Basic Structure
● Using one source to control several destinations
For example, set the Source parameter of Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the Destination parameter to ELFO-PM
(Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Source parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW, but set the Destination
parameter to ELM PAN (Element Pan). You will also need to specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth (amount) of
control.
In this example, when you move the Modulation Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation increases accordingly, and the
Element is panned from left to right. In this way, you can have the sound change in several different ways, simply by adjusting a
single controller.
● Using several sources to control one destination
For example, set the Source parameter of Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the Destination parameter to ELFO-PM
(Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Source parameter of Control Set 2 to FC (Foot Controller) and set the
Destination parameter also to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth).
Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller. In this way, you can have several different
controllers affect the same aspect of the sound. This can be useful in live performance situations, letting you use any one of
several controllers depending on which is convenient at the time.
nThe Controller Set edited in the Voice Edit mode is available when the corresponding Voice is selected in the Performance mode, Song mode, and Pattern
mode.
nThe function assigned to the Controller by the Controller Set function can be applied only to the internal tone generator block. Operating the Controller will
transmit the MIDI message (Control Change Number assigned below) to the external MIDI instrument.
Assigning Control Change numbers to the controllers
The functions assigned to the controllers by the Controller Set function can be applied only to the internal tone generator block.
For connected external MIDI instruments, use of the controllers generates MIDI Control Change messages, as shown in the
chart below.
* These Controllers are not used in the Controller Set function
As shown above, the keyboard Aftertouch, Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel, Footswitch connected to the SUSTAIN
connector, were originally designed for a particular purpose, and send pre-defined MIDI Control Change messages when used,
regardless of their Control Set allocations within the synthesizer. For example, when the pan function is assigned to the Pitch
Bend Wheel with the Controller Set, using the Pitch Bend Wheel will apply the pan function to the internal tone generator and will
transmit the Pitch Bend messages to the external MIDI instrument.
Using the other controllers will transmit the Control Change messages set from the display shown above to the external MIDI
instrument while it will apply the functions set via the Controller Set to the internal tone generator block.
You can also set up a controller such that it sends one kind of Control message to the synthesizer’s internal tone generator yet
another kind to the external MIDI instrument. For example, in a Controller Set you could assign Resonance to the ASSIGN Knob
1. Then, in the Utility mode, you could assign Control Change Number 1 (modulation) to the same knob. Now, when you turn the
knob, resonance will be applied to the sound of the internal tone generator block; however, at the same time, modulation
messages will be transmitted to the external MIDI instrument.
