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.

TIP: If your DATA 2 (MIN) value is greater than the DATA 3 (MAX) value, your control will work in “reverse.” In other words, turning the control clockwise will cause the MIDI

CCoutput data to decrease while turning counter- clockwise will cause the CC output to increase. This is useful in certain situations such as when you wish to use a slider like a drawbar on an organ. For standard operation, make sure your DATA 3 (MAX) value is higher than DATA 2 (MIN).
