With a Selector, you can use events to trigger actions.
Events van be :
- notes,
- programs,
- pedal.
- a keystoke on the computer keyboard.
All kind of Midi message can be used as an Event, using a processor (Hardware tab, section In / Processor).
Midi messages can come also from computer keyboard or joystick
A minima-maxima of a Midi-controller (coming from Midi, mouse, joystick) can also generate en Event with a processor, etc...
The action is linked to the position of the Selector. Example :
Five criteria can trigger a Selector :
- Between two notes of the chord (e.g. for Translator elements),
- White keys between two notes of the chord
- Black keys between two notes of the chord
- exactly all notes of the chord
- one of the notes of the chord
If there are more than one chord in the Selector, the "OR" function is applied between the chords
List of Selectors can be displayed, using Help/Shortcuts menu
In case of concurrency between Selectors ( one key appears in more than one Selector ), priority is applied in this order :
- Mode assisted / non assisted
- All Selectors in User tab, with possible overlap ( one key can trigger more than one Selector )
- User's Sequences
- User's Translator elements
- Style Sequences
- Style Translator elements
- Style selection
- Cell selection
- Cell Sequences
- Cell Translator elements
- Score play
Note : "Program" can be used in the Selector as a "caps-lock". Program does not trigger a Selector, but can select between similar Selectors.
Example : to select between two Sequences played with the same key, add Program#1 in the Selector of the Sequence#1, and add Program#2 in the Selector of the Sequence#2. By default, Program#1 is active, so Sequence#1 is played. Selecting Program#2 ( with a keyboard shortcut or a Processor ), Sequence#2 is played. Etc...
With this method, it is possible to have 16 "groups" ( 16 MIDI channels ), with 255 choices each.
