Controller quirks Some synthesizers and controllers cannot send the full range of MIDI program change messages (1-128). Others may appear to be able to send only 32, but actually have a bank mode that does let you send all 128 program change messages. Also, be aware that some MIDI devices use a program numbering system that uses 0-127 instead of 1-128. If in doubt, see the manual for your controller.

MIDI Controllers

You can choose to have the PCM 80 send MIDI Controller messages whenever you turn ADJUST (the soft knob in Program Banks or Register Banks modes), or to activate analog controllers connected to the rear panel Footswitch or Foot Controller jacks. This makes it possible to record real-time control of PCM 80 effects with a MIDI sequencer — A simple but quite powerful way to automate effects.

To send MIDI data from these controllers, first set Control mode 3.2 (Transmit) to the desired MIDI Channel. (The default is Channel 1.)

MIDI Transmit

Once a transmit channel has been set, go to Control mode 3.5 to assign MIDI Controllers. Press Load/to display the available controllers: Foot Pedal, Foot Sw1, Foot Sw2 or ADJUST. Turn ADJUST to assign the MIDI Controller data to be sent when the displayed controller is activated. (The default assignment is None.).

Sustain

When a PCM 80 controller is assigned to a MIDI Controller, the PCM 80 will respond to incoming controller messages as though its own controller were moved. In other words, if FootSw1 is assigned to Sustain, the PCM 80 will respond to incoming Sustain messages as though FootSw1 had been activated.
