Renaming Controller Names
Does anyone know if there is a way to rename the Controller Names? For example, CC20 is labeled undefined. If I wanted to give it a specific name to match functionality with a particular plug-in so it would then show up with the name of my choosing in the MIDI Editor. Currently if I'm using for example CC20, the controller lane is labeled "undefined" with no reference to CC20 without bringing up the Automated MIDI Controllers window. If I'm using 3 or 4 of these "undefined" controller values, it becomes confusing as to which is what. Renaming to match it's functionality would be great.
I should also mention that I'm speaking of controlling Plug-in type instruments not external MIDI sound modules.... If anyone knows one way or the other, please advise. I will highly appreciate your response. Thanks, Chuck Green |

Re: Renaming Controller Names
I am not aware of any program that does this. For it to really be useful I think it would need to be customizable on a per-track basis, since the undefined CC's will never control the exact same thing depending on what you are sending MIDI to.
My workaround is to just put the CC info in the comments section of the track, that's usually enough to remind me what they do for a given track. |

Quote:
I do sound design for films, so I don't have lots of different VIs going. I use Kontakt for performing my sound to pix, varying pitch, EQ, LFO etc as the shot demands. I have 16 MIDI control knobs on an external MIDI keyboard that I use to control Kontakt parameters, and have all 16 automation lanes open on my Kontakt instrument track to keep track of my performance and to be able to quickly modify anything. Unfortunately, track comments don't extend to automation lanes, and without being able to modify the names of controllers 11-26, I'm faced with an unhelpful list of "Expression, effect cntrl, undefined and general purpose" labels that do little to aide in navigation. I hope Avid will consider this as a feature worth adding.

Re: Renaming Controller Names
We are in 2012, version 10, and nothing has changed on this point ... no?

I'd be very interested in that too! Would save nerve and time.

Re: Renaming Controller Names
Now in 2017 with PT 12.7.1... Does anyone know if the feature has been implemented since last post?
I can't seem to find anything new in that regards, but I might just be missing something. |
