Readdress Controls: Provides the means to readdress either selected and assigned controls or all assigned controls.
Important note: Readdress by device is intended for fixed architecture devices - however Audio Architect allows it for open architecture devices.
This is because a device and panels may be created, the device copied then mapped over the panels by device. A worst-case scenario is that there are unassigned controls that will need to be manually corrected.
