Functional Button Annotations

A very special annotation is the functional button annotation.

With it, you can insert a button anywhere in the document and configure it with various actions to be executed when tapped.

Possible functions include sending various MIDI commands, jumping to another page, starting or stopping playback, scrolling, or the metronome, and much more.

Insert functional button annotation

Press this button to insert a functional button annotation.

Press "Properties" to open the properties window.

Use the “+” to add the desired actions that should be executed later when the button is pressed.

The functional buttons can optionally also have a group number. This is used, for example, to control specific functional buttons or one functional button after another with a foot pedal based on this group number.

It is also possible to create functional buttons that display the value of a specific MIDI controller on a specific MIDI channel. When you tap the button, a slider appears, allowing you to change the controller value.

To do this, create a normal functional button and add "MIDI CC Button" as the only action.
