The values of these MIDI events correspond to the proximity of the crosshair to the vector fader’s
four corners:
•
In the center, all channels receive a value of 32.
•
At the corners, the corresponding channel receives a value of 127 and all remaining channels
receive a value of 0 (if using the default range of 0 to 127).
If you alter the range, the center and corners behave differently, with the four values always
totaling 125.
Special faders overview
The Environment provides a number of special fader objects that are built specifically to perform
certain functions.
Cable switchers, alias assigners, and meta messages are types of faders that do not generate MIDI
events. They share the same Output definition type, either Switch or Meta, depending on the
current -1- value setting:
•
If the -1- value is 48, the fader is a cable switcher.
•
If the -1- value is 46, the fader is an alias assigner.
•
If the -1- value is any other value, the fader sends out meta messages of a type that
corresponds to the -1- value.
Create a cable switcher
Do one of the following:
m Choose New > Fader > Specials > Cable Switcher.
m Change an existing fader’s Output definition to Switch/Meta, and set its -1- value to 48.
Create an alias assigner
Do one of the following:
m Choose New > Fader > Specials > Alias Assigner.
m Change an existing fader’s Output definition to Switch/Meta, and set its -1- value to 46.
Create a meta type fader
Do one of the following:
m Choose it from the New > Fader > Specials menu.
m Change an existing fader’s Output definition to Switch/Meta, and set its -1- value to the desired
meta event number.
