3.5.4 Pad CC Retrigger Rate

The pads are capable of outputting CC’s at a predefined rate in multiples of 5 milliseconds (ms).

By default, this rate is 45ms. It can be modified using the TWEAKER EDITOR or the “Force Sensitive

Pad Settings” SysEx message.

3.5.5 Mappability

Each pad can output Notes and CC’s. The Note mapping acts like a normal keyboard key, with a Note

On message of a velocity proportional to the force of the hit when the pad is struck. The TWEAKER

outputs a Note Off message when the pad is released. The CC output reacts like a potentiometer.

While a pad is depressed, the TWEAKER will stream with a value proportional to the force at which

the pad is pressed.

The assignment of each Note and CC mapping may be modified using the TWEAKER EDITOR or

the “Set Button Mapping” SysEx. The CC Output may be disabled using TWEAKER EDITOR or the

“Pressure Sensitive Pad Settings” SysEx.

Note/ CC

Each button can be mapped as any Note (0-127) and any CC (0-119). Multiple pads can be mapped

to output to the same Note/ CC, but only one LED can receive feedback on that Note/CC. Each pad

has it’s own individual output channel.

Default Settings

The pads are mapped to Notes 63-70 and CC’s 71-78.

The indicator LED for each pad is controlled by the pad’s Note mapping.

All pads are mapped to MIDI Channel 1.

3.6 Potentiometers

The TWEAKER has a total of five potentiometers: two rotary pots, two vertical sliders, and a crossfader.

All pots operate in Absolute Mode, which is useful for controlling volume, gain, or other continuous

parameters. As you turn clockwise (or slide upward), the pot will output increasing values until it

outputs 127. As you turn counter clockwise (or slide downward), the pot will output decreasing

values until it outputs 0.

Center Note Messages

The rotary and vertical sliders have a center detent, which are capable of outputting MIDI Note

messages. The TWEAKER outputs the following Note messages by default:
