Editing and Creating Setups
Controller Order

you prefer to free up both hands for playing notes, you can assign
NotVel as a Destination for the CC pedal or breath controller in
Zone 1.
If a sound doesnÕt change at all when you send NotVel messages,
make sure that the sound youÕre using responds to velocity. Most
piano and other acoustic instrument sounds should respond by
getting louder or softer. On some instruments, sounds that
imitate synths and organs are programmed to ignore velocity, so
you may need to edit those sounds, if possible.
Note Switch (NoteSw)
NoteSw turns all Note Controllers in a Zone on or off. HereÕs an
example: Go to Zone 1, and set a controllerÕs Destination to
13Note. Then assign SW2Õs On and Off Destinations to NoteSw,
its On Value to 127, its Off Value to 0, and its Mode to Toggle.
Now you can use that switch to enable or disable the playing of
notes from the controller. This parameter does not affect the
ribbon, which is always enabled, because touching the ribbon
does that.
Arpeggiator Controllers
These Destinations control the Arpeggiator parameters: off/on,
latch, glissando, tempo, clocks/beat, note duration, shift amount,
shift limit, transpose, and note velocity. See Chapter 4.
MIDI Message Strings (MMsg1–6)
See page 109 for information about these parameters.
Controller Order
The ExpressionMate sends Controller messages in speciÞc
orders. The Fixed controllers are sent FIX1 Þrst, FIX2 second, and
FIX3 third. All Controller values, including Entry Values, are sent
from Zones 1, 2, and 3, in that order. You canÕt change this, but
you can take advantage of it, as shown in the Program Change
example on page 53.
