[. . . ] Assigning the Slider to Control Only the SP If you tried moving the slider on the SP while playing either of the previous two Setups you created, you probably noticed that the volume on your external module was controlled as well as the volume on the SP. This is because the slider is a controller slider instead of a regular audio attenuator, and is sending MIDI volume messages on both zones of your Setup. If you don't want your module's volume affected by the slider on the SP, you need to turn the slider off for that zone. Start with the Setup you created in Tutorial #1 or 2. Press Column Select until the Middle Column LED is lit. Press Row Select until Control Slider is selected (LED solid). Notice that it is set to 7, which is volume. Don't forget to store your Setup. 9 SP Made Easy 4. Controlling the Volume for the SP and External Module Separately Now that you have the Slider controlling the volume for the SP only, you might want to use a separate controller to control the volume of your external module. We will use Ribbon A to do this in this tutorial. Start with the Setup you created in Tutorial #3. Press Column Select until the Middle Column LED is lit. Press Row Select until A Ribbon is selected (LED solid). Since the A ribbon was previously assigned to Pitch Bend (the default in the factory presets), the Ribbon has been set to spring back to center when you let go of it. This means that currently, the volume will jump to a value of 64 when you remove your finger from the ribbon. So you want to change the ribbon to Hold. Press Row Select once to select the Hold or Center parameter. Press Yes or No to change the value from Ctr (center) to Hld (Hold). If you want to be able to use Ribbon A to do pitch bend on your external module, then you can choose a different physical controller. If you have a continuous control pedal, you can choose that parameter. You can also use one of the two sides of the B ribbon. Since the top half of the B ribbon is set to the Mod Wheel controller, you might try using the bottom half. [. . . ] Continuous controllers will send a range of values between 0 and 127. Logically, you will want to pick a particular controller based on what type of message you are trying to send. If you only need to send two different values, then you would typically use a switch controller, whereas if you need to send a range of values, you have to use a continuous controller. The MIDI Controller numbers are grouped by type - Controllers 0-63, are designated for continuous control, 64-69, 96, 97, & 120-127 are switch functions. [. . . ]
