Let's say for example, that you are using a Yamaha DX7 as your master
keyboard. The DX has pitch and mod. wheels, a breath controller, a
data slider and a foot pedal, all of which transmit their values over
MIDI. The standard MIDI controller numbers for the controls are listed
below (the pitch wheel has a dedicated controller, PWH). First, we
would go to the Master menu, MIDI Controller Assign and define the
4 MIDI controllers that we wish to use. Assign each controller number
to one of the letters
A-B-C-D.

01 - Modulation Wheel

02 - Breath Controller

04 - Foot Pedal
06 - Data Entry
To complete the connections for a particular preset, go to the Edit
menu, Realtime Control, and route the MIDI A, B, C, D to the desired
destinations. These could be patched to any 4 destinations or even to
the same destination. The MIDI Controller Amount menu, (in the Edit
menu) allows you to scale the amounts of each of the controllers by a
positive or negative value. The signal flow is shown in the diagram
below.
