The
Type
menu offers the following entries:
Note
,
Control Change
,
Poly Pressure
(default set-
ting),
Channel Pressure
,
Pitchbend
(very useful for bending the tuning of sounds by pressure!),
and
Off
.
For a general description of these MIDI message types, see
The types Control Change, Poly Pressure, Channel Pressure, and Pitchbend provide the same
parameters as with knobs: two numeric fields labeled
Range From
and
To
define the min and
max values of the interval, respectively. Both numeric fields go from 0 to 127 (by default, 0
for the min and 127 for the max), except for the type Pitchbend, for which they go from -1.00
to 1.00.
If the values set in the
Range From
and
Range To
fields are equal, they turn red to indi-
cate a possible mistake when entering the values!
For the type Note, you have instead following parameters:
▪
Value: Sets the velocity of the note to be played.
▪
Threshold Off and On: Define the pressure threshold above (below) which the Note On (Off)
message is sent. The
Threshold Off
value should always be smaller than the
Threshold On
value (have you ever considered stopping a note before playing it?). Both parameters range
from 0 % to 100 % (as a ratio with the maximum pressure).
As you can see, the settings for the Press action on a pad are quite similar to those of the usu-
al knobs. Here is a list of the differences:
▪
The Note type is added — and, for that, the on and off thresholds are needed.
▪
Program Change is not available because it would not be controllable.
25.6.7 Assignments for Digital Encoders
With “encoder” we mean a rotary, virtually continuous control element characterized by an
endless range.
The assignments described here are valid for following control elements:
