4.2.2.2. Hold Button
• MicroLab's Hold button can be configured to work as an on/off switch ("toggle")
or a momentary switch ("gate") through the
Option
drop-down menu.
Toggle
means that you must press the Hold button once to engage sustain mode and
press it again to switch it off.
Gate means that sustain mode is active when you
are pressing it and that it is immediately switched off the instant you release the
button. You can select what method works best for you.
4.2.2.3. Pitch Strip
• The
Mode
drop-down menu lets you switch MicroLab's Pitch strip on or off. The
default
Pitch Bend setting means the strip will operate as a pitch bend controller.
Set this to
Off you would like to deactivate the strip.
•
Option
menu lets you set how the Pitch strip behaves upon release. A traditional
pitch bend wheel (found on many synthesizers and MIDI Controllers) is normally
spring-loaded so it will snap back to its center position when released. The
default
Standard option on MicroLab does exactly this—when you release the
touch strip, the pitch control returns to the middle position in your software. If
you would prefer the Pitch strip to maintain its position when you remove your
finger from the pitch strip, set this to
Hold.
•
Channel
lets you select an output MIDI channel for the Pitch strip. Note that by
selecting
1-16, you set the Pitch strip's output MIDI channel explicitly and this
does not have to be same as the MicroLab keyboard's output MIDI channel (for
example, keyboard can be on channel 1 but Pitch strip on channel 3). It is also
possible to have the Pitch strip "follow" whatever MIDI channel the keyboard is
using by selecting
Keyboard from the drop-down menu.
