A Template is the name given to a collection of knob and button settings (all assigned MIDI data of some kind), plus the settings of the joystick and Touchpad. The way that the controls (knobs, buttons…etc.) have been set up is dependent on what the Template is to be used for. For example, a Template for controlling Novation’s V-Station software synthesizer has all the ReMOTE SL controls mapped to appropriate locations within the V-Station software so that rotating\/pushing a dial\/button on the ReMOTE SL changes various parameters on the V-Station.
If you wanted to use the ReMOTE SL to control the Cubase mixer, you would have to reprogram all of the controls on the ReMOTE SL so that they send MIDI messages which Cubase can understand. Every time you wanted to switch between controlling the mixer and the V-Station, you would have to reprogram all the knobs and buttons. Templates mean that you don’t have to continually reprogram the ReMOTE SL controls because you can save all the settings onboard the unit and then instantly recall them by selecting the saved Template. A preset Template is a Template that has already been constructed by Novation so that you don’t need to construct one yourself; all you have to do is select the preset Templates for V-Station and Cubase to easily switch between controlling them both!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[36149],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
