4.1.1 Sending Notes
Temporary Mode
When Xjam is programmed to work in temporary mode, which it is by default, Note
ON messages will be sent when pressing the pad and Note OFF messages will be
sent when releasing the pad.
During the time when a pad is kept pressed, it will illuminate with a specific color
changing from green, when the pad is pressed with a rather soft velocity from 1 to
63, to yellow at a medium of 64 to 99. The pad gets illuminated red, when touched
with a quite hard velocity, ranging from 100 to 127.
If the pad is pushed and held, Channel After Touch or Channel Pressure messages
can be send, depending on the settings made in 5.3.6 SETUP After Touch Settings.
Toggle Mode
When in Toggle mode Note ON messages are sent when the pad is pressed,
releasing the pad will not produce any MIDI message.
A Note OFF message will be sent pressing the same pad again.
When a Note ON message has been sent the pad will illuminate yellow until the pad
is pressed again to send the Note OFF message. If Note Toggle is applied ist has
impact on all pads.
4.1.2 Sending Control Changes
The pads can send MIDI CCs in two ways:
ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE
When a pad s programmed to send Control Changes in ABSOLUTE mode it will
send a value of 127 for the selected CC# when the pad is pressed and a value of 0
on the same CC when the pad is released.
