The Template Edit ‘Note On/Off’ Pages

The following Menu pages are available if Control Type on menu page 1 is set to ‘Note On/Off’. These
are only available if the control being edited is a button :

Sets the note to be played when the button is pressed. Any note value in the MIDI note range can be
defined.

This setting determines how the button will behave. For flexibility, there are three available options :

The velocity value (See below) will be transmitted when the button is 
pressed. Data is only sent when the button is pressed, not when released.
NOTE: Caution is required when using this option since a ‘permanent’ Note On mes
sage would be received by a device and there would be no corresponding Note Off 
command to silence an increasing number of Notes!

The velocity value will be transmitted when the button is pressed and a 
Note Off command (Note On with zero value) will be transmitted when the button is 
released. This would be the most commonly used option.

Pressing the button alternates between transmitting the velocity value data value and 
a Note off message. The velocity value is sent on the first button press. Data is only 
sent when the button is pressed and not when it is released.

It is clear to see that when a button is defined as a Momentary type, it can become a reasonable trigger
device for Drum type sounds or a ‘one shot’ sample, although the note velocity is fixed (see below) not
dynamic.

Defines the fixed velocity value used in the MIDI Note On message, transmitted when the button is
pressed.

The remaining menu pages are exactly the same in operation as those settings already described for the
Template Edit ‘CC’ menu pages. These are described in detail on pages 29 & 30.
