when you move it down. In the internal setup, the physical controller Wheel 1 Up is assigned to
send the MIDI Controller message Pitch Up (the value of the Wheel 1 Up parameter is Pitch Up). If
you change the value of the Wheel 1 Up parameter, you change the MIDI Controller message
that the Pitch Wheel sends when you move it up.

Entry Value

Enables a controller to send a MIDI Controller message of a specific value as soon as you select a
program or setup, regardless of the position of the physical controller that is assigned to send the
message. For example, if you want to make sure that the program in Zone 1 of a setup is panned
to the left whenever you select the setup, assign a physical controller in Zone 1 of that setup to
send MIDI Controller 10, then set an Entry Value of 0 for that controller.
Entry values ignore the current position of the physical controller when you select the program
or setup. In fact, if the physical controller is above or below the entry value when you select the
program or setup, moving the controller has no effect until you move it past its entry value. In
the panning example above, moving the controller won't change the panning until you move it
all the way down, then back up at least partially.
Setting Entry Value to None is different from setting it to 0. None means that there's no initial
controller command when you select the program or setup, but you'll notice the effect as soon as
you move the controller.

Exit Value

Enables a controller to send a MIDI Controller message of a specific value as soon as you leave a
program or setup, either by selecting another program or setup, or by changing performance
modes. This prevents the position of the controller in the current program or setup from affecting
the next program or setup you select.
For example, suppose you have Knob A controlling pan position in Zone 1 of a setup. You have
Knob A's Exit Value parameter set to None for Zone 1. While you're playing that setup, you pan
Zone 1 fully left. If you select another setup that doesn't have an entry value for pan in Zone 1,
then Zone 1 of the newly-selected setup will also be panned left. The easiest way to prevent this
is to set an exit value of 64 for Knob A in Zone 1. This will return the panning to the center.
In general, if you set an entry value for a controller, it's a good idea to set an exit value as well, to
remove that controller's effect when you leave the setup.

The Controllers Menu: Ribbon Controller Parameters

There's one ribbon parameter that's unique to ribbon section 1, as described below:

Ribbon Section Configuration (Ribbon Sect)

Determines the configuration of the optional ribbon controller. A value of Large creates a single
section spanning the entire length of the ribbon. A value of 3 Sect. divides the ribbon into three
sections of equal length.
Each ribbon section has the following three parameters:
