dicated by the Focus frame (5). This multi-level drop-down widget allows you to quickly navi-
gate through the structure of the channel to the desired parameter. The detailed procedure is
explained in the next paragraph.

Selecting a Parameter in the Target Selector

The Target selector (see picture above) allows you to choose from all available parameters for
each Macro Control.

The Target selector allows you to quickly select the desired parameter.

This tool is similar to a menu containing several levels of submenus—with the notable differ-
ence that every intermediary selection stays visible for faster switching.
When assigning a new, unassigned Macro Control, do the following:

menu (for now the only menu of the Target selector).

The menu is organized into subcategories:

Settings

(listing the properties of the current

channel),

Slots

(listing the Plug-ins loaded in the current channel), and possibly a third

category listing the channels included at the next level: if you’re editing the Macro proper-
ties of the Master you will see the

Groups

subcategory listing all Groups of your Project,

and if you are editing the Macros of a Group you will see the

Sounds

subcategory listing

all Sounds in that Group, and if you are editing the Macro properties of a Sound you will
see the

MIDI

menu item which upon selection lists all available Control Change messages

that can be assigned to a Macro Control.

The Macro Control menu item

MIDI

lists the full range of MIDI Control Change messages

from 0-127 which can be individually assigned to a Macro Control in order to control parameters on
an external MIDI device. If you are unsure which MIDI Control Change message can be used to con-

trol a particular parameter, please check the documentation that came with your MIDI device for
details.
