footswitch means run mode. It depends on the parameter to be controlled and
on your personal taste which Mode setting you should choose. For the rotor
brake both settings can be useful but you will probably want to use things
like Percussion on/off with toggle mode.
Export and import of controller maps is provided via the following
commands:
MIDI Learn: With this control you can assign MIDI controllers interactively.
First you select the parameter to be re-assigned on the controller assignment
list. Then click MIDI Learn and move the desired knob or fader on your MIDI
hardware.
Another way of assigning MIDI controllers to B4 controls is to right-click on
the B4 parameter on any View and to choose MIDI Learn… from the pop-up
menu. Then you will have to move the knob or fader on your hardware controller
and the new assignment is done.
CC Dump: The current value of all panel controls is sent out as MIDI Controller
messages. Use this if you have MIDI controller hardware with endless encoders
displaying the current value of individual controls.
To round up the controls for MIDI controller management we have:
Load: This command imports a saved controller map.
Save: Here you can save the current controller map to disk.
Be sure to save your customized controller maps so that you can easily restore
them in case of a system crash. The Load Controller Map / Save Controller Map
functions are also available via the le menu of the standalone version.
Under Windows, the lename extension for a controller map is bcm.
