MAPPERS

Assign a Key and Action using Key-Learn + Action-Learn The fastest and most likely the easiest is using the Key-Learn in combination with the ActionLearn skin selection options. 1. Select your controller from the devices dropdown 2. Click the Plus button at the bottom to Add a new entry (Key-Learn is on by default) 3. Press or Move the appropriate item on the controller. You should see a key descriptor show in the Key drop-down list that represents the key you just touched/moved. 4. Click on the Action-Learn button and the mapper dialog will disappear exposing the skin for selecting the appropriate action to assign. 5. Click on the skin element whose action you now want to assign to the device‘s key. (If an action is on a subpanel of the skin, then you must have that panel showing before you start this process.) 6. The mapper dialog will appear and have the selected skin elements action in the Action box. Now you can manually modify the action by adding additional parameters and actions. If you don‘t want to modify the selected action and want to assign more of your controller‘s keys to finish the mapping, just repeat steps 2 thru 6 above until you have completely mapped your controller. Assign a Key and Action manually After clicking the Plus button to add a new entry, select the down arrow of the Key drop-down and select from the list of Key names that you want to assign. You can also still use the KeyLearn to select your key from the controller as well. After the key is identified, start typing the action you want performed in the Action box. Actions are composed of a verb word with parameters that follow and influences how the action performs. Underneath the Action box, is a description box that explains what the action does and what parameters can be assigned. If you are unsure of the action names, in the ‗See also‘ box is a list of the actions that can be applied to a key. This list will reduce in the number of entries as you type in the action box to show you the actions that most resemble what you are typing. 45
