• Toggle: In this mode, the control element has two states, On and Off. If you press once, it
switches to the On state — if you press again, it switches to the Off state. This can be useful
for example for activating some effect, then deactivating it later. This is usually the default
mode. In this mode, you nd two numeric elds: Off Value denes the value for the Off state
(from 0 to 127, 0 by default), and On Value denes the value for the On state (0 to 127, 127 by
default). For the Note message type, since the Off state is predened (it’s the MIDI Note Off
message), you nd instead a single Value parameter dening the velocity of the MIDI Note On
message.
• Gate: This mode is equal to Toggle with the difference that the state is active for the time the
Pedal is held depressed. In Toggle mode the state is activated until the next time the Pedal is
pressed again.
• Trigger: In this mode, only one message is sent when you hit the control element. There are no
On or Off states. For example, this can be useful for switching to another program (preset,
patch…) or for triggering one-shot samples (e.g., drum sounds or any other envelope-controlled
sounds). In this mode, you thus nd only one numeric eld called Value, dening the value to
be sent when you hit the control element. It goes from 0 to 127 (127 by default).
• Inc: In this mode you can congure the press of a pedal to step through a list of values by
choosing the size of the jump (e.g., 1-2-3-4-5, 2-4-6-8-10 or 3-6-9-12-15), and whether or not
the values wrap around back to the beginning, or stop when they reach their minimum or
maximum.
10.8.7. Assignments for Continuous Pedals
For Pedals used as continuous control, the Type menu offers the entries Control Change and
Program Change. Depending on the selected entry, a different set of additional parameters is
available:
Type Mode Range Number
Control Change From 0-126 / To 1-127 0-127
Program Change From 0-126 / To 1-127
For Control Change, you can set the Range of values that is sent when pressing the pedal, and the
Number of the Control Change message. For Program Change, you can set the Range of values
that is sent when pressing the pedal.
