CC Mapper
The CC Mapper allows you to map MIDI controllers to other MIDI controllers before 
they are passed on to the following layers and zones. You can also use it to transform 
incoming values using curves.

controllers, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and the eight global controllers Contr.

Controller Mode
Sometimes it is useful to control the effect of the curve dynamically. For that purpose, 
you can use a definable side-chain controller, either in Switch or Continuous mode.
Off
When Controller Mode is set to Off, the curve is applied at 100 %. The side-chain 
controller cannot be used.
Switch
In this mode, the velocity curve is only applied when the side-chain controller sends a 
value higher than 64. This allows you to use a foot switch to activate...

MIDI Modules ReferenceTuning Scale
Editing Tuning Scales
You can create custom tuning scales by editing the notes per octave (the tune offsets 
apply equally to all octaves on the keyboard) or by editing the 128 MIDI notes 
individually (the tune offsets apply only to single notes). Editing the scale per octave is 
particularly useful for creating different temperaments. Editing the scale per note is 
useful for creating stretched tunings.
