CC # 1 was for the mod wheel, # whatever was for something else, etc.

Back in ye olde midi days, hardware synths and sound modules conformed to a standard with these CC numbers, to some extent. CC stands for control change, and it’s what makes knobs n stuff on midi controllers work, each knob is set to a specific CC number, like 17 or 124, and whatever is receiving the midi uses them to control stuff. I tried to do this once, using the ‘Omni’ button in the Remote control settings window, but people who make plugins almost never conform to midi CC standards. My 19 little controls just aren’t going to be that useful, and I’ll spend the vast majority of my time using the mouse.Ī better solution would to have context-sensitive controls when I’m using a synth, my knobs control the synth, when I’m using something else, they control something else. Sytrus, on the other hand, has somewhere around 600 individual parameters that can be linked to something, and even that’s sort of skimping (the filter type isn’t linkable to a controller…). Most notably, my midi keyboard only has 9 faders and 8 knobs, and my PadKontrol only has 2 knobs. This can be useful for tweaking parameters like in filters or whatever, but it has its limits. No matter what you do or select, that knob will control whatever in FL until you tell it not to.

Usually, when you link a knob on your midi controller to something in FL, the link is absolute.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very exciting, so I’ll explain what it does. That’s sort of fun, but there’s an even better, way more awesome thing this can do Override Generic Links. After pressing it, teaking controls in FL Studio and then pressing it again, you can easily link those controls to knobs or whatever on your midi controller. The multilink controllers button looks like a joystick. Multilinking controllers was a new feature in FL 7 or 8, I don’t really remember, but it’s pretty much just an easy way to link a bunch of knobs on a mid controller to things inside FL Studio.
