Control change
[Bn, cc, vv]
Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control change
no., vv: value)
Refer to "MIDI transmission when this instrument's control-
lers are operated" ( p.240) and "This instrument operations
when control changes are transmitted/received" ( p.242).
• Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in
"Ctrl Change (Control Change)" (GLOBAL 2.1–1b).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, the COMBI/SEQ
4.1–4.4: Ed-MIDI Filter 1–4 settings allow transmission/
reception of control changes to be individually turned
on/off for each timbre/track. For the assignable
controllers ([SW1], [SW2], REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–
[4] knobs, Foot Pedal/Switch), MIDI filter settings will
apply to the control change number to which each
controller is assigned. "Other Control Change" applies
to control changes that are not covered by the items of
the other check boxes ( p.56, 89).
MIDI CC#00–CC#95 can be selected for the B mode of
REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs and KARMA
REALTIME CONTROLS.
Selecting program/combination banks

Using the joystick to apply modulation
Modulation 1 depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]
When you move this instrument's joystick in the +Y direc-
tion (away from yourself), Modulation 1 Depth messages
will be transmitted. When these messages are received, the
same effect will be applied as when this instrument's joy-
stick is operated. Normally this will apply a vibrato effect
(pitch LFO).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/
reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track
( "JS+Y CC#01" COMBI/SEQ 4.2–1/2a).
Modulation 2 depth (CC#02) [Bn, 02, vv]
When you move this instrument's joystick in the –Y direc-
tion (toward yourself), Modulation 2 Depth messages will
be transmitted. When these messages are received, the same
effect will be applied as when this instrument's joystick is
operated. Normally this will apply a wah effect (filter LFO).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/
reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track.
( "JS–Y CC#02" COMBI/SEQ 4.2–1/2a)
Other manufacturers use this message for other pur-
poses (e.g., breath controller, etc.)
Controlling the portamento effect
Portamento time (CC#05) [Bn, 05, vv]
When the above CC# is assigned as a B mode function for
one of the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs, rotating
that knob will transmit Portamento Time messages, and will
modify the speed at which the portamento pitch changes.
When this message is received, the result will be the same as
when the controller is operated.
Portamento switch (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]
When the above CC# is assigned to "SW1," "SW2" or
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, operating that switch will transmit
vv=127 [7F] for ON or vv=0 [00] for OFF, and the
portamento effect will be switched on/off. When this mes-
248
sage is received, the result will be the same as when the con-
troller is operated. (vv of 63 [3F] or less will be OFF, and 64
[40] or greater will be ON.) ( p.230 "SW1, SW2 Assign
List")
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/
reception of this message can be turned on/off
independently for each timbre/track. ( p.55, 88
"Portamento SW CC#65" COMBI 4.1–2a, SEQ 4.1–3/4a)
• In Sequencer mode, portamento time/switch messages
will be transmitted by each track whose "Status" is
BTH, EXT, or EX2 when you set "Portamento" (SEQ 4.1–
3/4a), re-select a song or SMF, or return to the
beginning of a measure. ( p.83)
Controlling the volume
Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]
When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON-
TROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit
Volume messages, and the volume will change. When this
message is received, the result will be the same as when the
controller is operated.
Expression (CC#11) [Bn, 0B, vv]
When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON-
TROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit
Expression messages, and the volume will change. When
this message is received, the result will be the same as when
the controller is operated.
The volume of this instrument is determined by multiplying
the value of the Volume message with the value of the
Expression message.
If adjusting the Volume message does not increase the vol-
ume as you expect, or if there is no sound, transmit MIDI
messages from an external device to reset the value of the
Expression message (set vv to 127). In Sequencer mode, this
will be reset when the "Location" of the song is moved to
001:01.000.
• In Combination mode, Volume messages will be
transmitted by each timbre whose "Status" is EXT or
EX2 when you re-select the combination.
• When you change the "Volume" setting (SEQ/S.PLAY
1.1–4/5) in Sequencer mode or Song Play mode, or
when you re-select the song or return to the beginning
of the song in Sequencer mode, volume messages will
be transmitted by each track whose "Status" is BTH,
EXT, or EX2.
Regardless of the "Status" settings, re-selecting a song, or
returning to the beginning will reset the internal Volume
value to the value specified by each track (the starting
settings), and will reset the Expression value to the maxi-
mum.
You can control the volume independently for each
track. You will normally use Volume messages to set the
initial volume level for each track (the starting settings),
and use Expression messages to create changes in
dynamics within the musical data of the song.
By using the universal exclusive Master Volume message,
you can adjust the overall volume without changing the vol-
ume balance between timbres or tracks. ( p.252 "About
system exclusive messages")
