Continuous Controllers And The Active Range Settings; Making Settings In The Assign Screens - Boss GT-10 Workshop Manual

Continuous Controllers and the Active Range Settings

The Active Range settings on the ASSIGN screens are for realtime control
power users. They allow you to condense the active range of a continuous
controller when you've assigned it as a source, so that you can "tighten up"
the feel of the controller when it's used.
For example, let's say you've targeted a delay's level to be controlled by the
onboard expression pedal, as we discussed above. By setting "ActRngLo"
and "ActRngHi" to values other than 0 and 127 respectively, you confine the
minimum and maximum value adjustment over a smaller pedal range when
the pedal is operated.
This principle is illustrated in the following diagram. Here, ActRngLo is set to
40 and ActRngHi is set to 80, while Min is set to 0 and Max is set 127.

Active Range settings are really only useful when the control source
is an expression pedal or input level. (Even then, the effect of Active
Range settings can be quite subtle.) For all other control sources—or if
you don't want to set a smaller active range for an expression pedal or
input level source—we recommend setting ActRngLo to 0 and ActRngHi
to 127.
