MIDI CC Assignment

MIDI CC assignment maps MIDI continuous controller numbers (CC 0–127) to patch parameters. Assigned parameters respond to incoming MIDI CC messages sent to the G2’s slot channel.


MIDI CC Pane

Open the MIDI CC pane by clicking the MIDI CC tab in the Side Panel (right side of the editor).

The pane lists all allowed CCs (2–119, excluding reserved numbers). Each row shows:

Column Description
CC Controller number
Name Short controller name (e.g. “Brightness”)
Module Module the CC is assigned to (empty if unassigned)
Parameter Parameter index within that module

Unassigned rows appear dimmed. Click a row to select it; Ctrl/Cmd+click toggles; Shift+click extends the selection.

Rows are drag-and-drop reassignable — drag one CC row onto another to move/swap its assignment.

Buttons

Button Action
Remove Deassign selected CCs
Remove All Deassign every CC in the current slot
Auto Assign Assign free CCs to the currently selected module’s parameters in order

Assigning via Context Menu

Right-click any parameter (knob, slider, switch, or spinner) on the canvas — or any of the four Morph knobs in the Morph toolbar — to open the context menu. Three MIDI CC options are available:

  • Assign CC (N) / Assign CC (none) — assigns whichever CC the G2 most recently received; the label shows that CC number, or “none” if none has been received yet. Useful when you twiddle a hardware knob first to pick the CC.
  • Assign CC… — opens a submenu listing all allowed CCs by number and name. Click one to assign it.
  • Deassign CC — removes the current assignment. This item is only shown when the parameter already has a CC assigned.

CC Overlay

Press F8 to toggle a yellow overlay on the canvas that shows CC number badges on every assigned parameter. Press F8 again to hide the overlay.

Badge width scales with the CC number (2 digits vs 3 digits).


Allowed CC Numbers

The G2 accepts CC values 0–119 for assignment. The editor additionally excludes a set of reserved controllers (bank select, mod wheel, volume, expression, sustain, etc.) to avoid conflicts. The effective allowed range is CC 2–119 minus a small reserved list.

CCs 120–127 (channel mode messages) are never available for assignment.
