Controlling Alpha Mod. externally

The Alpha Mod. external controller is set up in the I/O Setup,
CTRL page. This controller is used to both send and receive
control values to and from the Alpha Mod., e.g. if the Alpha Mod.
is set up to be controlled by MIDI controller #7, the movements
of the Alpha Mod. will be sent out on that controller as well.

The Alpha Mod. wheel

The Alpha Mod. wheel can be used as a realtime modifier and
has several setup possibilities. The Alpha Mod. can be connected
to several parameters simultanuously. It can be controlled
externally or work as an external controller for other devices by
sending out control information via MIDI. The LED bar above
the Alpha Mod. shows the current position of the wheel. The
exact setting and connections of the Alpha Mod. wheel is
displayed in the Alpha Mod. display.

by the Alpha Mod. wheel. Use the Parameter wheel to scroll
