ARTURIA – MiniLab – USER’S MANUAL 33
 The Min / LSB and Max / MSB fields are set in such a way as to limit Encoder 5 to
operation only within a certain range.
To summarize, the settings seen above mean that Encoder 5 will control the Vibrato Rate
of the target device, sweeping it between the values of 10 and 32 only. The vibrato will
not become too fast, nor will it become too slow.
Naturally you can choose settings that are appropriate for the MIDI device you are using.
Note: Some devices may not use standard MIDI controller assignments. Refer to the
documentation for your device to determine what settings to use for each purpose.
5.1.6 Assign the Mod strip to Aftertouch
Another cool thing about having such a flexible, powerful controller is having the ability
to experiment with non-standard assignments for the hardware. For example, rather
than using the Mod strip to control Modulation, why not take advantage of its ability to
control Aftertouch?
And by control, we mean control. One of the physical limitations of standard Aftertouch
implementation in a keyboard is that you have to keep consistent pressure on the keys
or else it fluctuates, goes too far, and/or goes away altogether. With MIDI Control Center
you can assign the Mod strip to bring in Aftertouch either gradually or instantly, and then
have the value you choose stay chosen until you touch the Mod strip again.
What follows is a walk-through on how to do all of the things mentioned above.
Note: The receiving device determines which parameter is affected by incoming
Aftertouch messages.
5.1.6.1 Select the Mod strip
Touch the Mod strip to select it as the control to be edited. Its graphic will be highlighted
in the MIDI Control Center:
5.1.6.2 Select the Message Type (Mode)
Click on the Mode menu and select Aftertouch as the message type. It’s at the bottom of
the drop-down list:
