About this Document
Document Conventions
1 About this Document
This document explains how to use your Native Instruments (NI) hardware controller and its NI
Controller Templates to control several products from Native Instrument and other companies.
Before you start
In order to control a MIDI-enabled software with your NI hardware controller in MIDI mode,
make sure that this software is set up for receiving MIDI data from the hardware controller. If
the software you want to control is capable of sending MIDI data back to the hardware controller, select your NI hardware controller as a MIDI Out device.
Note that some programs require an assignment file to be loaded in order to be able to control
it with NI hardware controller. These files can be found in the Controller Editor application
folder’s sub folder named “Template Support Files”.
Installation instructions and additional requirements are provided at the beginning of each
chapter.
1.1 Document Conventions
This document uses particular formatting to point out special facts and to warn you of potential issues. The icons introducing the following notes let you see what kind of information can
be expected:
Whenever this exclamation mark icon appears, you should read the corresponding note
carefully and follow the instructions and hints given there if applicable.
This light bulb icon indicates that a note contains useful extra information. This information may often help you to solve a task more efficiently, but does not necessarily apply to
the setup or operating system you are using; however, it's always worth a look.
Furthermore, the following formatting is used:
▪ Text appearing in (drop-down) menus (such as Open…, Save as… etc.) and paths to loca-
tions on your hard drive or other storage devices is printed in italics.
- Controller Editor Template Documentation - 9
About this Document
Document Conventions
▪ Text appearing elsewhere on the screen (labels of buttons, controls, text next to checkbox-
es etc.) is printed in light blue. Whenever you see this formatting applied, you will find
the same text appearing on the screen.
▪ Important names and concepts are printed in bold.
▪ References to keys on your computer’s keyboard you’ll find put in square brackets (e.g.,
“Press [Shift] + [Return]”).
1. Sequences of ordered instructions are introduced by numbers.
Single instructions are introduced by this play button type arrow.
►
Results of actions are introduced by this smaller arrow.
