9.8 MIDI Message Types and Assignments
In this section you find reference information about the MIDI message types provided in the
Type menu and about the several assignments for control elements and for Key Zones.
9.8.1 MIDI Message Types – Type Menu
For all control elements, the assignment definition starts with the same menu: the Type menu.
The
Type drop-down menu specifies the type of MIDI message that has to be sent upon action
on this control element. Depending on the type of control element, the entries in this menu
will differ (for example, sending a “play” command from a knob wouldn’t make much sense).
All other parameters displayed in the Definition area depend both on the type of control ele-
ment that you are working on, and on the type of MIDI message selected in this
Type menu.
Below is a list of all possible MIDI message types to be found in the Type menu.
▪ Control Change: Sends MIDI Control Change messages on a specific MIDI channel set by
the Channel parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). This message changes the value
of a specific continuous controller of the MIDI destination — controlling for example some
effect’s depth in your music application. The continuous controller (CC) number is speci-
fied via the
Number parameter (range from 0 to 127). The values to be sent for that con-
troller are specified in various ways, depending on the type of the selected control element
(see next sections).
▪ Program Change: Sends MIDI Program Change messages on a specific MIDI channel set by
the
Channel parameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). This message switches to anoth-
er program (or patch, preset…) of the MIDI destination. The program number to be sent
can be specified in various ways, depending on the type of the selected control element
(see next sections).
▪ Note: Sends MIDI Note On/Off messages on a specific MIDI channel set by the Channel pa-
rameter (range from 1 to 16, 1 by default). These messages start and stop MIDI notes
specified by the
Note parameter (range from C-2 to G8), at a velocity set by the Value pa-
rameter (range from 0-127).
