the message. For example, if you want to make sure that the program in Zone 1 of a setup is
panned to the left whenever you select the setup, assign a physical controller in Zone 1 of that
setup to send MIDI Controller 10, then set an Entry Value of
0
for that controller.
Entry values ignore the current position of the physical controller when you select the program
or setup. In fact, if the physical controller is above or below the entry value when you select the
program or setup, moving the controller has no effect until you move it past its entry value. In
the panning example above, moving the controller wonÕt change the panning until you move it
all the way down, then back up at least partially.
Setting Entry Value to
None
is different from setting it to
0
.
None
means that thereÕs no initial
controller command when you select the program or setup, but youÕll notice the effect as soon as
you move the controller.
Exit Value
Enables a controller to send a MIDI Controller message of a speciÞc value as soon as you leave a
program or setup, either by selecting another program or setup, or by changing performance
modes. This prevents the position of the controller in the current program or setup from
affecting the next program or setup you select.
For example, suppose you have Slider
A
controlling pan position in Zone 1 of a setup. You have
Slider
A
Õs Exit Value parameter set to
None
for Zone 1. While youÕre playing that setup, you pan
Zone 1 fully left. If you select another setup that doesnÕt have an entry value for pan in Zone 1,
then Zone 1 of the newly-selected setup will also be panned left. The easiest way to prevent this
is to set an exit value of 64 for Slider A in Zone 1. This will return the panning to the center.
In general, if you set an entry value for a controller, itÕs a good idea to set an exit value as well, to
remove that controllerÕs effect when you leave the setup.
The Controllers Menu: Ribbon Controller Parameters
ThereÕs one ribbon parameter thatÕs unique to ribbon section 1, as described below:
Ribbon Section Configuration (Ribbon Sect)
Determines the conÞguration of the optional ribbon controller. A value of
Large
creates a single
section spanning the entire length of the ribbon. A value of
3 Sect.
divides the ribbon into three
sections (sections) of equal length.
Each ribbon section has the following three parameters:
Spring Switch
Controls the ÒmemoryÓ of each section of the optional ribbon controller
for all zones
. When the
value is
On
, the MIDI Controller message sent by the ribbon section ÒspringsÓ back (the MIDI
Controller messageÕs value returns to the value speciÞed by the Spring Pos parameterÑthe way
the Pitch Wheel does on most instruments.
If the value is
Off
, the ribbon section remembers the last value it was sending when you
released the pressure on it. If you use a value of
Off
, we recommend that you also set the ribbon
sectionÕs Exit Value parameter to
0
, so that any lingering values donÕt apply to other setups that
donÕt have entry values for that ribbon section.
