Using Control Changes to control parameters

You can use MIDI Control Change messages to control specified events (fader/knob operations, [ON]
key on/off operations etc.) on the CL series console. This capability can be used to record fader and key
operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.
You can use Control Changes to control events in either of the following two ways.
■ Using Control Changes
This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely
assign an event to each control number.
■ Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)
This method uses a special type of Control Change messages called NRPN.
NRPN uses Control Change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB
(Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted Control Change
messages of Control Change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of that parameter.
The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.
NOTE
For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the Appendices (see
