Relative Messages

Most software controls receive "absolute" messages by scanning the position of a fader or
encoder and using that position's value. Some other software controls, however, receive
"relative" messages, which simply increment/decrement the value (as opposed to sending a
precise value to designate a position).
To set a fader to send relative messages:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode. The Edit button will light up.
2. Move the desired fader. The fader's number will appear in the display.
3. Press the Ctrl Assign key. The display will show ASGN for 1 second and then show the
fader's number (F__) and a number for the type of message it sends.
4. Use the numeric keys (0–9) or Preset Down/Up () buttons to enter the desired MIDI
CC number (001–127).
5. Press the Data 2 key. The display will show DATA2 for 1 second and then show the
fader's number (F__) and the value at its minimum position.
6. Use the numeric keys (0–9) or Preset Down/Up () buttons to enter one of the following
values for the desired relative operation:
128 or 130: Moving the fader up increments the value. Moving it down decrements the
value.
Note: If using the 128 setting does not work with your software, use the 130 setting
instead; not all software applications respond to the same type of relative message.
129 or 131: Moving the fader up decrements the value. Moving it down increments the
value.
Note: If using the 129 setting does not work with your software, use the 131 setting
instead; not all software applications respond to the same type of relative message.
7. Press the Enter key. The fader is now set to send relative messages for the assigned MIDI
CC, and you will exit Edit Mode.
To cancel your changes instead, press Edit. You will exit Edit Mode without saving anything.
Remember to store the preset if you want to save your changes in that preset.
