Controller Maps define how the hardware controller's knobs, faders and buttons correspond to specific parameters of your audio effects and processors. For example, you can map a hardware knob to control the size of a reverb effect or map a fader to adjust the wet/dry mix of an effect.
You can have as many controller maps as you like and switch between them using Global Snapshots or Cues. Switching between multiple maps allows the same hardware to be mapped to different parameters, for instance, depending on different songs.
The Controller Maps window can be opened by:
Clicking on
Map Controlsin the Hardware Controller WindowUsing the menu
Controllers > Map ControllersUse the
Mapbutton in the application status bar
Mapping
Open the Controller Map editor using one of the ways described above.
Select a controller you want to map
Select one of the controls (knobs/buttons/faders) to which you want to assign a parameter.
In the list on the right, find the parameter of the program function you would like to assign the control to. Use the + buttons to expand each section.
By holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key, you can map one control to multiple parameters.
Quick Assign
The Controller Map provides an overview of mapped controls. To simplify mapping, you can use the Quick Assign feature, which lets you map a controller without searching the parameter list.
There are two ways to activate Quick Assign:
Using the
QAbutton in the status bar in the main program windowKeyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + A
After activating Quick Assign mode, you can assign controllers by changing a parameter with the mouse in a plugin while physically moving a hardware control to link them.
Note that some plugins can’t be mapped using quick assign because they don’t send parameter changes back to LiveProfessor.
Mapping Program Functions
In addition to plugin parameters, application commands can be assigned to button presses from the controllers. These commands can be found in the LiveProfessor Commands section of the mapping list. These can only be mapped from the Controller Map editor and not using Quick Assign.
