+[Back to the French version ↑](#version-francaise)
+
+> **Public V.2026.4 Windows release.** Controller Studio always works on a new AutoMap copy and keeps the source `.rack2` project untouched.
+
+## What does Controller Studio do?
+
+Controller Studio turns a MIDI controller into an organized control surface for LiveProfessor plug-ins. In one application, you can select or build a controller, create its LiveProfessor file, analyze project plug-ins and produce an AutoMap copy ready for testing.
+
+| Live control | Controller bank | Plugin Studio | AutoMap |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Real-time EC4 driver, banks, push, Shift, labels, values and reconnection | Ready-to-export profiles and a controller editor | Real names read from installed plug-ins, batch retrieval, priorities and individual checkboxes | Plug-in and instance selection, UniBank or FullBank, validated `.rack2` copy |
+
+The interface is available in French and English, minimizes to the notification area and keeps the real-time log in a separate window.
+
+## Three-step workflow
+
+1. In **Controller bank**, select your hardware or create its profile, then export the `.ctrl2` file.
+2. Add that controller to LiveProfessor and analyze your `.rack2` project with **Plugin Studio**.
+3. Click the blue **AutoMap** button, choose the useful plug-ins and parameters, then open the new copy.
+
+Controller Studio reloads the generated copy before presenting it. Existing manual assignments remain authoritative.
+
+## AutoMap: the central feature
+
+AutoMap avoids permanently tying every physical MIDI control to every parameter of every plug-in. Controller Studio separates both sides of the mapping:
+
+- the **controller profile** describes the hardware's encoders, faders, buttons, banks and MIDI messages once;
+- the **plug-in profile** describes its real parameters, order, priority and inclusion choices once;
+- **AutoMap combines both** in LiveProfessor Controller Maps for every selected instance.
+
+As a result, one properly described controller can work with every prepared plug-in, while one plug-in profile can be reused with every controller that provides enough logical controls. Changing controller no longer means manually remapping every plug-in; adding another instance of an already recognized plug-in no longer means repeating its MIDI Learn setup.
+
+| Need | Direct MIDI Learn in LiveProfessor | Controller Studio + AutoMap |
+|---|---|---|
+| Initial setup | Learn every physical control, one parameter at a time | Describe or select the controller once, then let AutoMap create the assignments |
+| Several plug-ins | Repeat the mapping plug-in by plug-in | Process every plug-in, or only the checked ones, in one operation |
+| Several instances of one plug-in | Repeat the work for every instance | Automatically reuse the same parameter order on all selected instances |
+| Change MIDI controller | Relearn the new hardware's CC/Note messages for the plug-ins | Select or build its profile and export its `.ctrl2`; the logical AutoMap slots remain reusable |
+| Select useful parameters | Manually browse every exposed parameter | Select, exclude, prioritize and name them once in Plugin Studio |
+| Banks and parameter-rich plug-ins | Manual organization that often differs between plug-ins | UniBank for a simple layout or FullBank for up to 99 logical controls |
+| Labels and feedback | Depend on the mappings built by hand | Short names, values and Companion feedback follow the same order as the controls |
+| Project safety | Mapping is performed inside the open project | AutoMap creates and validates a new `.rack2` copy; the source project remains untouched |
+
+Existing manual mappings are never overwritten: they remain authoritative and AutoMap fills only the available slots. The result is a reusable system that maintains one controller bank and one plug-in bank instead of many **controller × plug-in × instance** mappings.
+
+## Plugin Studio
+
+A `.rack2` file stores parameter order and identifiers, but not always their human-readable labels. Plugin Studio retrieves that data directly from installed VST3 plug-ins, each in an isolated process. A result is accepted only when its parameter count exactly matches the LiveProfessor project.
+
+After project analysis, **Retrieve all real names** processes every plug-in type in one operation, creates or updates local profiles, and automatically backs up previous versions.
+
+For one plug-in:
+
+1. open the plug-in profile and click **Automatically retrieve real names**;
+2. use **Select all**, **Select none** or the individual checkboxes;
+3. adjust the short label, kind, technical role or priority if needed, then save the local profile.
+
+If an older format or a particular plug-in does not provide a directly compatible inventory, Controller Studio automatically offers LiveProfessor Companion/OSC feedback as a second method.
+
+The link between each Controller Map slot and the internal parameter identifier is preserved, preventing a correct control from receiving another parameter’s label.

+
+## Built-in controller bank
+
+V.2026.4 includes 33 declarative profiles ready to export and can build more directly in the application:
+
+- Akai Professional LPD8 MK2, MIDImix, APC Mini MK2, MPK Mini MK3, MPK Mini IV, and MPK Mini Plus;
+- Arturia MiniLab 3, KeyLab Essential MK3, and BeatStep;
+- Faderfox EC4, PC4, UC4 and PC12;
+- Behringer X-Touch, X-Touch Compact, X-Touch Mini, and X-Touch One;
+- Korg nanoKONTROL2 (CC mode, factory knob and fader assignments);
+- Novation Launch Control XL MK2/XL 3, Launchkey MK3/MK4, and Launchpad X/Mini MK3;
+- PreSonus FaderPort V2, 8, and 16;
+- Solid State Logic UF1 and UF8;
+- DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter Twister;
+- generic 16-control MIDI controller.
+
+Hardware modes and manufacturer references are collected in the [controller profile documentation](docs/CONTROLLER_PROFILE_SOURCES.md). The bank can be updated from the application and then remains available offline.
+
+## Build and share a controller
+
+Click **Create a controller…** to start with eight encoders, then add, remove, or reorder absolute or relative encoders, faders, and buttons. Every control accepts CC, Note, NRPN, or Pitch Bend, its channel, and its number. **Learn movement** and **Learn push** capture messages directly from the chosen MIDI input. You can also **Edit / duplicate…** an existing model or **Import a profile…**.
+
+**Save to my bank** validates the profile and makes it available offline. **Save + create .ctrl2** immediately produces the LiveProfessor file. Replacing a personal profile keeps a backup of the previous version. The Live page also provides **Configure / MIDI Learn…** for the active controller; the setup/group section shown with the EC4 remains hardware-specific.
+
+The Live page **Settings** window restores EC4 Bridge’s advanced controls: Overlay update rate and duration, Companion and label refresh delays, LiveProfessor feedback timeout, and persistent display. These timings are available to every compatible controller; setup/group and SysEx tools remain EC4-only.
+
+To submit a controller to the shared library:
+
+1. create or select its profile in **Controller bank**;
+2. click **Submit to the library…**;
+3. Controller Studio validates the profile and automatically inserts all its content into the form;
+4. GitHub opens to identify the author and request final confirmation;
+5. add manufacturer documentation or hardware test results when possible, then submit.
+
+That final confirmation deliberately stays with GitHub: Controller Studio never asks for or stores a password or access token.
+
+The public library lives in this repository under [`library/`](library/). It contains declarative JSON profiles only—never downloaded executable code.
