Use parameter mapping graphs

Each parameter mapping has a Parameter graph. You can edit the graph to remap input values
to different output values for the parameter.

Open the Parameter graph for a mapping

m

In the tab for the mapping or in the Mappings tab, double-click the Graph button for the
mapping you want to edit.
The Parameter graph window opens. The title of the graph window shows the parameter name.

For information about editing graphs, see

Work with graphs

on page 62.

Map screen controls to all channel strips in a patch

When you map a screen control to a channel strip parameter such as volume or pan, you can
map it to control the same parameter in all of the channel strips in the patch. This is particularly
useful when you want to control the overall volume of a layered sound, even if the different
layers are played across multiple keyboards.

Map a screen control to all channel strips in a patch

1

Map the screen control to a common screen control parameter, such as volume or pan.

2

In the column on the left of the Parameter Mapping browser, select the Send to All folder.

3

Select the destination from the second column.

4

Select the parameter to map the screen control to from the third column.

You can map the screen control to actions for transposing software instrument channel strips,
channel strip parameters, and MIDI control message types from the Destinations folder. When
you map a screen control to all channel strips in a patch, the parameter to which the screen
control is mapped changes to the same value for all channel strips in the patch when you move
the screen control.

Note: When you map a drum map using Send to All, the Send to All folder contains MIDI notes,
not controllers.

Undo screen control parameter mappings

You can undo parameter mapping if you decide you do not want to keep the mapping. When
you undo parameter mapping, all mappings created in the current Learn mode (either by
pressing Command-L or clicking the Map Parameter button) session are undone.

Undo parameter mappings

m

Choose Edit > Undo (or press Command-Z).

Remove screen control mappings

If you want a screen control to be free of any mappings, you can remove its existing mapping.
This can be useful with controls that pass through MIDI messages (for example, for pitch bend
and modulation wheels, or expression pedals) when you do not want them to send MIDI
messages for their pass-through control type. You do not need to remove the mapping for a
screen control when you remap it.

Reset the mapping for a screen control

1

In the workspace, click the screen control you want to map.

2

In the column on the left of the Parameter Mapping browser, click None.
