Controls
Tip: Realtime functions usually control
the entire keyboard. However, when making
up a preset, it is possible to exempt certain
zones from realtime control. This is
described in Dynamic Processing, 8.

Remember: The realtime control
assignments are only one-half of the
connection. The MIDI continuous controller
numbers are assigned in the Master/Global,
MIDI submodule.
Realtime controls allow complex and expressive controls over the sound
in real-time, hence their name. Realtime controls can be continuously
varied over time and are designed for fast, easy selection while playing
live. Each preset can have its own unique set of pre-programmed
realtime functions.
The realtime control sources must be connected to a destination in order
to have any effect. The second line of the display shows the realtime
control source and the third line shows the destination (or what will be
controlled by the source). Refer to the following diagram.

MIDI continuous controller number numbers are matched to your keyboard in the MIDI submodule.
The Realtime Controls submodule programs what these controllers actually do.
For example, in order to have the pitch wheel of your keyboard control
the pitch of the ESI, it must be assigned to pitch. Set the Pitch Control to
be the source and the pitch as the destination. To make the right wheel
control the amount of vibrato (LFO to pitch), set Mod Control as the
source and LFO-> Pitch as the destination.

Despite their names: Pitch Control, Mod Control, Pressure Control and
Pedal Control, any of the realtime controls can be assigned to any MIDI
continuous controller number. The continuous controller number is
assigned in the Master/Global, MIDI (9) submodule.
What the controllers actually
do is assigned here.
