CTRLR- Installation Help - MEDIACELLAR-MUSIC RECORDS

The program supports the operating system Windows 32/64 bit and the Mac platform, as well as Linux.

The installation also installs a VST.dll for embedding the program in a DAW.

All panels are available as zip files after download and contain all required files:

1. panel file ".panel"

2. background graphic(s) ".jpg"

3. tab Background graphic(s) ".jpg"

4. controls - graphics for knobs, faders, buttons ".png"

5. information file registration, use and copyright ".txt & .docx"

6. factory presets list (if specified in description) ".txt"

Unpack the archive with the appropriate program (operating system or freeware)

In the event of error messages, crashes or the installation of a new operating system, only a backed-up copy of the panel can help.

When you start the program for the first time, the program window is located on the upper right screen.

Use the mouse to enlarge it a little and then maximize it the program window.

Start the program "CTRLR" and click in the menu on: "open Panel". Search for the folder you created before, which contains all unzipped files of the

Panels and load the file with extension ".panel" into the program, pay attention to the file path. Not much is yet visible in the view, since the reference

(link) to the graphic files is missing. Go to the menu under Panel and click on "Panel Mode", an editor window opens on the right.

Click on the "Resources" tab at the top right of the window and then click on the "Add" button at the bottom of the window. Search again for your

Panel folder and paste all graphic files into the Panel Editor window, either individually or by selecting all graphic files by clicking on "open".

Close the program and start it again. If everything should be perfectly visible, you can now also save your settings. Press "Save as" (path) and

Now set up your interface and the used Midi channel via the "Midi" menu. Also pay attention to the settings directly on the synthesizer:

The Midi channels must match and Midi - sending and receiving must be activated, as well as the external control.

The program creates a folder with the name "CTRLR" in the system directory. This is a kind of temporary storage. File path:

C/User/userNAME/AppData/Roaming/Ctrlr. The folders only become visible when the system settings are changed. Every change to the panel

(controller, text notes, preset renaming) is stored here permanently even without storage when the program is closed, like a temporary File.

As described in the section "Windows users", CTRL also works on a Mac. Here you can find the preference files of Ctrlr under:

MacOs/Users/userNAME/Library/Preferences/Ctrlr.

No matter which operating system is used: If an update or upgrade is performed, all files should be deleted from these folders.

As long as the "Save as" or "Save" option in the menu is not pressed, the original ".panel" file in your folder will not be overwritten. If it is

crashes during operation due to an incorrect setting, close the panel under the "File" and "Close" menu. Confirm the query with "ok".

Now go back to the menu and click on "open Panel" and open the original panel from the folder, taking the file path into account.

This bypasses the automatic loading of the panel from the roaming folder, the content is now overwritten again by the "Restart".
