Click on the Knob Tab to reveal the Controller Knob Assignments. In the lower
Definition Area, you have all the assignment details for the Controller Knob in the
Main Layer (in the left section for the "rotate left" action, on the right section for
the "rotate right" action – see picture above). In both sections, under the label's text
fields, the Software Event Type menu shows the entry "MIDI", meaning that the two ac-
tions "turning the Controller Knob to the left/right" will generate MIDI commands.
Below, you can see all the details about the MIDI message to be sent by the hard-
ware event "turning the Controller Knob to the left". The Channel menu specifies
the MIDI Channel to be used. The Status menu sets the MIDI message Status Byte
(i.e. the type of MIDI message), in our case "CC Internal": this type of message is
used to increment/decrement the value of the Control Change (CC) specified by the
following Controller menu. In our case, the CC value is 24, corresponding to the Sound
Variation Morph's horizontal (left/right) movement.
Finally, three numeric fields set the increment step (that can be negative to decre-
ment), and the minimum and maximum values.
Note: You have probably noticed that, unlike the Key command setting dis-
cussed in the previous Use Case, this MIDI command setting does not
specify any target application. The MIDI message is sent to the computer,
and every MIDI-capable program running on the computer can receive it as
long as it listens to both MIDI ports of AUDIO KONTROL 1. If you want to
be sure that only one program responds to this message, set the channel
number in the Mapping Application and in your programs accordingly.
Click on the Right Tab to reveal the mapping for the Controller Knob and the Middle
and Right Buttons when the Right Button (that works as a Modifier) is pressed. You
should then see something like this:
