+===== Adding the second Translator =====

 if oo<=gc then Goto "back"\\
 gc=oo\\
@@ Line 61: / Line 75: @@
 if gd==pp then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action\\
 gd=pp\\
+''
 \\
-And a little explaintion about the rule.\\
+A little explanation about the rule:\\
-you see pp=oo/127 , this means your encoder/slider sends velocity from 0 to 127\\
+''pp=oo/127'' means your encoder/slider sends velocity from 0 to 127 and ''oo=oo*21'' is how you divide the 127.\\
-and oo=oo*21 this means how you like to divide the 127.\\
+For this, the formula is 127/21= 6.04, so on each 6th velocity step it will send a keystroke.\\
-so formula goes 127/21= 6.04 , so on each 6 velocity it will send a Key stroke.\\
+This can look strange, because FreeStyler only allows to add 20 Sequences on one cue but I noticed it works better if you add one more.\\
-this can look strange because FS only allows to add 20 Sequences on one Cue but i noticed it works better if you add 1 more.\\

-and the output singnel is again a key stroke emulation only not the same key button a other one so "A"\\
+The output signal again is a key stroke emulation, only this time not the same key button, but another one so we choose "A".\\
 \\
-now open Freestyler and go to the external controls, and then the keyboard shortcuts.\\
+===== Configuring FreeStyler =====
-now search for the submaster GO 1~20 and Submaster back 1~20.\\
-now on Submaster Go1 you put the Key "Q" submaster back you put the key "A"\\
+Now open FreeStyler and go to the "External Controls" and then "Keyboard Shortcuts".\\
-and iff this is inverted just, invert the Q and A.\\
-and to test this you can open a Notepad and if you rotate the encoder/slider on way up you see the Key Q come up and if you rotate the other way up you will see the key A pup op.\\
+Search for the "Submaster Go" 1~20 and "Submaster Back" 1~20.\\
+On "Submaster Go 1" you put the Key "Q", on "Submaster Back 1" you put the key "A".\\
+If this is inverted, just invert the Q and A.\\
+To test this you can open a Notepad and if you rotate the encoder or move the slider one way (right / up) you see the key "Q" come up, if you rotate the other way up you will see the key "A".\\

+Here you see two encoder that use this feature and send the Keys Q, W, E and R, but you also see the keys A and S.\\
+I added these to switch between the Submaster pages, as I like to Scroll through five submasters at the same time.\\
+If I rotate encoder 1, I can scroll through Submaster 1 to 5 and switch to Submaster page 1 (so I can see which sequence I have selected). And if I rotate encoder 2, I can scroll trough submaster 6 to 10 and it switches to Submaster page 2 (so I can see there too, which sequence I have selected).\\
+Therefore I don't need to switch the submaster pages with a separate button.\\
