16 Channel Control Mode CC Number
This is the continuous controller number that will be used for all 16 knobs when
the 16 Channel Control mode is enabled. See
page 27 .
16 Channel Control mode is a special performance mode in which all 16 knobs send
one CC number on MIDI channels 1 through 16. This allows you to control one
parameter on all 16 MIDI channels. For example, if the controller number were set to #7
(Channel Volume), the knobs could be used to mix the volume of all 16 MIDI channels.
Pitch Wheel Settings
The pitch wheel can either be programmed as a
MIDI pitch bender or set to any MIDI
continuous controller number with an initial
setting, CC number and MIDI channel.
The normal use for the spring-loaded pitch
wheel is a pitch bender. A pitch wheel is a
special type of MIDI controller with higher
resolution and its own dedicated CC channel.
When any alphabetical character is typed into the CC channel number field, the entry
changes to read “PW”, and the control operates as a pitch wheel. (The “Restore Pitch
Wheel” option in the Edit menu also sets this controller to the Pitch Wheel function.)
When moved with the mouse, the screen wheel jumps back to the center setting
when released, just like its counterpart on the Xboard. You can pre-set the initial
setting of the Pitch Wheel by typing a number into the value field.
If a number from 0-127 is entered in the CC fields, the wheel becomes an ordinary
continuous controller and the screen wheel no longer jumps back to the center
position when released.
The MIDI Channel field allows you to set the MIDI channel for the pitch wheel.
This field is unavailable unless the “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option is
selected. (See
page 49 .) Note that it is possible to use this control to set the pitch
wheel to a MIDI channel other than the one the keyboard is using.
Mod Wheel Settings
The modulation wheel settings are program-
mable just like the other controller knobs with an
initial setting, CC number and MIDI channel.
The MIDI Channel field allows you to set the
MIDI channel for the mod wheel. This field is
unavailable unless the “MIDI Channel Number
Per Control” option is selected. (See
page 49 .)
You will normally leave the Mod Wheel set to its default setting of CC 1, since this
is a standard function on every MIDI synthesizer.
