Mode Menu Values for Knobs
For the type Control Change, a Mode menu allows you to select between three operating modes:
• Absolute: In this mode the control element sends absolute values. The From, To, and
Resolution parameters are the same as for the other message types (see above).
• Relative: In this mode the sent message is in a +1/-1 fashion — actually 1/127, which is then
understood by the target software as +1/-1 in that case. This allows the control element to set
the new Control Change value relative to its current value. Two parameters are available:
• Step: Denes the increment to use. Increase the Step value to trigger greater jumps in the
target parameter value. If you choose a negative value for Step, the control will be inverted.
• Resolution: Adjusts the sensitivity of the control element to your actions. At high
Resolution values, a little movement of the control element will be enough to trigger the
message. At lower Resolution values, you will have to move it more frankly to trigger the
message.
• Relative (Offset): This mode is similar to the Relative mode explained above, with the
difference that here the values sent for the “+1” and “-1” messages are 65 and 63, respectively
— in other terms, they are centered around 64 instead of 0. This is well suited for some
particular software implementations. As in Relative mode, a Step parameter denes the
increment to use, and a Resolution parameter adjusts the sensitivity of the control element to
your actions.
10.8.3. Assignments for Buttons
For the buttons, the Type menu offers the entries Control Change, Program Change, and Note.
Depending on the selected entry, a different set of additional parameters is available:
Type Mode Value Number Note
Control Change Toggle Off/On 0-127 0-127
Trigger 0 - 127
Program Change Toggle Off/On 0-127
Trigger 0 - 127
Note Toggle 0 - 127 C-2 – G8
Gate 0 - 127 C-2 – G8
Mode Menu Values for Buttons
For the buttons control elements listed in the above table, and only for some of the MIDI message
types available for these control elements, you can choose from different behaviors for the way
the data is sent. This is controlled by the Mode menu. This menu can have up to four entries,
depending on the message type that you have selected in the Type menu. Here is the list of all
possible entries:
• Toggle: In this mode, the control element has two states, on and off. When you press once, it
switches to the on state — when you press again, it switches to the off state. This can be
useful for enabling and disabling an effect to check how it affects the original sound. In this
mode, there are two VALUE settings: Off denes the value for the off state (from 0 to 127, 0 by
default), and On denes the value for the on state (0 to 127, 127 by default). For the Note
message type, since the off state is predened (it’s the MIDI Note Off message), you nd
instead a single VALUE setting dening the velocity of the MIDI Note On message.
