DispType (Display Type): This setting allows you to select how the value for the control appears on the SL Compact display.
For encoders, it can also be used to change the mode of operation. The options are:
0-127: Control value displayed with range 0 to 127. This is best suited to a parameter with a single direction
increase/decrease, e.g. track volume.
-64/+63: Control value displayed with range -64 to +63. This is best suited to a parameter with a bi-directional
increase/decrease (zero position in the middle), e.g. track pan.

Additional options for encoders only:

REL1 (Relative 1): A message with value 65 is sent out for every clockwise step (increment) and a message with value
63 is sent out for every anti-clockwise step (decrement). With this option, the encoder functions as a true endless
control rather than emulating an analogue pot as with the 0-127 and -64/+63 settings.
REL2 (Relative 2): This is similar to the REL1 setting, however it includes encoder acceleration. A message with value
64+n is sent out for every clockwise step (increment) and a message with value 64-n is sent out for every anti-clockwise
step (decrement). The value n depends on how fast you rotate the encoder. It will be 1 when you rotate it slowly and
get larger the faster you rotate it, meaning that you can scale the full range of a parameter with a small quick turn
of an encoder.
0-16K (14-bit mode): MIDI data values are transmitted as a 7-bit binary number, allowing a maximum value range of 0-
127. The MIDI Specification allows for two MIDI control messages to be sent together, where the data values form an
MSB (most significant byte) and LSB (least significant byte) pair, making a 14-bit binary number and allowing a maximum
value range of 0-16383. This is useful where fine control over a parameter is required however the parameter you are
controlling must be able to receive 14-bit MIDI values. If you want to send 14-bit values for fine control over a
parameter then set DispType to 0-16K.
For CC controls, the MIDI Specification only allows for CC numbers 0 to 31 to be used in this way. Two CC messages are
sent when the value of a parameter is changed – the first with the MSB value and the second with the LSB value. To
enable the receiving device to distinguish between which CC message has the MSB value and which has the LSB value,
the LSB value message is sent using a different CC number, calculated by adding 32 to the original CC number.
Consequently CC numbers 32 to 63 are used for sending the LSB value in 0-16K (14-bit) mode. As an example, if a CC
encoder has DispType set to 0-16K and CC Num set to 0 then, for each encoder step, two messages will be sent – a
CC0 message with the MSB value and a CC32 message with the LSB value. The important point to note is that if an
encoder has Control set to CC and DispType set to 0-16K then CC Num should only be set from 0 through 31
and not higher.
