Assignable controllers
You can assign one of a number of MIDI functions to the P-100’s [CS] slider for realtime control during performances.
You can use this slider to independently control the volume of the main or sub voices, to transmit aftertouch messages
to tone generators capable of receiving them, or to send any of 120 different types of control change messages (with
the exception of control changes 0 and 32, which are used for bank select messages).
If you purchase an optional foot controller (Yamaha FC7), you can assign a function to it as well. In addition to the full
range of functions mentioned above, the foot controller can be assigned as an overall volume control. You can then use
it instead of the [VOLUME] slider, leaving your hands free to do other things. Adding a second realtime controller to
your P-100 will thus allow you to increase your P-100’s performance flexibility.
1.
Enter MIDI Utility mode.
Press the [CS] button while holding down the [MIDI] button.
The current [CS] slider function assignment will appear in the
display. (To assign a function to the foot controller, press the
[FC] button instead of the [CS] button.)
2.
Select the desired setting.
Use the [DATA ENTRY] slider or the [-l] and [+1] buttons to
select the function you wish to assign to the controller.
The table below shows the possible assignment values.
(Note that overall volume control can only be assigned to the
foot controller, and not to the [CS] slider.)
