Can you set the Knobs and Faders to transmit any CC message number you want?

[AkaiProVideo]

@JRivera93 Yes it is customizable with note #'s as well. You can save your preset for future recall.

@aussiedaryl123 If you right click a paramter and choose 'Edit Remote Override Mapping" you can select "learn from the controller" and map by moving the fader or knob. Keep in not every parameter will allow mapping.
