MIDI mapping
Reference 4.4.2 release introduced a new and long-awaited MIDI mapping feature in Systemwide.
It currently allows you to control the following options:
-
Preset selection
-
Bypass button
-
Mono mode
How to use MIDI mapping feature
To start using this feature you first have to assign MIDI controls to the features you wish to control.
There are two ways to access MIDI mapping mode depending on the option in question.
1. Dropdown menu
Calibration Presets
2. Right-click selection
Bypass button
Mono mode
After you have selected the Map MIDI option a new window will open and the software will listen to active MIDI signal to assign to the feature you wish to control.
Once Systemwide has recognized the MIDI control, it will then show up its designation and provide the option to save it.
Now that mapping has been saved, Systemwide will be able to call upon the chosen feature the next time it receives this MIDI input.
Resetting MIDI maps
You can reset all previously configured mapping by accessing the general Systemwide settings through the dropdown menu on the top right corner.
Once in general settings page simply click on the "erase all MIDI mappings" button.

It would be really nice to also map the output gain. This way i can use my behringer xtouch one also as volume know during operation outside my DAW
Hi Daniel,
Sounds reasonable - I've taken note and forwarded your request to the product managers and developers! Although, I won't be able to make any promises for an actual implementation. Many thanks!
Hi Kārlis,
Thanks for your response. Will see what happens. While they are at it there are probably also other nice mappings to think of. What also would help me it to trigger the "Restart audio playback engine" or toggle mono.
Why "Restart audio playback engine", after 8 hour of use or so sonar needs a reset and starts messing up the signal.
It would be amazing to have a feedback mechanism to query which setting is active.
For an example, this way I could highlight buttons on a stream deck based on which preset is active.
Currently there is now way to tell - I can switch to a preset using midi, but looking at the midi controller, I don't know which preset is active at the moment.
