Yamaha FX500 Operation Manual page 22

In order to use this kind of setup, the two "controllers" that
the FX500 allows — CONTROLLER 1 and CONTROLLER
2 — must be set to receive specific MIDI CONTROL
CHANGE data (i.e. receive data from a specific MIDI
controller) using the Control Change 1 Table Edit and
Control Change 2 Table Edit functions described below.
If NOTE ON VELCTY is assigned and a number of NOTE
ON messages are received simultaneously (e.g. a chord is
played), the NOTE message with the highest note number
takes priority.
NOTE:
The FX500 only receives control change data on
the MIDI channel specified using the MIDI Setup
function.
• Control Change 1 Table Edit
When this function is called the LCD appears as shown
below, and the A and ▼keys can be used to select the
desired MIDI control change number for controller 1.
• Control Change 2 Table Edit
This function operates in exactly the same way as Control
Change 1 Table Edit, above. The LCD appears as shown
below, and the
A
and ▼keys can be used to select the
desired MIDI control change number for controller 2.

• Assigning CONTROLLER 1 and CONTROLLER
2 to Specific Effects
Once the MIDI controllers you wish to use have been
selected using the Control Change 1 Table Edit and
Control Change 2 Table Edit functions described above,
you can then assign the controllers to the specific FX500
effect parameters. Control assignment is carried out in the
PARAM mode.
© First select the appropriate effect in the MEMORY
mode, then activate the parameter mode by pressing
the PARAM key (of course, this step is not necessary if
you're already editing an effect in the parameter mode).
(I) To assign CONTROLLER 1 to an effect parameter,
press the SEI7ASN key in the parameter mode and a
display similar to the following will appear.
Two other control sources which are not directly associated -
with MIDI control change numbers can also be selected: 85 CTRLl MIN-MAX
NOTE ON VELCTY (key velocity, an integral part of MIDI _VOLUME 0 100
NOTE ON data), and CHANNEL PRESS (channel
pressure).
