Removing assignments
Clearing a parameter’s MIDI Learn
assigment
• Use the Clear Learn command in the control context menu (right-click or CTRL-
click the control)
Saving MIDI Learn assignments for future sessions
When you make MIDI Learn assignments, they are saved with the current session
but are not saved with the preset.
If you want assignments to persist for new sessions in the future, you must use the
Save as Defaults button in the preferences panel. See section 6:5 for details of this
panel.
Reverting to defaults
If you change MIDI Learn assignments but want to revert to your default assignments
or the factory default assignments, use the
Load Defaults or Load Factory buttons
in the preferences panel.
The only assignments present in the factory defaults are the Perf1 and Perf2
controllers. See section 7:4 for more details on these controllers.
Perf 1 Mod wheel (MIDI CC #1)
Perf  Mono pressure (channel aftertouch)
Host automation
All synth parameters can be automated via host automation when running the DCAM: Synth Squad plugins in a host.
Host automation generally features higher resolution than MIDI CCs. It can usually be ‘drawn’ into tracks in the host,
making it easy to quickly create parameter sweeps directly without having to assign a MIDI CC first. Dedicated hardware
automation controllers for many hosts exist, but they tend to be more expensive than controllers that only send out MIDI
CC messages.
See Appendix 5 for a full reference list of host automation parameters within the DCAM: Synth Squad plugins.
Note that the VST plugin specification does not allow very long parameter names (a maximum of 7 characters). Therefore,
in the VST plugin versions of Strobe, Cypher and Amber, parameter names are shortened. In the VST version of Fusor,
parameters are simply numbered – Par01, Par02 etc. You will therefore need to consult the table in Appendix 5 in order to
use Fusor VST host automation parameters.
Full-length descriptive parameter names are available only in AU and RTAS plugin formats.
