ARTURIA – B-3 V – USER MANUAL 16
In the case of drawbars which have nine different positions the same rule
applies but instead of splitting the controller range into two or three it is split
into nine.
The final option in this window is a button labelled “Is relative”. If you switch this
on for any MIDI assignment, the movement you make with the physical control
(such as a knob) will pick up the software parameter at its current setting and
change if from there rather than being an “absolute” control and snapping it
back to zero as soon as you start to move it. This can be a good idea when
assigning controls to things like volume or effect pedal controls, since you won’t
usually want them to jump massively out of their current setting as soon as you
start to modify them.
3.2.10.1 Reserved MIDI CC numbers
Certain MIDI Continuous Controller (MIDI CC) numbers are reserved and
cannot be reassigned to other controls. These are:
 Ctrl All Notes Off (CC #123)
All other MIDI CC numbers may be used to control any assignable parameter
in B-3 V.
3.2.11 MIDI controller configuration
There’s a small arrow at the far right hand side of the toolbar that deals with
MIDI controller configurations. This allows you to manage different sets of MIDI
maps that you may have set up for controlling the instrument’s parameters
from MIDI hardware. You can copy the current MIDI assignment setup or delete
it, import a configuration file or export the currently active one. This can be
used to quickly set up different hardware MIDI keyboards or controllers with B-
