12. Now we will set a Scale value for Zone 3. On the Controllers page for Knob 1, Zone 3, use the
cursor buttons to select the Scale field. On the alphanumeric pad press 90 and then the Enter
button to enter 90% as a Scale value (see below.)
Knob 1 (labeled Mod on the front panel) should now control the volume of the pads on Zones 2
and 3 (if not, review the previous steps.) Zone 3 will always be at 90% the volume of Zone 2
because of the Scale value set for Zone 3. For example, if Knob 1 is sending a value of 127, Zone
2 will be at MIDI volume 127, while Zone 3 will be at MIDI volume 114. The value 114 is a result
of the value sent by Knob 1 (127) multiplied by the Scale value for Zone 3 (90% or .90.) This
equation, Knob 1 value x .90, is calculated for every new Knob 1 value received. Because MIDI
only sends integer values, numbers to the right of the decimal point are dropped, so even
though 127 x .90 = 114.3, only 114 is sent.
13. To finish, press the Exit button to the right of the display to exit the Setup Editor and save your
changes to this setup under a new ID#. See The Setup Editor section at the beginning of this
chapter for details on saving when you exit the Setup Editor.
