Limiting the Range of a Knob or Fader
The effective range of values transmitted by knobs and faders can be limited by entering values other than 0
and 127(the default minimum and maximum values) for the Data 2 and Data 3 parameters.
For example, with the Data 2 parameter set to 38 and Data 3 set to 93, if a knob is set fully counter-clockwise,
the minimum value transmitted is 38. If the knob is turned fully clockwise, the maximum value transmitted
is 93. This can be useful in a variety of scenarios, like keeping a knob within the “sweet spot” of a synthesizer
parameter (such as, filter cutoff), or to quickly recall a specific minimum or maximum volume setting for a
track.
The operation of knobs and faders can also be reversed, even if the range of operation is limited. This is
achieved by entering a higher value for the Data 2 parameter and a lower value for the Data 3 parameter.
To configure a knob or fader to operate within a limited range:
1 Select a knob or fader as described earlier.
2 Press the Edit button.
3 Press the Control Assign key. The LCD screen will read “ASIGN” and display the currently selected control
(for example “F1”), and the current MIDI CC assignment (for example “10”).
4 Type 7 using the number keys. This assigns MIDI CC number 7 (Volume) to the control. See Appendix A.
5 Press the Enter key.
6 Press the Edit button.
7 Press the Data 2 key. The LCD screen will read “MIN” and display the currently selected control (for example
“F1”), and the current value (for example “0”).
8 Type 38 using the number keys.
9 Press the Enter key.
10 Press the Edit button.
11 Press the Data 3 key. The LCD screen will read “MAX” and display the currently selected control (for ex-
ample “F1”), and the current value (for example “127”).
12 Type 93 using the number keys.
13 Press the Enter key.
