With
range
set to
+200
, the external controller’s range corresponds to the full range of
the parameter’s values
(different types of parameters will have different "full ranges")
, which in this case is
from -100 to +100. However, with various settings of
range
, the parameter being
modulated (
knob
in this case), and the external controller doing the modulation, it is
possible to "pin" the parameter being modulated at its minimum or maximum values.
That’s what’s going on in the example to the right.
With the pitch wheel all the way down, the value
of
knob
is 100.
With the pitch wheel all the way up, the value of
knob
is 100! That’s no good.
Adjust the value of the parameter being
modulated to remedy this situation
(see further
examples below)
. In this case you’re going to
manually change the value of
knob
to
0
while
the pitch wheel is idle (at
50%
).
Because you did this and because
range
is set to
+200
, the parameter now "behaves."
See how it behaves? Oh, behave! Behave!
Note: It is also possible to set
range
to a negative value. Doing so allows the value of the parameter being
modulated to decrease while the external controller is increasing.
The
range
describes how the parameter will
respond to the external controller. Smaller values
result in small changes; larger values result in
larger changes. When
type
is set to
absolute
and the external controller is all the way
down, the parameter will take on its minimum value,
0 %
in this case.
When
type
is set to
absolute
and the external
controller is all the way up, the parameter will
take on a value determined by
range
,
66 %
in
this case.
