Control Change

When you operate the damper pedal, adjust the balance in Layer mode, or make other adjustments on the control panel, a Control Change message is sent to a connected external MIDI device. At the same time, C-720 can receive a Control Change message from an external MIDI device connected to its MIDI IN, to control the damper pedal, volume adjustment, and other data.

Control Change enable/disable

The C-720 usually receives Control Change data. If you don’t want to receive (or transmit) them, use the Filter function. See “MIDI Filters” on page 53.
