1. WYSIWYC : What You See Is What You Control. This ASSIGN-LAYER can be effectively used to control the Ravity(S) through the hardware MIDI controller.

Same CC# is assigned to knob or button on the every LAYER. But, you can only control the parameter which you can see now on the screen.

When you're using many Ravities simultaneously, same CC# is assigned to all Ravities.

Tip! Controller with many knobs and faders : You can assign to all parameters through the WYSIWYC ASSIGN-LAYER.

Tip! Controller with about 4 knobs and faders : You can assign to QEK in the MAIN MODULE through the WYSIWYC ASSIGN-LAYER.

2. Individual : Makes it possible to independently assign to all controls.

All parameters can be controlled independently, regardless of whether you can see them on the screen or not.

When you're using many Ravities simultaneously, same CC# is assigned to all Ravities.

Tip! Controller with about 12 knobs and faders : You can assign to QEK in the MAIN MODULE through the Individual ASSIGN-LAYER.

3. Performance : This MIDI ASSIGN-LAYER can be very useful for playing the expressive preset sounds.

All parameters can be controlled independently, regardless of whether you can see them on the screen or not.

This MIDI ASSIGN-LAYER is applied only to, or saved and loaded only with the current program.

For example, Oscillator LFO Amount parameter is assigned to CC#1:Modulation in the preset 'Simple Sine' of category 'Lead Synth', so you can control the pitch vibrato through the CC#1.



Direct Assign

1. To control the parameter through the MIDI CC#, click the right button of your mouse on the knob or button and open the MIDI Assign menu.

2. Select a MIDI CC# from the Assign menu of the desired MIDI ASSIGN-LAYER.


3. To check the MIDI CC#, click the right button of your mouse again.

- Forget : Cancels the MIDI Assign.

- Set Min : Sets minimum value controllable by MIDI signal.

- Set Max : Sets maximum value controllable by MIDI signal.

- Reverse : Reverses the increase and decrease of the MIDI signal.



Learn Assign

1. Click the right button of your mouse on the knob or button and open the MIDI Assign menu.

2. If you select the Learn menu in one of these MIDI ASSIGN-LAYERs, Ravity(S) will be in the stand-by status to accept MIDI signal. If you select the Cancel menu, Ravity(S) will cancel the stand-by status. You can set multiple parameters to stand-by status, and make them to be controlled by the same MIDI CC#.


3. Tweak the knob or fader of your MIDI controller, so that Ravity(S) can learn the MIDI signal to assign.

4. The value of parameter will be effective as soon as you tweak the knob or fader.


5. Other functions work in the same way as in the Direct Assign.



Global Functions

1. To reset or report the MIDI Assign setup, use the MIDI Assign Section on the BACK PANEL of Ravity(S).

- Factory Reset : Resets the MIDI Assign setup to factory default. (It doesn't apply to the Performance ASSIGN-LAYER)

- Clear : Clears all the MIDI Assign setup.

- Report : Makes a TXT file about the current MIDI Assign setup and displays it.




 6) Clipboard Function

Clipboard function is to copy and paste the setup of parameters.


1. To open the Clipboard menu, click the right button of your mouse on one effector slot. (or on one layer/pad)

2. If you select the Copy, the setup of effector slot is copied to the temporary memory.


3. If you want to use the setup the Clipboard on another effector slot, just right click on it and choose the Paste menu.


4. If you select the Swap on the Clipboard menu, the setup of the current effector slot and the on one the Clipboard are swapped.
