External MIDI Mapping

Control S32 device parameters and LFO parameters from external MIDI (keyboard, DAW, another controller).

INFO

Overview and how this fits with knob macros: Mapping.

How to map

1. Open the parameter list (device or LFO editor).
2. Highlight the parameter.
3. Hold Back and Select together Hold Select + Back → Options → External Mapping.
4. Display shows: Send a note, CC, or 14-bit CC.
5. Move the control on your external gear.
6. Mapping is saved in the active project.

What can be learned

Message	Behavior
CC	Value 0–127 scales to parameter min–max
14-bit CC	MSB + LSB pair auto-detected for smoother control
Note	Velocity scales to range; on/off params toggle on each note-on

INFO

Channel must match the learned message; any input port works.

Badges

Mapped parameters show a small badge on the list (CC number or note name):

Knob-macro and LFO badges use different glyphs — see Mapping and Modulation.

Remove mapping

Hold Back and Select together Hold Select + Back on the parameter row → Options → Remove Mapping.

The parameter is free for macro or LFO assignment again.

vs knob macros

	Knob macro	External mapping
Source	S32 knob	Incoming MIDI
Setup	Perform → macro grid	Parameter list → External Mapping
Per parameter	One macro path	One external source

WARNING

You cannot combine macro and external mapping on the same parameter. LFO modulation is separate — see Modulation.
