The Custom Row; Setting Range Limits For Adjust And The Custom - Lexicon PCM 90 - REV 1 User Manual

The Custom row of the full edit matrix allows you to customize an effect by adding
defining ranges, as well as adding meaningful names and labels to the ADJUST
knob and the Custom Controls. It also provides controls for assigning KeyWords
to effects for sorting purposes.
Setting Range Limits for ADJUST and the Custom Controls
The first five positions in the Custom row: ADJUST and Control 1-4 allow
customization of the ADJUST knob and any Custom Controls you want to place
in the Soft Row. The controls for each of these behave identically.
The first set of controls allows you to set range limits. Press Load/ and turn
SELECT to display Low Limit, High Limit and MidPoint. Use ADJUST to
select values from 0-127.
Low Limit is the minimum value that the control will output. In most cases this
will be 0 (or 127 for inverted control). If ADJUST or the Custom Control is also
mapped to a MIDI controller, incoming MIDI values below this minimum value
will be treated as equivalent to the Low Limit.
High Limit is the maximum value that the control will output. This can be set to
any value above the Low Limit and effectively establishes the total range of the
controller. If ADJUST or the Custom Control is also mapped to a MIDI controller,
MIDI values above this maximum value will be treated as equivalent to the High
Limit.
In many cases, where the control is to have full range (0-127) or where it is to
behave as an off/on switch (0-1) these two values (Low and High) are the only
ones which have to be specified. In other cases, the control can be enhanced
by adding more than just these simple range limits.
MidPoint allows you to establish a fixed reference point between the Low and
High Limits you have selected. The MidPoint has no effect on the range you have
established, but does determine the number of positions within the controller's
range which can be labeled with text.
Labeling ADJUST, the Custom Controls and their ranges
Press and hold down the Edit button to access a submode which allows you to
name the control, as well as any points you have assigned. While you are holding
down Edit, the message: Entering Custom label assign ... will be displayed,
followed by the current name of the control with a cursor positioned over the first
character of the name. Use ADJUST to select a new character. Press Up or
Down to select a new type of character (upper case, lower case, numeric,
symbolic, or blank). Simultaneously press Up and Down to clear all characters
from the cursor to the end of the line. Turn SELECT to move the cursor to a new
position. Continue in this manner until you have finished entering the new name.
A maximum of 20 characters (including spaces) may be used.
Press Load/ repeatedly to cycle through the remaining choices: LowLabel,
HighLabel, MidLabel, LowRange and HighRange. Names are entered using
ADJUST and SELECT in exactly the same manner.
