I have a similar question. I just got one of the Behringers yesterday and I noticed it has the ability to send out data in "relative" mode rather that "absolute." From what I understood this signal would avoid such jumps because it would be an increase or decrease relative to what the current setting is, instead of a fixed 0-127 value(?)
Modul8 didn't seem to handle the signal well in this mode, it would not work at all most of the time. Is there something I'm doing wrong or does modul8 not support this midi mode?
Thanks.
I can see why you would expect that behavior, but in reality that's not what relative mode is really for. For one thing, if you think about it, even in relative mode, the BCR's light ring indicators wouldn't correct (which would be distracting). Relative mode is really for controls which don't really have a discrete end. For example, relative mode would be well suited for rotating an image. Since the image can just be rotated around and around without an end point, a relative knob would allow you to continue rotating it to your heart's content without having you hit an end point. Get the picture?
In any case, MIDI feedback will be here soon so we'll have the ultimate answer!
