About this module

Give each MIDI CC assignment a label of up to five characters. Labels appear on CC VALUE and follow native pattern and project operations.

• Open the native name editor for that CC VALUE slot.
• Move the text cursor and change a character in the name editor.
• Accept the name / cancel the edit.

How to use it

1. Select MIDI A with TRK + trig 9. Set the desired CC number on CC SELECT, then press FLTR for CC VALUE.
2. Hold FUNC and press and hold the encoder for the assignment you want to name.
3. Use LEFT/RIGHT to select a character and UP/DOWN to change it. Enter a short name such as CUTO.
4. Press YES to accept, or NO to cancel. The label appears below that assignment; turning its encoder still sends the assigned CC.

Test evidence

Runs on Core 2.1. Emulator regressions on OS 1.53 and 1.54, an emulator CPU-load comparison with stock, and Modwerk source-build parity with the native build are in TESTING.md. sumedho reports this Core 2.1 build fully tested and working on a Digitakt 1, OS 1.53 and 1.54, for about one to two hours including project save/reload and a power cycle (2026-10-14).
