Controller 40 (13Note / Note #) and Switch or Fixed
Controllers
You can send Controller 40 from a Switch or Fixed Controller, in
which case its name is Note # (instead of 13Note). The On value
is the note on and the Off value is the note off. To avoid
unpredictable results, you should set the On value and the Off
value to the same note number.
Velocity is determined by the CCNoteVel parameter or the
NotVel controller. The value of CCNoteVel will be used until a
NotBel controller is sent.
Note Offset (NotOfs)
This offsets the pitches of all Note Controllers in a Zone. A value
of 64 sets the Controller to its normal range. If you want to shift
the pitch up one octave (12 semitones) send a NotOfs value of 76
(= 64 + 12). To transpose down one octave, send a value of 52 (=
64-12).
HereÕs a more detailed example. Say youÕve set the RibbonÕs
Destination in Zone 1 to 13Note, but you want the notes to start
on F4 and continue up to F5. In Zone 1, set SW1Õs On and Off
Destinations to NotOfs, its On Value to 69, its Off Value to 64, and
its Mode to Toggle. Now pressing SW1 will send the NotOfs
value, and 13Note will send MIDI notes 65-77 (F4ÐF5). The
button will stay on so that you can use two hands to play notes.
When you turn the button off, 13Note moves back down to its
normal range (C4ÐC5).
Note Velocity (NotVel)
NotVel sets the key velocity for all Note Controllers in a Zone.
For instance, you might be using the Ribbon in Zone 1 to play
notes, but you need the notes to play more loudly or softly in
certain sections of a tune. You could set NotVel as the On and Off
Destinations for a Panel Switch. You could then set the switchÕs
On Value to 127 (full velocity), and its Off Value to something like
50 or 60. That way, you can switch between two dynamic levels.
If you want to vary the velocities as you play, try this: Go to Zone
1, and set Rbn Split to 3-SECT. Next, set Rbn 1Õs Destination to a
Note Controller, and Rbn 2Õs Destination to NotVel. Then you can
play notes with one hand, and change velocities with the other. If
