Relative vs. absolute MIDI encoder knobs, an example using Logic and an Akai MPK Mini 3

"Absolute" encoders send values between 1 and 128. "Relative" encoders, also called endless, or infinite encoders, just send an "increment" or a "decrement" message".

With default setups which use "absolute" encoders, when you assign an encoder pot to a fader, you have to "catch" the fader in order to change the value. With encoders setup as relative, you no longer have to do this, the encoder just works from any starting value.
