Switch Type (Type)
The parameters for switch controllers are slightly different from those for continuous controllers.
The first parameter is Type. The choices available are Momentary in which a switch’s action lasts
only as long as you are pushing it, and Toggle , in which the switch’s action lasts until you press it
again.
Momentary mode is used for functions like sustain or portamento, while Toggle mode is used for
functions such as arpeggiator on/off. The buttons show which mode they are in by the behavior
of their lights: if a button is in Momentary mode, its light glows only as long as you are holding it,
while if it is in Toggle mode, the light stays on until you press it again. Bear in mind that button
assignments are independent per zone, and since there’s just a single light per button, the light
shows the state of the button only for the current zone. When you press the button, however, it
executes its assignments for all zones that use that button.
On Control (OnControl)
OnControl determines what MIDI Controller or other message will be sent when the switch is
on—that is, either pressed and held or toggled from the off position. The list of available
controllers on page 7-21 is the same as for the continuous controllers, and can be accessed the
same way.
Off Control (OffControl)
OffControl determines what MIDI Controller or other message will be sent when the switch is
off—that is, either unpressed or toggled from the on position. The list of available controllers on
page 7-21 is the same as for the continuous controllers, and can be accessed the same way.
OnValue
OnValue sets the value of the Controller when the switch is on. In the case of conventionally
switched functions, such as sustain, the OnValue will be 127 . (For example, the default for
Footswitch 1 is Controller 64 — Sustain — with an On Value of 127 .) However, you might want
to use a button or pedal as a “soft” switch, in which case you might set OnControl to 7 (Volume)
and OnValue to 50 , and OffControl to 7 and OffValue to 127 . OnControl and OffControl can also
both be set to Off , so that turning on the switch has no effect at all in this zone. This can be useful
when you are using one switch for multiple functions in different zones.
OffValue
OffValue is the value of the Controller when the switch is off. The default value is 0 . You might
want to change this, as in the “soft switch” example above: in order to bring the zone up to full
volume when you release the pedal, set OffValue to 127 .
Entry (Ent) and Exit States
Entry State determines whether an initial setting for the switch will be sent when the setup is
selected. There are three choices: None (no change), Off (the Off value), and On (the On value).
With a Panel Switch button, if the Entry State is On , the button will light as soon as you select the
setup.
Exit State similarly determines whether a setting for the switch will be sent when you leave the
setup, either for another setup or for Program mode. The same three choices ( On , Off , and None )
are available. This is very useful for turning off sustains when changing setups.
