Next we'll set some minimum and maximum values
that might work (adjust them to suit the audio
source):
The first press of Pad 6 will send a CC# 74
command with a value of 78, which will close the
filter down part way but still let a lot of the audio
pass through. The second press of Pad 6 will send a
value of 127, opening the filter completely.
Note:
Be sure to check the MIDI Channel assignment to
make sure it matches that of the receiving device.
ASSIGNING AN ENCODER TO CONTROL
A MIDI CC# BETWEEN TWO VALUES
The encoders are assignable using the same
techniques described for the pads. Here is an
example of how this can be used: setting the rate
of an LFO so it operates only within a certain range.
In the picture above, Encoder 5 has been selected,
so it is shown in red.
The photo shows that it has been assigned to the
Global MIDI channel. You can specify any MIDI
channel from 1-16 or leave it on the Global channel.
Its Mode is set to Continuous, which means it will
transmit a MIDI Continuous Controller number
when it is turned.
The second Mode field is set to Absolute, which
means it will transmit in a linear fashion from fully
counter-clockwise to fully clockwise.
The CC number field shows CC# 76, the MIDI CC#
that has been assigned to control Vibrato Rate.
The Min/LSB and Max/MSB fields are set in such a
way as to limit Encoder 5 to operate only within a
certain range.
To summarise, the settings seen in the picture 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.
