Editing Programs: Chapter 6

Tip: The Tracking Generator can be used to turn a variable control, such as the Mod Wheel or velocity, into a switch by setting all of the points to 0 except for point 10. Only near the maximum input will anything other than 0 come out of the Tracking generator. You can patch the Mod Wheel somewhere else in addition to the Tracking Generator, giving you gradual control of one function with the full range of the Mod Wheel, while switching on a second function only at the top of the wheel.

However, the Tracking Generator interpolates between steps; this is sort of like playing “connect the dots.” In other words, the Tracking Generator does not step directly from one point to the next, but ramps from point to point.
