Mapped range
While remote control is active, 24 MIDI notes (2 octaves) from your keyboard or controller are used to control your Woovebox. Outside of those two octaves, your keyboard or controller will work as normal.
Positions
On first use of the remote control feature, your Woovebox automatically detects which two octaves (out of five possible positions across the keyboard) should be "sacrificed" for remote control. From thereon, only those two octaves respond to remote control messages. Using this mechanism, your Woovebox can be configured for control from the following positions on the keyboard (assuming MIDI note 60 being C4 / "middle C");
- C-1 to B0 (MIDI notes 0-23)
- C1 to B2 (MIDI notes 24-47)
- C3 to B4 (MIDI notes 48-71)
- C5 to B6 (MIDI notes 72-95)
- C7 to B8 (MIDI notes 96-119)

Additional MIDI mapping
If your keyboard or controller has a pitch bend control, turning the value knob rapidly can be emulated by repeatedly pitching up (corresponding to turning left) or down (corresponding to turning right).
Simulated single value knob left and right detents ("clicks") are mapped to CC#97 ("Data Button Decrement") and CC#96 ("Data Button Increment") respectively. Any accompanying value is ignored. Simulated single value knob left and right detents ("clicks") are also mapped to CC#85 and CC#84 respectively. Any accompanying value for these controls is not ignored; a value of >= 64 signifies a press, and a value of <=63 signifies a release.
As said, CC#80 replicates the sustain pedal mechanic and puts the Woovebox in remote control expander mode. If you wish to avail of this mapping, you may wish to configure your controller's button - if possible - to act like latching/"toggle" button so that a single press "holds" the mode until it is pressed again to exit the mode.
Simulated Woovebox play button, write button and value knob presses are additionally mapped to CC#81, CC#82, and CC#83 respectively, where a value of >= 64 signifies a press, and a value of <=63 signifies a release. If you wish to avail of this mapping, configure your controller's buttons - if possible - to act like momentary, rather than latching/"toggle" buttons. For your convenience, using these controller numbers automatically puts your Woovebox in remote control expander mode for the duration of the press (e.g. acting as if CC#80 or the sustain pedal were pressed at the same time as well).
Please note it is important to properly release controls mapped to CC#80 - CC#85, by sending a value <= 63 (button/control released). If you do not require the Woovebox to register a button or control being pressed in (held down) first (e.g. you wish to mimic a quick momentary tap), you may send a value <=63 immediately, rather than sending a >= 64 value first.
