Controller Knobs
E-MU Systems 20
CONTROLLER KNOBS
The 16 Controller Knobs are designed to modify the sound during performance.
MIDI Continuous Controller messages are transmitted whenever the knobs are
turned (except when “Knob Bypass” is enabled).
Whenever a controller knob is turned, the current value of the knob is displayed
on the LED. Next, the letters “CC” flash on the display, followed by the MIDI
Continuous Controller assigned to the knob, then the letters “CH”, and finally the
MIDI channel on which the knob currently sends. To set the CC channel numbers
of the knobs see
page 27 .
Normal mode
Any MIDI Continuous Controller number can be assigned to any knob. For
instructions on setting this from the Xboard, see
page 27 . For help setting this
using the Xboard Control Software, see page 49 .
16 Channel Controller mode
In this mode, one MIDI Continuous Controller number is assigned to all 16 knobs
and each numbered knob transmits on the same-numbered MIDI channel. This
gives you control of one parameter (such as volume or pan) for all 16 MIDI
channels. See
page 27 .
3D MIDI and NRPN mode
Using the Xboard Control software, any of the 16 Controller Knobs can be
configured to run in 3D MIDI mode, or NRPN mode. For more information, see
page 50 .
