Controlling a Sound Module with the DATA ENTRY Slider

The following functions can be assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider:

Function nameDescription

Channel Aftertouch Alters notes currently being played

VelocityChanges dynamics

Reverb Send Level (CC 91)Sets the depth of Reverb

Chorus Send Level (CC 93)Sets the depth of Chorus

Volume (CC 07)Sets the volume level of the Part

Panpot (CC 10)Sets sound position (localization in the stereo sound field)

CC 00 to 127Depends on the selected Controller Number

*Since a slider control accesses digital information, it might not produce any noticeable change in the value if moved by only a small amount. If this happens, move the slider up and down once, then set the value.

Altering the Timbre of Notes Currently Being Played (Channel Aftertouch)

The keyboard on the PC-70 cannot transmit Channel Aftertouch messages. However, such messages can be transmitted by assigning the Channel Aftertouch function to the DATA ENTRY slider on the PC-70.

Channel Aftertouch is a function that lets you alter notes (that have already been played) by applying additional pressure on the keys. The PC-70 can create this Aftertouch effect— simply move the DATA ENTRY slider after Aftertouch has been assigned to it.

[Procedure]

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the desired Part.

2.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (LED will show “SEL”).

3.Press the F3 white key (AFTER TOUCH) [7].

4.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again to confirm your selection. Now, when you move the DATA ENTRY slider, Channel Aftertouch messages (with a value reflecting the slider’s position) will be transmitted.

*A GS sound module will not respond to Aftertouch messages while it remains set at its factory defaults. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for the sound module you are using. Computer users should consult the owner’s manual for their software, since it may be possible to select a response for Channel Aftertouch within the software.
