MIDI CONTROLLER SOURCES

CONTROLLER

 

DESCRIPTION

 

PITCH BEND

 

The pitch bend wheel or lever common on most synthesizers.

CONTROLLER #1

 

The Mod Wheel common on most synthesizers is designated

 

 

Controller #1 in the MIDI specification. It is called Controller #1

 

 

instead of Mod Wheel here since it is easier to display as "1" due to

 

 

the limits of the 7 segment LED displays.

 

AFTER TOUCH

 

After a note is depressed, a pressure on the key will cause a MIDI

 

 

command. This ability is not available on all keyboards.

NOTE NUMBER

 

Any MIDI note from keyboard, sequencer, or drum machine.

NOTE VELOCITY

 

The target parameter will change in relation to how hard a key is

 

 

struck.

 

SUSTAIN PEDAL

 

The

common sustain pedal

 

 

found on most electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation

 

 

controller.

 

BREATH CONTROLLER

 

The breath controller found on some electronic keyboards can be

 

 

used as a modulation controller.

 

VOLUME PEDAL

 

The

common volume pedal

 

 

found on some electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation

 

 

controller

(MIDI Controller #7).

MOD PARAMETER DESTINATIONS

There are 6 parameters of the MIDIVERB III that can be modulated by one of the above source controllers. These are called "targets" or "destinations". They are:

MIDIVERB III MIDI PARAMETER TARGETS

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

Reverb Decay

Length of time before the Reverb dies can be modulated.

Delay Time

Length of time between repeats can be modulated

Delay Regeneration

Number of echo repeats can be modulated

Chorus Speed

How fast or slow the Chorus or Flange oscillates can be modulated

Reverb Level

The output of the Reverb can be remotely modulated

Delay Level

The output of the Delay can be remotely modulated

MOD ROUTING DISPLAY

The MIDIVERB III displays exactly which Mod Routing is currently selected via the LED display. Of the three characters that will be displayed, the first character on the left will always indicate which MIDI Controller source has been selected. The second and third characters displays the MIDIVERB III parameter selected.
