Assigning Control

Assigns external controllers to composition's unique parameters.
To assign controls, select "Assign Control" from "Control menu".

DMX
DMX 2
Uses external DMX controller.
[ch] specifies DMX channel to be used.
[ DMX 2 ] uses two adjacent DMX channels (16bit), for finer control.
MIDI CC
Uses MIDI channel control message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
[cc] specifies control number.
MIDI Note
Uses note number of MIDI note-on message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
Last note-on in the channel is used.
If [gate], set to minimum value (note number 0) when the note is off.
MIDI Velo
Uses velocity of MIDI note-on message.
[ch] specifies MIDI channel.
Checking left side of a note specifier, only the note is used.
Otherwise, maximum velocity from any note in a chord (polyphony) is used.
If [gate], set to minimum value when the specific note or all notes are off.
OSC
Uses OSC (Open Sound Control) message.
Specify OSC address.
Sound
Uses frequency spectrum, analyzed from sound input.

This is mainly intended for Audio Spectrum parameter of Music Visualizer type compositions.
RGB
Controls color by separate RGB and Alpha (opacity) components.
External controls are assigned for each component independently, R/G/B/A from top to bottom respectively.
(Unassigned components are preserved)
HSV
Controls color by separate HSV and Alpha components (Hue, Saturation, Value, Opacity).
External controls are assigned for each component independently, H/S/V/A from top to bottom respectively.
(Unassigned components are preserved.
But if [S] or [V] are low, [H] tends to be influenced)
Time
Uses Play Time of scene controller.
It is expressed in seconds of 24 hours.
(0 to 86400 second)

Range
For numerical parameter, controlled value range can be specified.
Whole length of a controller device can be corresponded to specific value range of a parameter.
(if range is not specified, whole value range of a parameter is used)

In case of OSC, if range is not specified, data value of OSC is used as is.
In contrast, if range is specified, OSC data value [0.0] corresponds to [L] of parameter value, and OSC [1.0] corresponds to [H] of parameter value.

Relation Between Parameter and Controller Type
If specified controller type does not meet a parameter naturally, implicit conversion takes place.

Parameter\Controller	DMX, MIDI	Sound	RGB, HSV
Numeric	○	Maximum Amplitude	(unused)
Spectrum	All components are same amplitude	○	(unused)
Color	All components are same (gray) Opaque	All components are same (gray) with maximum amplitude Opaque	○
String	Text representation of amount normalized between 0 and 1	Text representation of maximum amplitude normalized between 0 and 1	(unused)

Parameter\OSC Type	Integer, Float	String	TRUE/FALSE/NULL
Numeric	○	Numerical	1/0/0
Spectrum	(unused)	(unused)	(unused)
Color	All components are same (gray) Opaque	Numerical all components are same (gray) Opaque	1/0/0 all components are same (gray) Opaque
String	Text representation	○	1/0/(empty)

External Control and Scene Memory

External and Scene
Always uses both external control and scene memory.
Switch to External
Once external control occurs, only external control is used onward.
(switching occurs per each parameter)
When Stop button in the Contoroller is pressed, scene memory becomes to be used again.
External Only
Only external control is used if a parameter is assigned external control.
(such parameter is not controlled by scene memory at all)
