Do you mean inverse data 127-0? There are entries for PBUp/Dn and VolUp/Dn, but for other CCs you could draft a reverse curve for that, assign it to a pad (or MIDI, and link it to a different pad with a different CC and different curve. Or we re-write a mode to handle a user-entered CC to the VolDn slot, for instance. Not too hard. > > Generate custom pre-programmed arpeggios per-note or by velocity. Got that. the chord-generator gets you started with basic chord-types. Add notes or roll your own however you like then play out the notes (up to 8) all together as a chord, stepped one-at-a-time, or as a sequence (arpeggio). The timing of the arpeggio defaults to 100ms but you can edit each note to whatever timing you like, 1-9999 ms. Turning on GateShift expands the timing with velocity. TapTempo can re-time the full arpeggio. Looping may be set to play the arp or chord 1-255 times, or forever until you toggle it off. In any case the appearance of any note is defined by its velocity-window and consequently the arpeggio can be made to sound different based on velocity, like making chord-extensions appear with a harder hit, for instance. > Generate MIDI without an event, on it’s own (play a looping >pre-programmed sequence). what starts it? > > Generate MIDI notes based on a random function, synched to midi clock. > we've done this twice by accident, once was a solder bridge at the right spot and once was a software mistake. In both cases the instrument could be left to play itself endlessly without any musical repetition but the semblance of order or phrasing seemed to be happening. Truly frightening. We all just stood and listened for a while. I left the software bug buried but disabled in case I ever wanted to retrieve it, the auto-play mode. > Create volume groups (map a volume change on one channel to a volume >change on several other channels at the same time). we do this by mapping an input volume change to a pad-slot that has up to 8 volume change messages attached. Or expand it further by Linking to another pad.
