Note Processing Parameters
Ð affect note velocity. The curves used are the same as Ribbon,
Breath, CCPD, and Remap Controllers. This allows you to switch
sounds by how hard you press the keys or tailor the ÒfeelÕ of a
controller to a sound module, so the sound responds well to your
playing style. You can reverse the velocity so that when you play
harder the notes are quieter or to limit the ranges so that when
you play softly a sound from one Zone is heard and when you
play harder a sound from another Zone is heard. See page 33 for
detailed description of how the curve parameters work.

Continuous Controller Note Parameters

These parameters are used to set how controllers 40, 41, and 42
play notes from a physical controller. Continuous Controller
Note Scale (CCNoteScl) assigns the scale that will be played. You
can set it to one of the 17 ROM scales or the 8 User scales. The list
of ROM scales is on page 47.
Continuous Controller Note Velocity (CCNoteVel) sets the note
velocity at which the CC note will play. You can set it from 0-127
or use controller 44 to change it in real time.
Continuous Controller Note Transpose (CCNoteXpo) transposes
CC notes up or down 3 octaves. This parameter works in
conjunction with controller 43 Note Offset (see page 55).
Remember that the 13 Note controller (40) and Scale length
controller (42) center around C4 while controller 41, 37 Note,
centers on C3. If you create a User scale, the starting pitch can be
any note within a 2 octave range. With controller 40 and 42,
however, it will always be between C4 and C6; in 37 Note the
scale will be between C3 and C5 (when the Note Transpose is set
at 0).
Zone Note Map (ZnNoteMap) allows you to change the way
notes are sent from the ExpressionMate. The Default is Linear,
which plays notes from low to high as a keyboard would
normally play. Inverse (Invrse) will play the notes opposite of the
Linear setting, so high notes will play from the left to low notes
on the right. Constant (Const) will play one note; set the note
with the Zone Transpose. The next 10 values are alternating Note
maps and these can be used in a variety of ways. If you have two
of the same sound module you can double your polyphony by
setting one Zone to send 1 of 2 to one module and another Zone
to send 2 of 2 to the other module. The Þrst Zone will Play C, skip
C# then play D then skip D# and so on. Zone 2 will skip C play
