Save the Current Mapping as a Named Profile¶
Save your current MIDI bindings under a name so you can recall them later or switch between controller layouts without re-learning every binding.
Before you start¶
- At least one binding must exist in the Bindings table. An empty mapping can be saved but is not useful.
- Open
Settings > MIDI Mapping...to reach the MIDI Controller Mapping dialog.
Steps¶
- Open
Settings > MIDI Mapping.... - Confirm that the Bindings table shows the bindings you want to save.
- In the Profile: field, type a name for the profile. The field accepts free text; it also shows existing profile names in its drop-down if any have been saved before.
- Click Save.
The profile is stored immediately. The Profile: drop-down is refreshed to include the new name.
What each control does¶
| Control | What it does | Setting key |
|---|---|---|
| Profile: | Editable combo box. Type a new name to create a profile, or pick an existing name from the drop-down to overwrite it. | — |
| Save | Saves the current bindings under the name shown in Profile:. Does nothing if the field is empty. | — |
| Load | Replaces the current bindings with those stored under the selected profile name. | — |
| ## Tips |
- Typing a name that already exists in Profile: and clicking Save overwrites that profile without a confirmation prompt.
- To keep bindings for different controllers separate, use a descriptive name such as the controller model or use case.
Troubleshooting¶
- Clicking Save does nothing — The Profile: field is empty or contains only spaces. Type a name first.
- A profile name does not appear in the drop-down after saving — Click anywhere to dismiss the drop-down and reopen it; the list refreshes after each save.
