Continuing from the example above, now create

 

 

another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot

 

Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM (Element LFO

 

Pitch Modulation Depth). Again, specify the Element

to be controlled and also the depth of control.

Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the

words, you can also assign several Src controllers to

 

 

each Dest parameter.

By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a stunning degree of real-time control over the synthesizer’s sounds.

Control Sets and External MIDI Control

In a Control Set, the controllers are assigned to the internal parameters of the synthesizer. However, some controllers 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, the Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch were originally designed to control pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch. Therefore, when you use these controllers, pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch information is always sent to the MIDI Out.

Let’s say the Pan parameter is assigned to the Pitch Bend Wheel in a Control Set. Now, when you move the Pitch Bend Wheel, the internal tone generator of the synthesizer will pan the sound; however, at the same time, the original pre-defined Pitch Bend messages will still be sent to the MIDI Out.

Pitch LFO1 PAN

The controllers can also send MIDI Control Change messages to control the parameters of external MIDI devices. These assignments can be set in the Utility Mode.

nSince Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch are pre-defined with specific MIDI controls, other MIDI Control Change numbers cannot be assigned to them.

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 MIDI Out.

For example, in a Control Set you could assign resonance to Assignable 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; however, at the same time, modulation information will be sent to the external MIDI device connected to the MIDI Out.
