CONTROLLERS
The Controllers function lets you set the continuous slider (CS) assignment, the foot
volume assignment, and the foot controller initial value.
The W5/W7 s various controllers can send MIDI control change information, including
continuous type and on/off type control, as defined by the MIDI specification.

● ACCESSING CONTROLLERS
To access the Controllers function, from within the Utility
Mode main menu screen, position the cursor over CON-
TROLLERS and press ENTER, or simply press [F5] ( Ctrl ).
The Controllers screen will appear.
CS ASSIGN (off, 001 ~ 031, 033 ~ 119) - For
assigning the function of the continuous slider. The CS
may be used for controlling W5/W7 parameters and
MIDI data, as well as for sending control change
messages to external MIDI devices, since the CS will
transmit data using the MIDI control number you
specify. If you want to use the CS to control the W5/
W7 s voices, make sure that the MIDI control number
you assign to it matches the MIDI control number
selected for the parameter you want to control. (Control
change numbers 000 and 032 are used by the bank
select message and cannot be chosen.)
FOOT VOLUME ASSIGN (007: main volume, 011:
expression) - For setting the MIDI control change
number of the Foot Volume controller.
MAIN VOLUME - When set to 007 (main volume),
the W5/W7 foot control can function as the main
volume control. MIDI messages will be sent accord-
ing to the Foot Volume controller position. If the
Insertion Effect is on, the main volume is controlled
after the Insertion Effect, and the Expression Low
Limit assignment will not be effective.
EXPRESSION - When set to 011 (expression), the
foot controller functions as an expression pedal.
MIDI messages will be sent according to the Foot
Volume controller position, as determined by the
Expression Low Limit assignment (see Voice Edit
Mode, Controller function, page 122).
FC INIT VALUE (0 ~ 127) - For assigning the foot
controller initial value when the foot controller is not
connected. When using the foot controller in realtime, this
value has no effect. When receiving MIDI foot controller
messages, the value set here is the maximum value that the
W5/W7 will receive. (The value set here also determines the
reset value of the Synthesizer Setup Controller; see page
145, above.)
