Main Profile is your default operating system profile which is in use, unless some other profile is selected or an supported application is started.
Main profile (e.g., Windows Default) can be considered as a "general profile": lt is active as long as you are not using any software which is supported by an application profile - or unless you deliberately activate another profile (when Dynamic Mode is set "Off").
When Dynamic Mode is set "On", Loupedeck device will automatically activate an application profile at the same time that application is activated on your computer (e.g., Capture One, Illustrator or Lightroom Classic in this example picture).
The fun comes in when you start customizing the Main Profile to suit your needs! Add all the desktop, custom and universal plugin actions you want to create the perfect control set.
