3.9.1.1 Participate
There are two “Participate” checkboxes on the right side of Controller Layer’s Sensor Settings,
one for Keyboard Layer and one for Controller Layer. These allow you to isolate specific keys
for controller use only, keyboard use only, or both.
If
Participate in Keyboard Layer
is disabled, the selected key will no longer play its regular
note or contribute to controlling Channel Pressure, Poly After Touch or anything else that might
have been set up in the Keyboard Layer tab. Local LED behavior will also turn off for that key,
meaning the keys will not light up when pressed (it can still receive Remote LED messages and
if Controller Layer Toggle is enabled, the LEDs will still show the toggle state). The Octave
buttons will no longer do anything since they only raise and lower the octave of the notes in
Keyboard Layer.
If
Participate in Controller Layer
is disabled, nothing you do here in Controller Layer will have
an effect on the selected key. Enabling it allows the assigned Note, Toggle CC, Pressure CC,
and Tilt CC numbers to output.
If
both Keyboard Layer and Controller Layer are enabled
, the selected key will send out
everything that you have assigned it here in Controller Layer Tab and also in the Keyboard
Layer Tab. For
Example
: if you turn Channel Pressure on and Pitch Bend set to Tilt in Keyboard
Layer and have all 4 sources on in Controller Layer, then that Key will send out 2 notes,
Channel Pressure, Pitch Bend, and CC values for an additional Pressure, Tilt, and Toggle
source. Controller Layer assignments will not increment or decrement when using the -Oct+
buttons. Neither will they Rotate Channels if Channel Rotation is enabled in Keyboard Layer.
3.9.1.2 Controller Layer Sources
Now it is established that it is necessary to enable “Participate in Controller Layer” for any keys
you wish to assign Controller Layer Notes or CC#s to. Controller Layer has 4 sources of its own
that can be assigned per key: Notes, Toggles, Pressure and Tilt. Use the
Note Number
,
Toggle
CC
,
Pressure CC
, and
Tilt CC
number boxes to set which Note number or CC number the
selected key will use for each source. Setting these number boxes to “-1” will turn the sources
off.
Under the Pressure and Tilt CC number boxes are the
Pressure CC
Return
and the
Tilt CC Return
number boxes. These set what
values the Pressure and Tilt CC#s will return to when released. So if
the Tilt CC Return box is set to 63, when you release the key the tilt
source will go to 63. Tilt and Pressure can also latch; if the Return
boxes are set to “-1” (“latch”), then they will stay at the value when
they are released.
Specify Controller Layer’s Note Velocity with the
Note
Velocity
Number box. Set this number
box to “-1” (“var”) to turn velocity response on and allow it to vary depending on pressure.
