSetup:
1. GototheGlobalP1:MIDIpage,andpressthe
External1tab.
TheExternal1pageappears,withMIDIchanneland
CCassignmentsforeachoftheControlSurfacesliders,
knobs,andswitches.
2. Atthetopofthepage,settheExternalModeSetup
parametertotheExternalSetu
pthat
you’dliketo
edit.
3. Setupeachslider,knob,andswitchasdesired.
SlidersandknobssendthefullrangeofCCvalues,
from0to127.Switchesjustsendavalueof0when
they’returnedoff,and127whenthey’returnedon.
GchmeansthatthesliderwilltransmitontheGl
