Is there a full manual for MCC?
I'd like to know a few things. For example, what is the difference between relative 1,2 and 3 know settings?
The difference between the modes of the knobs are how they control each parameter. Absolute is the main one you would use for controlling most knobs and sliders, on the Moog for example. They use 0-127 values which correspond to what value you use for the know rotation speed.
Relative mode means that the encoders send MIDI messages that can increment or decrement a parameter without
there being jumps in the values. This allows for smooth operation and allows for greater interaction in applications that
support this type of MIDI data.
From Arturia website:
If the encoders are set to RELATIVE 1 (using the free MIDI CONTROL CENTER software), the encoders will send a stream of
MIDI messages with data values of 65-67 when turned clockwise and will send a string of MIDI message 63-61 when turned
counter clockwise. The faster you turn the encoder, the higher or lower the data value. Relative 2 and Relative 3 modes
are similar in operation but send different values.
Absolute mode is the standard method of sending MIDI data. When an encoder is moved, it will send a value based on
the last value it sent. Example:
The Encoder last sent a value of 32. When the encoder is turned clockwise, it will send 33, 34, 35, …. in increasing amounts
up to 127. If you turned it counter clockwise, it would send the data 31, 30, 29, …. in decreasing amounts to a value of 0.
