			If you have a MIDI controller and want to change which plugins or widgets they target, you can use profile switching to accomplish your goal. The basic technique:

			* Create a a control profile for each target,
			* Create a stepped dial or radio button group that switches between target profiles.

			== OVERVIEW ==

			=== CREATE THE PROFILES ===
			You can use any method that you like to create the control profiles. Either create them directly in the Control Settings panel or by turning on MIDI Learn and creating new profiles from the dropdown menu at the upper left of the screen. Create the profiles as Project Profiles. When you are done, you should have one profile per target you want to control plus whatever other profiles your project needs.

			[[File:Duplicate Profile.jpg\|alt=Duplicate profile icon circled\|thumb\|240x240px\|Tap on the circled area to have an option to duplicate the profile. This is a handy way to create the profiles for targets after the first one is set up.]]
			'''TIME SAVER'''! Create one profile and set up its bindings and then duplicate the profile in Control Settings and customize the actions for the bindings. This method is generally faster than setting up each profile from scratch.

			'''Test the profiles'''. Once you have created the profiles, manually enable and disable them in Control Settings and test the bindings.

			=== CREATE THE PROFILE SWITCH ===
			You can use either a stepped dial or radio button group for the target/profile switcher. To create the switch:

			* Edit the dial or radio button group.
			* Tap + to the right of Items Source
			* Choose Select Controller Profile as the action
			* Tap on Project so that our switcher acts on project profiles
			* De-select any profiles that are not a part of the switch. For example, Default should not be selected.

			When Select Controller Profile is the Items Source action, the action will switch between the profiles enabled in the setup panel. The unchecked profiles are ignored and their state unaffected by the switch.

			In this example, the dial will switch between the Monolit, Synth One and Viking profiles. When one of those three profiles is selected, it becomes enabled and the others are disabled. The Default profile is left alone. It will remain enabled if it started enabled.
