Descriptions of Parameters
Setup Editor Parameters
If the value of SwType is
Toggle
, the controller sends a MIDI Controller message with a
programmable value (typically 127 or On) when you depress the controller (turning it on);
depressing the controller again sends another programmable value (typically 0 or Off). When
Buttons
SW1
Ð
SW5
are programmed to be toggle switches, the LEDs light when you turn them
on, and go out when you turn them off.
On Controller (On Ctrl)
Determines the MIDI Controller message that the controller sends when you turn it on. When
you set a value for this parameter, the PC2 automatically assigns the same value to Off Ctrl.
On Value
Sets the value of the MIDI Controller message sent by the controller when you turn it on. The
value for all zones in the default setup is 127 or On. You can set any value from 0 to 127, but in
most cases, 127 is the most useful. You can also set a value of
None
, in which case the controller
sends no message. This is useful when you want the controller to do something in one zone but
not in another (although it probably makes more sense to set a value of
None
for On Ctrl).
Off Controller (Off Ctrl)
Determines the MIDI Controller message that the controller sends when you turn it off.
Off Value
Sets the value of the MIDI Controller message sent by the controller when you turn it off. The
value for all zones in the default setup is 0 or Off. You can set any value from 0 to 127, but in
most cases, 0 is the most useful. You can also set a value of
None
, in which case the controller
sends no message. This is useful when you want the controller to do something in one zone but
not in another (although it probably makes more sense to set a value of
None
for On Ctrl).
Entry State
Determines what MIDI Controller message, if any, the controller sends when you select the
setup. If the value is
None
, the controller sends no message. If the value is
On
, the controller
sends a message according to its settings for On Ctrl and On Value. If the value is
Off
, the
controller sends a message according to its settings for Off Ctrl and Off Value.
Exit State
Determines what MIDI Controller message, if any, the controller sends when you leave the
setup, by selecting either a different setup or a different performance mode. If the value is
None
,
the controller sends no message. If the value is
On
, the controller sends a message according to
its settings for On Ctrl and On Value. If the value is
Off
, the controller sends a message
according to its settings for Off Ctrl and Off Value.
Switch-Button Priority
When youÕre in MIDI Setups modeÑthat is, performing and not editingÑthe switch buttons
(
SW1
Ð
SW5
) function according to the zone you see in the display. This prevents the conßicts
that otherwise would almost certainly occur. For example, suppose youÕve programmed
SW1
to
be a momentary switch in Zone 1 of a setup, and to be a toggle switch in Zone 2. When youÕre
playing that setup,
SW1
canÕt be both types of switch at the same time, so it makes sense to have
it function according to the assignments of the current zone (you might be soloing that zone, for
example).
