9.1.3. Relative control option
The final option in this window is a check box labelled “Is Relative”. It is intended for use with
a specific type of control: one which sends only a few values to indicate the direction and
speed at which a knob is turning, as opposed to sending a full range of values in a linear
fashion (0-127, for example).
To be specific, a “relative” knob will send values 61-63 when turned in a negative direction
and values 65-67 when turned in a positive direction. The turn speed determines the
parameter response. Refer to the documentation of your hardware controller to see if it
has this capability. If so, be sure to switch this parameter on when setting up its MIDI
assignments.
When configured this way, movements of the physical control (usually a knob) will change
the software parameter by starting at its current setting, rather than being an “absolute”
control and snapping it to some other value as soon as you start to move it. This can be a
great feature when controlling things like volume, filter, or effect controls, since you won’t
usually want them to jump noticeably from their current setting when they are modified.
9.1.4. Reserved MIDI CC numbers
Certain MIDI Continuous Controller (MIDI CC) numbers are reserved and cannot be
reassigned to other controls. These are:
• Pitch bend
• Modulation wheel (CC #01)
• Expression controller (CC #11)
• Sustain (CC #64)
• All Notes Off (CC #123)
• Aftertouch
All other MIDI CC numbers may be used to control any assignable parameter in the CZ V.
