Looking at the picture above we see familiar information:
Encoder 5 has been selected.
It is assigned to the Global MIDI channel; you can specify
any MIDI channel from 1-16 or leave it on the Global channel.
Its Mode is set to Continuous, which means it will transmit a MIDI Continuous Controller
number when it is turned.
The second Mode field is set to Absolute, which means it will transmit in a linear fashion
from fully counter-clockwise to fully clockwise.
The CC number field shows
CC# 76, the MIDI CC # that has been assigned to control
Vibrato Rate.
The Min / LSB and Max / MSB fields are set in such a way as to limit Encoder 5 to operation
only within a certain range.
To summarize, the settings seen above mean that Encoder 5 will control the Vibrato Rate
of the target device, sweeping it between the values of 10 and 32 only. The vibrato will not
become too fast, nor will it become too slow.
Naturally you can choose settings that are appropriate for the MIDI device you are using.
Note: Some devices may not use standard MIDI controller assignments. Refer to the
documentation for your device to determine what settings to use for each purpose.
5.1.6 Save the changes to a Preset
So let’s review what we’ve done in section 5.1 so far: The pads have been set up to play
kick and snare, toggle the filter settings, and start / stop the song; one of the encoders is
controlling the vibrato rate, and the Mod strip is controlling Aftertouch. Not bad! There’s a
lot more ORCA PAD 48 can do, but that’s a good start.
