Akai MAX25 appendix Touch Faders, Switches, Value

Touch Faders

Type: The type of event that will be sent. The available settings are Aft (Aftertouch), MIDI CC, Inc/Dec1 (Increment/Decrement, Mode 1), Inc/Dec2 (Increment/Decrement, Mode 2), Mackie, and HUI.

MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel data is sent. The available settings are Common, USB A1-A16, and USB B1-B16.

CCNumber: If MIDI CC is the selected Type, this determines the MIDI CC. The available range is 000 – 127.

MIDI to DIN: Determines whether or not MIDI data is sent to the MIDI OUT (On) or not (Off). MIDI data will be sent to MAX25's USB connection regardless of this setting.

Mode: This determines how the fader will act when touched:

•Absolute: Touching the fader will cause it to jump immediately to that position. This mode is only available when the Type is set to Aftertouch or MIDI CC. Holding [SHIFT] while moving a fader puts the fader in Relative2 Mode, which will give you finer control.

•Relative: Sliding your finger upward or downward along the fader will cause its setting to move upward or downward (regardless of your finger's absolute position on the fader).

•Relative2: This mode behaves like Relative Mode but with a finer resolution, allowing for more precise adjustment. This mode is only selectable in this menu when the Type is set to Aftertouch or MIDI CC. When a fader is in Relative Mode, you can manually put the faders in Relative2 Mode by holding [SHIFT] and sliding your finger along it.

Min / Max: If Aftertouch is the selected Type, these determine the lowest (Min) and highest (Max) values. (If Min is higher than the Max, the fader's polarity will be reversed.)

Msb / Lsb: If Inc/Dec1 is the selected Type, these determine the MSB (Most Significant Bit) and LSB (Least Significant Bit). The available range is 000 – 127.

Value:

•If Inc/Dec1 is the selected Type, this determines the value sent by an Increment (CC#96) or Decrement (CC#97) message. The available range is 000 – 127.

•If Mackie or HUI is the selected Type, this determines what the fader will control using that protocol. The available settings are Fader 1-8, V-pot 1-8, and Master Level (Mackie only).

S-Switches

Type: The type of event that will be sent. The available settings are Note, CC#000-127, ProgramChange, ProgramBank, MackieControl, and HUI.

MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel data is sent. The available settings are Common, USB A1-A16, and USB B1-B16.

Note#: If Note is the selected Type, this assigns the note number.

Velo: If Note is the selected Type, this assigns the velocity. The available range is 000-127.

Mode: If Note, CC#000-127, Mackie, or HUI is the selected Type, this determines whether it is in Toggle or Momentary Mode.

Invert: If CC#000-127 is the selected Type, the S-switches send 000 as the "off" value and 127 as the "on" value. This determines whether the values sent are normal (Off), as described above, or switched/inverted (On).

Program Number / Pgm: If ProgramChange or ProgramBank is the selected Type, this determines the Program number. The available range is 000 – 127.

Msb / Lsb: If ProgramChange or ProgramBank is the selected Type, these determine the MSB (Most Significant Bit) and LSB (Least Significant Bit). The available range is 000 – 127.

MIDI to DIN: Determines whether or not MIDI data is sent to the MIDI OUT (On) or not (Off). MIDI data will be sent to MAX25's USB connection regardless of this setting.
