Each of Impulse’s controls is either assignable or non-assignable. Assignable controls are
‘free’ – their function will vary according to which plug-in, DAW mixer or additional piece of MIDI
hardware is being controlled. Their assignment to a particular parameter of the Thing being
controlled will either be made automatically by Automap, or manually by you. Non-assignable
controls are ‘xed’ – their function will generally always be the same regardless of what sort of
setup you are using Impulse with.
