Configuring a generic MIDI controller
You can configure up to five generic MIDI control surfaces to work with the ACID interface.
For information about your specific device, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
Notes:
• If you have a MIDI controller that includes buttons and knobs or faders, you can use the device as an external control device and as a MIDI
input device for recording MIDI — for example, you can use the buttons, knobs, and sliders on the device for external control, and still use
the keyboard, pitch wheel, and modulation wheel for recording MIDI. For more information, see Recording MIDI on page 189.
MIDI messages that are mapped to external control functions are filtered when you record MIDI. If a note message is assigned to a control
surface function, both the note-on and note-off messages will be filtered.
• Effects parameters cannot be adjusted with a generic controller.
Important:
A generic control surface can control either trim or automation settings. In order to control automation settings, you
must assign a button to place the control surface in automation mode, and the Automation Settings button on the track or bus
you want to edit must be set to Automation Write (Touch) or Automation Write (Latch).
