Assigning one parameter to multiple controls

Post by monked » Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:10 pm

Have tried searching for this but the keywords don't seem to be working in my favour!

I'm trying to assign one parameter to different knobs on my midi controller. i.e, i'd like to be able to access a channel mute from 2 different locations on the controller.

Everytime i assign a control to parameter that is already mapped, the new mapping takes over the last one and replaces it. I'd like to keep both intact.




In summary: is it possible to map one parameter to two or more different knobs?

Thanks guys,

You cannot map one parameter to more than one Midi CC# (Control Change Number) or Note. However, most midi controllers will allow you to edit what CC# or Note messages are sent from each control. So what you would have to do is make the two controls that you want to control the one parameter send the same midi CC#.
