• load to file
load configuration from your computer hard drive.
Eobody3 internal memory configuration
• check current parameters
check the internal memory of Eobody3 unit.
• save current parameters
save current parameters inside the Eobody3 internal memory. Eobody3 has an internal memory to
store parameters settings. You may store an entire installation or performance configuration inside
one or more Eobody3 and keep it (or them) as back-up units for a future use.
• init all parameters
initialize to factory settings.
• revert to save
go back to the configuration saved last.
• all off
disactivate all parameters.
• delay
As USB is very fast, some older computer can have problems to receive the high data flow.
Increasing the de- lay will reduce the data flow. It will make Eobody3 analyse the analogue input
not every scan cycle.
• change name
rename your Eobody3 unit. The new name will be displayed in the section ‘your Eobody name’.
• check name
check the name of the Eobody3 unit you are editing when you are editing more than one.
• print incoming messages
print to screen incoming MIDI messages.
Formatting messages to host
• type
This is one of the most important configuration parameters, since it determines which type of MIDI
message the device is going to send in response to variations in a particular analogue input.
Eobody3 is capable of generating 5 different messages:
• CC: Control number change (Control change) 7 bits CC: Control number change (Control change)
12 bits (the 5 LSB bits are mapped on CC number + 64
• Note: Note on Trigger
• PC: Program change
• PB: Pitch bend (Variation in pitch) real 12 bits • PB: Pitch bend (Variation in pitch) mapped 14
bits
• ATm: Monophonic aftertouch (Channel pressure)
• CC Control Change
This is the type of message, which will likely be most often used for controlling sound parameters.
The value of the analogue signal acts directly upon the value of a MIDI controller, using a MIDI
controller Value Change message (control change). The number of the controller can be set by
users. If 12 bits resolution is selected, this message will actually send two Control Change
messages. The controller specified in the val field will send the 7 least significant bits whilst the
controller specified in the “low” field will send the 3 most significant bits, on the same MIDI
channel.
