Creative E-MU manual CC Type, Midi Channel

E-MU Xboard Control

MIDI Channel

This field allows you to set the MIDI channel for each knob. This field is “greyed out” (and unavailable) unless the “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option is selected (see below). Normally, all the controller knobs use the Basic MIDI channel. The “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option allows you to select a different MIDI channel for each knob, the wheels, and the footpedal. This feature is only accessible from the Xboard Control software.

CC Type

From the CC type drop-down menu, there are three available types of continuous controllers: CC mode, 3D MIDI mode, and NRPN mode.

CC Mode

This is the standard (and default) Continuous Controller mode. The continuous controller is stepped in values from 0 through 127.

Val This field displays the exact initial position of the continuous controller knob. Numeric values from 0 to 127 can be directly typed in.

CCThe CC Channel number field allows you to set the MIDI continuous controller number (0-127) for each knob. The Xboard CC numbers must match the CC numbers on your synthesizer in order to operate.

Note: Don’t confuse MIDI channels with MIDI CC numbers. See “MIDI Channels & Continuous Controllers” on page 64 for more information.

3D MIDI Mode

For Creative products, such as the X-Fi, that support 3D MIDI technology.

Val This field displays the exact initial position

of the controller knob. Numeric values from Right-Click0 to 16383 can be directly typed in.

3D The 3D number field allows you to set the 3D MIDI parameter number (0-8) for each knob. Right-click the 3D field to see and select from a description of values 0 through 8 (values above 8 are not currently used for 3D MIDI).
