Controller mode
Controller mode is the basic mode of the SC4. Here the encoders are used to control any parameters in your
soft-or/and hardware by standard midi commands like CC and notes.
First choose the group by the green buttons. The display shows the group name: GrP1....GrP8
Turning and pushing of the encoders can send different commands which you can program in edit mode.
LED crowns and red LED’s in the center of the crowns show the current value and states of the
corresponding encoders. After turning or pushing any encoder you can see the numerical value in the
display too. A programmed acceleration gives a better feeling for the encoders so you can go from min to
max value easily. Hold any shift key while you turn the encoders to have a precise control without
acceleration. To get the encoder value shown on the display without changing, hold any shift key and press
the encoder.
The right point in lower right corner of the display shows incoming midi data. It flashes bright when the
device receives controller data. Low flashing indicates midi clock or other midi data.
Ableton Live mode
The setups 28 to 30 are preconfigured for using with Live 8/9. The display shows special group names (see
below).
Setup 28 is recommended to control parameters of selected track
(tracks below track 16 are available too):
GrP1....GrP4 For free use
trAC (group 5) controls various parameters of the selected track
-encoder 1: track send 1(A), push button 1: track view
-encoder 2: track send 2(B), push button 2: clip view
-encoder 3: track send 3(C), push button 3: stop clip (red led shows stopped clip)
-encoder 4: scene select, push button 4: launch clip (red led shows available clip)
-encoder 5: track select, push button 5: track arm (red led shows arm state)
-encoder 6: crossfader assign, push button 6: track monitor (red led shows state)
-encoder 7: track pan, push button 7: track solo (red led shows solo state)
-encoder 8: track volume, push button 8: track active (red led shows active state)
Vol (group 6) Volume and track active of track 1 to 8
RAC (group 7) Rack control of macros 1 to 8 and some rack functions
-encoder 1: macro 1, push button 1: track view
-encoder 2: macro 2, push button 2: rack on/off
-encoder 3: macro 3, push button 3: previous rack
-encoder 4: macro 4, push button 4: next rack
-encoder 5: macro 5, push button 5: show rack
-encoder 6: macro 6, push button 6: lock rack
-encoder 7: macro 7, push button 7: previous track
-encoder 8: macro 8, push button 8: next track
GLob (group 8) Global controls
-encoder 1: tempo coarse, push button 1: nudge down
-encoder 2: tempo fine, push button 2: nudge up
-encoder 3: quantization, push button 3: stop scene
-encoder 4: scene select, push button 4: launch scene
-encoder 5: track select, push button 5: start
-encoder 6: cue volume, push button 6: stop
-encoder 7: master pan, push button 7: record
-encoder 8: master volume, push button 8: view arrangement/session
