10.9.1.2. User Knob Acceleration

There are four response curves for the encoders:

Slow (Off):

the encoders transmit every value. It takes more turns of an encoder

to move from minimum to maximum. Use this when greater precision is desired.

Medium:

when turned quickly the encoders will skip a few values. It takes fewer

turns of an encoder to move from minimum to maximum.

Fast 1:

when turned quickly the encoders will skip a few more values. It may take

as few as 1-1/2 turns of an encoder to move from minimum to maximum.

Fast 2:

maximum acceleration; when turned quickly the encoders will skip even

more values. Parameter values can change from minimum to maximum in the

least number of encoder turns (usually only one), but there will be less precision

when the encoder is turned at a moderate speed.

: Each encoder can be set to its own Acceleration value (see

Set Encoder range for a MIDI CC [p.113]

).

One of the values available there is “User”, and all encoders set to that value can have their Acceleration
setting changed at the same time by changing the User Knob Acceleration parameter here.

10.9.1.3. Pad Poly Aftertouch

This setting will allow each pad to send an independent Aftertouch value, even on the

same MIDI channel as the other pads. Check the specifications the target device to confirm

whether it is capable of responding to Polyphonic Aftertouch. If it is, this is a powerfully

expressive way to control that device.

But it also will generate a lot of extra MIDI data, so route your devices accordingly.

10.9.1.4. Scene Mode

Scene Mode [p.82]

is described in detail in the

Control mode [p.79]

chapter. Use the drop-

down menu to enable or disable this feature.

10.9.1.5. Seq1 Velocity Scaling

This parameter makes it possible for you to adjust the voltage range for the Sequencer 1

VELO CV output. All MIDI velocity values of 0-127 will be represented, but the voltage for the

velocity values will be different depending on the value you select here. Range: 1-10, with 10

providing the maximum voltage range (up to 11 Volts).

10.9.1.6. Seq2 Velocity Scaling

This parameter makes it possible for you to adjust the voltage range for the Sequencer 2

VELO CV output. All MIDI velocity values of 0-127 will be represented, but the voltage for

each velocity value will be different depending on the value you select here. Range: 1-10,

with 10 providing the maximum voltage range (up to 11 Volts).
