CC Mapping
Eanbles the mapping of Midi Controllers to most of the editor controls. When enabled you could for instance send CC# 12 to control the base Frequency of DCO 1. This function automatically translates the received input values to the correct range for the Matrix-1000 parameter in question, so this feature is quite handy for all those who are struggling to program their hardware controllers to send the corrrect SysEx strings. See the Controller Map for more details.

Please Note
All Midi settings will be "remembered" by the program so you only have to set them once.
