Hi,

I assume this is not possible, but since DP has so many hidden goodies, I'd rather make sure...

Is it possible to rename the non-standard CC controllers used on a given MIDI track ?

By default the non-standard controllers are just named CC12, CC13 etc - would be great to be able to rename them for each MIDI track... memorizing what all of those CCs actually do for each instrument in a large template is not happening...

up to seven may be named

DP / Preferences / Editing / Continuous Data

I need more than that

Looks like you will need a cheat sheet-- that's a great alternative to memorizing them.

yeah, that's what I've come to reside to...

I was spreading out the CCs over various MIDI tracks... has a few advantages, one is a dedicated name for each track ergo MIDI CC... works well on smaller projects...

but on very large templates, track count goes so crazy high for the many libs used, that I need to use 1 MIDI track with all the CC data on it... but on some libs I have 15-20 CCs per instrument...

naming CCs (per track) and persistent splines for MIDI editing would be a dream come true in DP...

That makes sense. If they have the function for 8 CCs, perhaps there is an expansion that is possible.

I don't use CC's that heavily right now, but it does seem like an intriguing way to make the music richer and more dynamic.

yeah, most important thing is that the CCs used change for each MIDI track (--> for each instrument/articulation, or at least for each library), so I need dedicated CC labels per MIDI track.

The edit option under Preferences is only for 7 CCs and those are global labels, they'll never be useful on all libs unless you really keep them to the most standard CCs: CC1, CC7, CC11 etc.. which is what they are already set up as.

Yea, that's pretty limited. That would be a useful function for the MIDI based composer. Distinct and multiple name sets for CCs. I love it.
