1. CC-ABSOLUTE (VR)
Control Change messages are sent with status 0xBn, where n is the channel, for the specified CC controller. Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number. The value from 0x00 to 0x7F, directly related to the location of the controller.
2. CC-RELATIVE (ENC)
Control Change messages are status 0xBn, where n is the channel, for the specified CC controller. Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number. The value from 0x40 to indicate the change in the controller. This is an offset to 0x40 "one's complement" notation.
A message with data 0x43 indicates a positive change of 3.
A messages with data 0x31 indicates a negative change of 15.
3. SWITCH ON/OFF (SW,CENTER,CW,CCW)
These messages are used for switches.
Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, SWITCH On and Off value are 0x7F and 0x00, where n is the channel.
4. LED ON/OFF (LED)
These messages are used for LED.
Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, LED On and Off value are 0x7F and 0x00, where n is the channel.
