[Question] MIDI Mapping for DecentSampler plugin from MPK Mini Plus

Sorry for the super specific question, but can’t seem to get this to work. Trying to setup MPK Mini Plus rotary knobs to control the settings on a Decent Sampler midi instrument within Ableton 12. When I press the MIDI button (upper right corner of Ableton interface) that makes all the accessible parameters turn blue, it doesn’t seem to include the Decent Sampler plugin controls. Anybody tried this or got a tip on how to get it to work?

You need to "configure" the plugin first in Live: https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/working-with-instruments-and-effects/#using-plug-ins. Then you can use any Control Surface (or manually map)

(alternatively you can directly map a MIDI controller to plugin parameter in some plugins)
