    You may also need to configure the controller:

    • For specific serial controllers, you will need to configure the serial port.
    • For generic serial controllers, you will need to configure the number of buttons / pedals, and the serial port.
    • For custom driver controllers, you will need to configure the number of buttons / pedals, and the file path to the driver library.

    Click Next.

  • Step 5: Controller Button / Pedal Detection page

    If you have selected a generic or custom controller type, the application will need to detect each of the buttons or pedals. Press and release each of the buttons or pedals as prompted.

  • Step 6: Controller Command Map / Test page

    Here you will see a list of the controller's buttons or pedals.

    • The first column shows the name of the button or pedal.
    • The second column shows the application command that will be run when this button or pedal is pressed. Click on the command and select from the pull-down list that appears to select a different command.
    • The third column is used to test the controller configuration by showing if each button or pedal is currently pressed.

    Click "Reset to default commands..." to reset the command mappings for each button or pedal to their original state.
