Setting the Keyboard's Operation Function

Once you've set up Hammer 88 Pro to work with your DAW, it's time to set the keyboard's operation
function. You can set the keyboard to automatically coordinate with your DAW's features or set it to work as
a personally customized controller. Hammer 88 Pro gives you the option to quickly switch between
controlling a plugin to controlling your DAW with just the touch of a button.
The two operation functions determine the keyboard's editable controls:
•
DAW: The keyboard's controls will be automatically mapped to Faders, buttons, knobs, and pads in
your DAW.
•
Preset: The keyboard's editable controls can be set to functions that you design yourself. A number of
individual preset mappings can be created and then saved to the keyboard's internal memory for you to
load at a later time.
To set the keyboard to operate with a DAW, press the DAW Button. The button will be lit to show that
DAW is selected.
