9.7. MIDI Message Types and Assignments
In this section you find reference information about the MIDI message types provided in the Type
menu and about the several assignments for control elements and for Key Zones.
9.7.1. MIDI Message Types – Type Menu
For all control elements, the assignment definition starts with the same menu: the Type menu.
The Type drop-down menu specifies the type of MIDI message that has to be sent upon action on
this control element. Depending on the type of control element, the entries in this menu will differ
(for example, sending a “play” command from a knob wouldn’t make much sense).
All other parameters displayed in the Definition area depend both on the type of control element
that you are working on, and on the type of MIDI message selected in this Type menu.
Below is a list of all possible MIDI message types to be found in the Type menu.
• Control Change: Sends MIDI Control Change messages on a specific MIDI channel set by the
Channel parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). This message changes the value of a
specific continuous controller of the MIDI destination — controlling for example some effect’s
depth in your music application. The continuous controller (CC) number is specified via the
Number parameter (range from 0 to 127). The values to be sent for that controller are specified
in various ways, depending on the type of the selected control element (see next sections).
• Program Change: Sends MIDI Program Change messages on a specific MIDI channel set by
the Channel parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). This message switches to another
program (or patch, preset…) of the MIDI destination. The program number to be sent can be
specified in various ways, depending on the type of the selected control element (see next sec-
tions).
• Note: Sends MIDI Note On/Off messages on a specific MIDI channel set by the Channel pa-
rameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). These messages start and stop MIDI notes specified
by the Note parameter (range from C-2 to G8), at a velocity set by the Value parameter (range
from 0-127).
• Pitchbend: Sends MIDI pitchbend messages on a specific MIDI channel set by the Channel
parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). This message changes the pitch of the MIDI
notes sent on the same MIDI channel. Depending on the MIDI destination, it can also be used
to control other parameters.
• Off: Deactivates MIDI for the control element. Select this entry to disable the control element or
action. The control element/action does not send any MIDI message, hence no parameter is
displayed.
