Set controller events CTRL-J

This functions allows you to fill a selected area with any number of one single controller event. In this function-name controller events means controller, Drum NRPN and NRPN events.

To fill a selected area with controller events is normaly the basic step when you want to fade one MIDI controller from a beginning value to a final value over some MIDI data. E.g. if you want some played MIDI notes to be slightly faded in with the main volume controller.


Example of the final result which you want to create

So you first have to define which event type you want, press the button Controller which changes to Drum NRPN, NRPN and back to Controller :


Set controller events

Further you have to specify the controller type itself.

E.g. if you selected Controller, you have to define what controller should be created, Main Volume, Balance, Pan or whatever. Select this controller itself in the combo box further spec.

All events will get the same MIDI channel, which is selectable in the MIDI channel combo box.

Finaly you have to enter the amount of duplicates MIDI Locator should create of your defined controller (number of events).

The controller values itself will be set to one single value of 64/0. You can later change these values to the needed fade in or out curve in MIDI Locator's controller value function. Value 64/0 means that they are physical set to 64. MIDI controller's data 2 values can actually only be set between 0 and 127, but MIDI Locator translates and shows in the value combo box (e.g. in the MIDI editor) of some controllers a range of -64 thru 63. These are controllers which have the middle position at the physical value of 64 (e.g. panorama).

As explained, the actually controller curve has to be set with the controller value function. Go on reading there after you have now basically created the controller events.
