8.4.5 Assignments for Knobs

For the Knobs, the Type menu offers the entries Control Change and Program Change. Depend-

ing on the selected entry, a different set of additional parameters is available:

Type Mode RANGE Number Step

Control Change Absolute From 0-126 / To

1-127

0-127

Relative -32 to 31

Relative (Offset) -32 to 31

Program Change From 0-126 / To

1-127

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 Reso-

lution 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 ele-

ment to set the new Control Change value relatively to its current value. Two parameters

are available:

◦ Step: Defines 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 Res-

olution 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.
