NOTE Turn on to let the note number or pitch define the output value. The value
is derived from where the note falls within the Note Range, specified in the group
below. When the note is at the bottom of the range, the value takes on the Min
value specified in the Parameter Scaling group. When the note is at the top of the
range, the value takes on the Max value from the same group. Anything in between
is interpolated between the Min and Max values. (Note that Min doesn't have to
be less than Max.) The generated value will slide around as different keys are
pressed. The harder a key is pressed, the faster the value changes.
Speed Defines how fast the value changes as keys are pressed.
Velocity Determines the output value based on the velocity that the note
pressed. The notes set in the Note Range group specify which notes are valid
to press. The value takes on the Min value until a key within the Note Range
is pressed. When the key is pressed, the value approaches the Max value based
on how hard the key was pressed. (The value actually travels along a parabola
toward the Max value.)
Sustain Defines how long it takes the value to move through the parabola.
Variable Sustain duration is scaled by how hard the key is pressed.
Pitch Bend Value is defined by the MIDI instrument's pitch bend knob. The
Note Range doesn't apply in this case and is not available.
MIDI Controller Specifies a note event when you're hooked up to a different
type of MIDI controller than the typical keyboard. For example, if you're using
a MIDI slider box, you would select the MIDI Controller option, and then use
the # spinner to specify the note event for the specify slider.
Note Range group
Turn on Note or Velocity, and then set the note range here. A value is derived
from where the note falls within the Note Range.
Low Note Set a note and octave for the lower range.
High Note Set a note and octave for the higher range.
See Note parameter in the MIDI Trigger group, above.
Parameter Scaling group
Contains the Min and Max spinners, which specify the range of generated
values. See Note and Velocity above.
