Limiting the Range of the Controls

Normally, the range of a MIDI controller is 0 to 127. In some cases, you may wish to restrict the minimum or maximum limits of this range. A minimum restriction can be placed on knobs, faders, Pitch bend, or Modulation controls by doing the following:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button and move or push the controller that you wish to limit.

2.Press the DATA 2 (MIN) key. The LED will display the current Minimum limit of the controller.

3.Enter the desired minimum value using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons.

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm the entry and exit Program mode.

If you would like to place a maximum limit:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button and move or push the controller that you wish to limit.

2.Press the DATA 3 (MAX) key. The LED will display the current maximum limit of the controller.

3.Enter the desired maximum value using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons.

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm the entry and exit Program mode.

Using Controls to Increment or Decrement Values

Buttons and the pedal can be set to decrement or increment MIDI data values within a defined range and one by one. This is useful if you need precise control over MIDI CC or you would like to use buttons to step forward or backward through programs (using a Program Change message). To do this:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button and push the footswitch or button you wish to modify.

2.Press the CTRL ASGN key.

3.Enter ‘153’ if you’d like to use the control to decrease a value (enter ‘154’ if you’d like to use the control to increase a value).

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

5.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button again, followed by the DATA 1 key.

6.Enter the number of the MIDI CC you want the button to send out.

7.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

8.To define the range minimum, press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button, followed by the DATA 2 (MIN) key.

9.Enter the desired minimum value using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons (e.g. 0).

10.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

11.To define the range maximum, press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button, followed by the DATA 3 (MAX) key.

12.Enter the desired maximum value using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons ((e.g. 127).
