Entry (Ent) and Exit Values
EntryvalueallowsyoutospecifyaninitialvalueforacontrollerinaSetupthatwillbesent
wheneveryousel ectthatSetup.Forexample,ifyouwanttomakesurethatallofthe
modulationforthePrograminaZoneisturnedoffwhenyouselecta
Setup,usetheSetup
EditortoassignaphysicalcontrollertoadestinationofMIDI01(MWheel)andsetEntryValue
to0.(TheModWheelisusuallyassignedtodestinationMIDI01MWheel,whichisusedto
controlamodulationparameterformostPrograms.)
Entryvaluesignorethecurrentposition
ofthephysicalcontrollerwhenthesetupisselected .By
default,oncetheSetupisloadedandtheentryvalueshavebeensent,movingacontrollerwill
instantlysendnewcontrollervalues.Thiscancauseajumpinvaluesifthecontrollerhappensto
besettoavaluefar
fromitsentryvalue.Toavoidthesejumps,changetheSetupCtlsparameter
inMasterModetoPassEntry(seeSetupControllers(SetupCtls) on page 7‐2fordetails.)With
SetupCtlssettoPassEntry,movingthecontrollerwillhavenoeffectuntilitmovespastitsentry
value.Inthiscase,continuingthemodulationexample
above,movingtheassigned controller
won’tturnonanymodulationuntilit’spushedallthewaydown(passingentryvalue0,)and
thenupagain.
AnentryvalueofNoneisquitedifferentfromavalueof0.Nonemeansthattherewillbeno
initialcontrollercommandwhenthesetup
isselected,andanysubsequentmovementofthe
physicalcontrollerwillbeeffective.
ExitValuetellsthePC3tosendavalueforthatcontrollerwheneveryouleavethesetup,either
byselectinganothersetuporbyselectingadifferentmodealtogether.Itcanbeveryusefulwhen
acontrolleris
doingsomethingtothesound,andyoudon’twantthateffecttocontinueafteryou
leavethesetup.Forexample,ifyouwanttomakesureazone’spitchreturnstonormal
wheneveryouleaveasetup,youwouldsetExitValueto64foranycontrollerwhoseDestination
parameter
issettoPitchUp.Again,Nonemeansnocommandissent.
Note:Programscanalsobesavedwithcontrollerentryvalues(ontheProgramEditor
CONTROLLERSpage.)WhenaSetupisloaded,entryvaluesfortheProgramsintheSetupare
sentfirst,followedbytheentryvaluesfortheSetup.
Becauseofthis,ifaSetupandaProgram
usedbyaSetuphaveentryvaluessetforthesamecontroller,theentryvalueforthe Setupwill
beused.IfaProgramusedbyaSetuphasanentryvaluesetforacontroller,buttheSetuphasan
entryvalueofNone forthesamecontroller,theentryvaluefromtheProgramisused.
