ECS / MIDI Learn
The ECS (Easy Controller Setup) section makes it simple to control the Element P from an
external MIDI controller. All you have to do is switch on the ECS (a menu pops up when
you click at the ECS letters, choose Learn), select a Element P parameter with the mouse
and then send some MIDI messages to the Element P from you MIDI source. That's all
there is to it!
From now on you can change the parameter with that controller.
In addition to this, more than one controller can be defined to change a particular
parameter. In fact, you can define up to 128 parameter-controller-combinations. This does
not depend on the type of controller you have nor the particular MIDI Control Change
messages it sends.
Don't forget to switch off the ECS (pick Off from the menu) after you have finished using it
(the ECS button remains red during ECS activity as a reminder)!
ECS settings can be saved and restored using the "Load" and "Save" functions from the
menu. In addition, a single controller assignment can be cleared using the "Clear" menu
entry. All you have to do is select Clear and select a controls that you wish to be cleared
(deassigned from MIDI CC's). Don't forget to switch off the ECS control after you have
finished clearing assignments!
The “Clear All” function clears all controller assignments at once and the Rest.Fact.
Function means Restore Factory, thus restoring the factory settings as described below.
The following MIDI-CC-parameter-assignments are automatically set up on start-up of
Element P. Of course, the assignments can be replaced with your own preferences using
the Clear / Learn function.
