Editing and Creating Setups

ignored.) It also means that when you select the Setup, the
controllerÕs value will initially be the same as it was in the last
Setup.
Current means that the current position of the control is sent
even though it has not changed. This may be needed as an entry
value if, for example, the previous setup sent the physical
controller to a different MIDI controller than the current setup.
Exit Value
Exit Value tells the ExpressionMate to send a value for that
controller whenever you leave the Setup. It can be very useful
when a controller is doing something special to the sound which
you donÕt want to continue after you leave the Setup. For
example, if you want to make sure a ZoneÕs pitch returns to
normal whenever you leave a Setup, you would give an Exit
Value of 64 to any controller whose Destination is PBend+. Again,
ÒNoneÓ means that no command is sent.
Ribbon Assignment Parameters
This section explains how to change which messages the Ribbon
sends. To change how the Ribbon responds to Þnger movement,
see ÒController EditingÓ on page 28.
The Ribbon assignment parameters let you deÞne controller
assignments for the Ribbon controller. Each Ribbon section
senses movement when you press on it and move your Þnger left
or right. This creates numerous possibilities for controlling pitch,
volume, panning, crossfades between zones, and other uses you
might imagine.
As we mentioned earlier, the Ribbon can be used as a single long
controller, or it can be divided into three separate sections, each
with its own controller assignments. These sections and their
centers are indicated by the smaller arrows above the strip. There
are also arrows directly in the center to give you a visual
indication of the center point when you are using the Ribbon as
one long strip.
Look over the various parameters. Since all the continuous
controllers work in a similar way, CCPD and BRTH have most of
the same parameters.
