Learn mode
The learn mode allows assignments of controls by incoming Midi commands. That’s quite convenient,
because you don’t have to program any control property (Midi channel, note, CC) separately. To activate /
deactivate hold down the red shift button and press the encoder. The red learn LED above the encoder
shows the active learn mode.
Select a control to learn by holding down the encoder and move up / left or press the desired control. The
red learn LED blinks to show that the device is ready to receive a command for assignment. The display
shows the control name:
P01

You can see the control and row numbers on the faceplate.
There are also some expanded row learn functions on different controls. You can assign several controls in
one row by only one incoming command. Hold down the encoder and move any of the fader / pots 1,8,9 or
12 to the upper / right side (counterwise) or press gray / green button 1,8,9 or 12 twice that the display
shows followings:
rA
…
b01
select all pots of row A or B (learning pot 1 command with ascending channel numbers)
rA
…
b08
select pots 1-8 of row A or B (learning pot 8 command with descending channel numbers)
rA
…
b09
select pots 9-12 of row A or B (learning pot 9 command with ascending channel numbers)
rA
…
b12
select all pots of row A or B (learning pot 12 command with descending command numbers)
(e.g. assign pot 12 to CC032 > pot 1 – 12 to CC021 – CC032, same channel)

rF09
select fader 9-12 (learning fader 9 with ascending channel numbers)
rF12

(e.g. assign fader 12 to CC032 > fader 1 – 12 to CC021 – CC032, same channel)
The expanded learn mode is very useful for fast assignments of a single parameter on many tracks by
setting the same command but different channels to several controls in the same row automatically. The
functions of control 12 is a bit different, because it comes with a setting of descending command numbers
or values instead channels.
To abort the learn process press the red shift button and the red LED will lit again.
The learn mode is available in controller and edit modes. The device accepts commands on all Midi ports
to learn from.
