• Name: Give this Encoder a suitable name.
• Type: Off, Control, or RPN/NRPN.
• CC Number/Option: Depending on if the previous entry is set to CC Number or
RPN/NRPN, you can set MIDI Control Change number or select RPN or NRPN
here.
♪ RPN and NRPN are explained here [p.56].
• MIDI Channel: Set MIDI channel.
• Mode: These are the modes for the Encoders.
◦ Global: Uses the Global setting. This can be overridden by selecting on
of the modes below.
◦ Absolute: The Encoder sends a value between 0 and 127. When
KeyLab mk3 boots, the encoder value is initialized to 0. Turning the
Encoder clockwise increases the value if it's less than 127. Turning the
Encoder counter-clockwise will decrease the value if it is higher than
0.
◦ Relative Main: The Encoder sends a value corresponding to a position
change compared to last known position: +1, +2, –1, or –2 for instance.
Technically, the 0 is coded by the value 64, so a change of +1 will
result in a value of 65. Following this logic, a change of –2 will give a
message with the value 62.
◦ Relative Alt 1: This is identical to
Relative Main
but coded in 7-bits
Two's complement. 0 and the positive values are natural and negative
values are 127 for –1, 126 for –2, 125 for –3 et cetera.
◦ Relative Alt 2: Same coding as
Relative Main
but centered around 16
instead of 64. The 0 is coded by the value 16. A change of +1 will send
a value of 17, and a change of –2 will give a message with the value
14.
• Min/Max Value: When Type is Control, you can set the MIDI CC range here.
or
• MSB/LSB: When Type is RPN/NRPN, you can set LSB and MSB values here.
♪ LSB and MSB are explained here [p.57].
