Track
The Track option allows you to use an assignment to set a track parameter. An
additional Track pop-up menu appears below the Class menu, offering the parameters
listed in the following table.

If you choose the Fader Bank, Index, Bus, Output, or Master option in the Track pop-up
menu, the following two parameters are also available:
Â

No.—A 0-based offset which is added to the track number. Typical usage: Fader 1
uses offset 0, Fader 2 uses offset 1 and so on.

Â

Parameter—Clear text of the addressed parameter. Can only be set by the Learn
Assignment for xxx
menu item. Note that for plug-in and instrument parameters,
Parameter Page offsets apply, allowing you to shift the parameter addressing up and
down.

Key
If you choose the Key option in the Class menu, a key press is emulated. A field appears
below the Class menu, allowing you to input the desired key.

Key Command
If you choose the Key Command option in the Class menu, a key command is executed.
A field appears below the Class menu, where the key command that should be
executed is displayed.

Some key commands provide on/off or enabled/disabled feedback. This can only be set
by using the Learn New Assignment button in the Key Commands window.

Track Options

Explanation

Fader Bank

This addresses a track in the Control Surface Group’s current View mode (Mixer,
Global, Arrange), depending on the Control Surface Group’s current Fader Bank
value for this Mode (see below).
Example: The View mode is Mixer, the Mixer view Fader Bank is five, and the
number next to this parameter is two. Thus, the eighth track in the Mixer view
is addressed (Fader Bank and No. are 0-based, so add 1)

Selected

This normally corresponds to the selected Arrange track. Exception: if the
Control Surface Group’s Track Lock parameter is enabled, then “Selected”
corresponds to the track that was selected when Track Lock was enabled

Index

Same as Fader Bank option, but doesn’t depend on the current Fader Bank
value

Bus

An Audio Bus. No. defines which Bus is addressed (again: 0-based; to address
Bus 2, use a value of 1)

Output

Same as Bus option, but for Output Objects

Master

The Master Output Object; If it does not exist in the song, the first Output
Object is addressed
