One Big Page?

Question

The left and right side of my rig go together. I don't want to have one page on the left side and a different one on the right side. Can't I just use one big page?

Problem with the apps one big page work around is that it limits your design as you can't place anything across the join

Thanks, yes, I mention that below in the answer. I will probably revisit this topic once the iTouch version is released... thanks for your comment, hope you can weather it out with the current limits of One Big Page for now.

now a suggestions here http://mididesigner.com/qa/243/i-want-to-have-a-big-cross-fader-in-one-big-page-mode

Answer 1

First off, I would extoll the virtues of using the two sides independently. It's hard to get used to, but it gives you a lot of flexibility to mix and match controls. Also, you (almost) never run into the situation where you can't get to a control because it's on another page. You've always got one of the sides free.

MIDI Designer will also let you work with one big page. Go to

More->Config->Options->One Big Page

you MUST choose a different bank on the right and left side. Therefore the bank selectors at the top of MIDI Designer should say something different on each side, like "1" and "2." That way they access different sets of page.

 

NOTED: If you want to have a huge crossfader than spans both pages, you cannot... yet. I'm aware of this problem and will work towards solving it at some point in the future. can, see this link.
