Mode Menu Values for Knobs
For the type Control Change, a Mode menu allows you to select between three operating
modes:
▪ Absolute: In this mode the control element sends absolute values. The Range From, To, and
Resolution parameters are the same as for the other message types (see above).
▪ Relative: In this mode the sent message is in a +1/-1 fashion — actually 1/127, which is
then understood by the target software as +1/-1 in that case. This allows the control ele-
ment to set the new Control Change value relatively to its current value. Two parameters
are available:
◦ Step: Defines the increment to use. Increase the Step value to trigger greater jumps in
the target parameter value. If you choose a negative value for Step, the control will be
inverted.
