MIDI CONTROLLER SOURCES

CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION

PITCH BEND

The pitch bend wheel or lever common on most synthesizers.

CONTROLLER #1

The Mod Wheel common on most synthesizers is designated
Controller #1 in the MIDI specification. It is called Controller #1
instead of Mod Wheel here since it is easier to display as "1" due to
the limits of the 7 segment LED displays.

AFTER TOUCH

After a note is depressed, a pressure on the key will cause a MIDI
command. This ability is not available on all keyboards.

NOTE NUMBER

Any MIDI note from keyboard, sequencer, or drum machine.

NOTE VELOCITY

The target parameter will change in relation to how hard a key is
struck.

SUSTAIN PEDAL

The common sustain pedal

found on most electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation
controller.

BREATH CONTROLLER

The breath controller found on some electronic keyboards can be
used as a modulation controller.

VOLUME PEDAL

The common volume pedal

found on some electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation
controller

(MIDI Controller #7).

MOD PARAMETER DESTINATIONS
There are 6 parameters of the MIDIVERB III that can be modulated by
one of the above source controllers. These are called "targets" or
"destinations". They are:

MIDIVERB III MIDI PARAMETER TARGETS

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

Reverb Decay

Length of time before the Reverb dies can be modulated.

Delay Time

Length of time between repeats can be modulated

Delay Regeneration

Number of echo repeats can be modulated

Chorus Speed

How fast or slow the Chorus or Flange oscillates can be modulated

Reverb Level

The output of the Reverb can be remotely modulated

Delay Level

The output of the Delay can be remotely modulated

MOD ROUTING DISPLAY
The MIDIVERB III displays exactly which Mod Routing is currently selected via
the LED display. Of the three characters that will be displayed, the first
character on the left will always indicate which MIDI Controller source has been
selected. The second and third characters displays the MIDIVERB III
parameter selected.
