Set encoder range for a midi cc – Arturia BeatStep Pro MIDI/Analog Controller and Sequencer Kit with CV/Gate Cables (Black) User Manual

The first press of Pad 9 will send a CC# 74 command with a value of 127, opening the filter
completely. The second press of Pad 9 will send a value of 78, which will close the filter
down part way but still let a lot of the audio pass through.
10.8.3. Set encoder range for a MIDI CC
The encoders are assignable using the same techniques described for the pads. Let’s give a
quick example of an interesting use: setting the rate of an LFO so it operates only within a
certain range.
Looking at the pictures above we see familiar information:
• Knob 9 has been selected, so it is shown in red.
• It is assigned to the User MIDI channel; you can specify any MIDI channel from
1-16 or leave it on the User channel.
• Its Mode is set to CC, which means it will transmit a value for a particular MIDI
Continuous Controller number (CC#) when it is turned.
• The second Mode field is set to Absolute, which means it will transmit in a linear
fashion from fully counter-clockwise to fully clockwise.
• The CC number field shows CC# 76, the MIDI CC# that has been assigned to
control Vibrato Rate.
• The MIDI Port setting means the data will be sent to both the physical MIDI port
and to your computer via the USB port.
• The Acceleration field allows you to set the controller response to one of four
“locked” options or the “floating” value of User. See the
section for details.
• The Min Value and Max Value fields are set to values that will cause Knob 5 to
transmit data only within a certain range.
To summarize, the settings seen above mean that Encoder 9 will control the Vibrato Rate
of the target device, sweeping it between the values of 10 and 32 only. The vibrato will not
become too fast, nor will it become too slow.
Naturally you can choose settings that are appropriate for the MIDI device you are using.

: Some devices may not use standard MIDI controller assignments. Refer to the documentation for
your device to determine what settings to use for each purpose.
