Map screen controls to channel strip and plug-in parameters
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can map
screen controls to channel strip and plug-in parameters for the selected track. Each screen
control can be mapped to one or more channel strip or plug-in parameters for the selected track.
Parameter mappings are saved with the patch.
You can map screen controls using either the Learn process, or the Parameter pop-up menu in
the Smart Control inspector. When you map a screen control, it jumps to the mapped parameter
value. Only one screen control can be selected at a time.
You can copy and paste mappings, which is useful for sharing mappings between different
screen controls of the same patch. When two tracks have identical plug-ins, mappings can also
be copied from the Smart Control on one track and pasted to the Smart Control on the other
track (in which case they control the corresponding parameters for the track on which they are
pasted).
Map a screen control using the Learn button
1 In the Smart Controls pane, click the the Inspector button in the Smart Controls menu bar.

selected, the Name field shows Unmapped. When you select a mapped screen control, the Name
field shows the name of the parameter.
4 Click the Learn button.
5 Click the channel strip or plug-in parameter to which you want to map the screen control.
6 To map additional screen controls, select another screen control, then click a parameter.

process.
