9.7.2. 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 element to set
the new Control Change value relative 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 Resolu-
tion 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 differ-
ence 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 defines the increment to
use, and a Resolution parameter adjusts the sensitivity of the control element to your actions.
9.7.3. Assignments for Switch Pedals
For Pedals used as switch, 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 Value Mode Value Range Value Number Step Wrap
Control Change Toggle/Gate Off/On 0-127 0-127
Trigger 0 - 127 0-127
Inc Min/Max (0-127) -128 to 127 On/Off
Program Change Toggle/Gate Off/On 0-127
Trigger 0 - 127
Inc Min/Max 0-127 -128 to 127 On/Off
