Entry Values
You can assign initial values for controllers if necessary. For example, when changing setups
betweensongsatagig,youwanttospecifyinitialsettingsforanycontrollersuchaseffectwet/
dry level or volume setting for each setup. You can activate this feature by setting the Entry
Value parameter to ON. ( See < Figure 5‐6 >. ) The default state is OFF. There are a few
importantpointsyouneedtounderstandaboutEntryValues.

Crossing the Entry Value

ThisisverycommonproblemwithgenericMIDIcontrollers.Toavoidthisproblem,theSP2is
designed so that once you set an entry value for a physical controller, it won’ t become active
untilyoupassthepointoftheentryvalue.So,inthepreviousexample,asyoumoveKnobAup,
nothing happens until you reach 95. At that point, the sliders begins to send MIDI controller
message.
Avoid Extra Controller Motion
