Tab. 4.2: Assignment of the push encoders in EDIT mode (CONTINUOUS types)

Table explanation:

All settings in the EDIT mode are made by turning the push encoders. Pressing the push encoder displays its current value. In addition, the setting options depend on whether the selected control element is a SWITCH type or CONTINUOUS type.

In the EDIT mode, Push Encoder 1 selects (by turning) the type of command assigned to a control element.

With Push Encoder 2, select a MIDI channel through which that control element’s data is sent.

Push Encoders 3 - 5 set parameters and values for the selected MIDI type. They vary depending on the MIDI function. More details about this subject can be found later in this chapter.

Push Encoder 6 (Controller Mode) selects how the previously selected control element behaves, depending on whether it is a SWITCH or a CONTINUOUS type.

CONTINUOUS-type elements:

CONTINUOUS-type element controls are divided into “Absolute,” “Absolute (14 bit),” “Relative 1” (2nd complement), “Relative 2” (binary offset), “Relative 3” (MSB, most significant bit), “Relative 1 (14 bit),” “Relative 2 (14 bit),” “Relative 3 (14 bit)” and “Increment/Decrement.” Absolute means absolute data values although jumps may occur when changing values. With Relative, the current parameter value is continued independently from the position of the control. Absolute (14-Bit) or one of the

Relative (14-Bit) modes are standard modes for value changes at NRPNs with high resolution. This is necessary with some software mixers if more than 128 steps are needed. Increment/ Decrement serves as a step-by-step increase or decrease of values by using the Data Increment/Decrement commands (see list 5.1 in the appendix).

+The classic controler mode for most applications is “absolute”. All other modes have to be supported by the MIDI software or the device to be controlled.

Using Push Encoder 7, you can adjust how control elements display information. Depending on whether you are dealing with an encoder, push encoder, fader or foot pedal, there are different options available:

LED display of the push encoders:

OFF The LED circle remains off.

1d (1 digit): Only one LED lights up (standard setting).

1d- The LED circle operates similar to “1d”, but when the value is 0, no LED lights up.

2d The display of the LED circles occurs in two stages. If you slowly turn the encoder from left to right, at first only one LED lights up, and then the next LED lights up while the previous LED goes out, and so on. This way, even the slightest value changes can be accurately represented.
