Reassign MIDI Controllers

This item opens the MIDI Controller Reassignment overlay. You can click the small
rounded boxes on top of the sliders, buttons etc to begin "learning". Turn a knob on
your MIDI controller and it will be mapped to the function in question. To reset a re-
assigned controller value to its default, simply click the box and then click some-
where else. To edit a controller value manually, click the box and drag the mouse up
or down. Drag it all the way down to remove the assignment entirely

(this will be dis-

played as "---")

All controller assignments can be saved and loaded from the

MIDI Config Dialog

window. You can also assign a default mapping that will automatically load every
time you start

To exit this overlay, click once again on Reassign MIDI Controllers or click the cross
in the upper-right corner.
