REGELWERK V1.2

In the String- Editor window, a template
appears, which starts off looking like this:-

000|__,__,__,__>


XXX<,aa,bb,cc,dd>

At any one time you can see the hex-strings

for four bytes, in hexadecimal notation.

Position XXX = aa, XXX+1 = bb, XXX+2 =

cc, XXX+3 = dd.

Use the (Inc/Dec.) buttons to scroll

backwards and forwards within the template.
The symbols appear, to show if there are
further positions available to the left or right.
When the end is reached, the symbol ‘|’
replaces < or >.

The byte in position 'aa' is always the one

which can be edited.

At present the maximum length is 30 bytes.

(In future software versions it could be higher)

In all cases, to enter a string, the length must

first be defined.

Any positions which lie outside this defined

length are shown as either _ or 00.


For example:
If the string is going to be three bytes long :

Scroll to position 3

Turn the alpha dial until

‘ ..; ’

appears. The OK LED should blink.

Press OK.

This causes you to leave the fader edit menu,

and you need to re-enter to produce the
correct string!

The value that has been chosen for editing

can now be scrolled to, using the buttons,
and when it is in the 'aa' position, it can be
edited using the alpha dial.

Some bytes which aren't part of standard

MIDI are reserved for internal

REGELWERK

functions, and are shown by the symbols ‘..;’
or ‘>>‘.

The first MIDI data byte 'XX' is entered into

the incomplete string, to set the fader value.

To enter strings in the editor, it is advisable

first of all to write the string out on paper, and
then to enter it carefully, with reference to
your notes. Otherwise it's very easy to lose
one's place. The current software version
doesn't have any insert or delete function, so
it can be extremely time-consuming to
correct a mistake in a string.


9.4.4 Fader Parameters


As well as the basic fader event information,
some further parameters often need to be set.

LowerVal: 0-127

UpperVal: 0-127

The standard fader response goes from a

minimum value of 0 (with the fader right
down) to a maximum value of 127 (with the
fader right up).

These values can be changed if required, to

produce any other fader response
characteristic you might want – reversed, if
you feel like it.

These related values 0,127 are accessed

separately, so that no conversion is needed,
and the proces is actually faster. There's no
need to change the default value of either,
unless you have a specific need to.


Actmode:Immediate/Relative/Catch

This determines the way the actual fader

position relates to the value output by it....

... and / or the difference between the fader

position and the actual value.

Immediate: -> The fader position = value.

Relative: -> The fader position is added to

the existing value to create the output value.

Catch: -> A new value is only output once

the fader has been moved so that it goes
through ('catches') the existing value.

Threshold:
