Controller
This Trigger Option uses MIDI CC (Continuous Controller) messages to select
(“trigger”) articulations for use.
To define a controller, click in the
CONTROLLER NUMBER
FIELD
and enter a number be-
tween 0 and 127, or use the up and down arrows to increment through the value range.
Next, define the minimum and maximum value range that the
controller will respond to by entering them into the
CONTROLLER
VALUE
FIELDS
For example, the ‘1 - Modulation Wheel’ controller is entered
into the
CONTROLLER NUMBER
FIELD
for each of the 3 articulations below, and each is
assigned unique value ranges (0-42, 43-87, and 88-127 respectively) in their
CONTROLLER VALUE
FIELDS
. That way, each instrument will only playback when the Mod
Wheel is within its assigned value range.
Velocity
This Trigger Option uses MIDI Note Velocity values to select (“trigger”) articulations
for use. MIDI Note Velocity, Note Velocity, or just Velocity refers to how hard or soft
you play a MIDI controller’s keys or pads, which is translated
into values between 1 (softest) and 127 (hardest).
An example that illustrates this in a practical sense is to load a
long, sustained instrument, and a short, accented instrument.
Then, restrict the
CONTROLLER VALUE
FIELDS
of the short instrument
between 110 (minimum) and 127 (maximum) so that a short note accent will play
at higher velocities (between those assigned values).
