External Controller-Midi Controller Setting - Yamaha Genos Reference Manual

External Controller—MIDI Controller Setting
The explanations here apply when you call up the "External Controller" display in step 2 on
By connecting an appropriate external MIDI device (such as a MIDI foot controller, computer, sequencer or master
keyboard) to Genos, you can conveniently control a wide range of operations and functions by MIDI messages
(control change messages and note on/off messages) from the device—for changing settings and controlling the sound
while you perform live. Different functions can be assigned to each of the messages.
Make sure to set the appropriate MIDI port and channel in this display for control by the external MIDI device.
1
Select the function assigned to each control change number or note number.
On this display, two types of settings (below) can be made:
• CC#7, 1, 2, 3, 4
The MIDI device sends a control change message to Genos, and Genos determines how it responds to (or, which
parameter is changed by) that control change number.
You also need to select the part to which the assigned function is applied.
• Other items (e.g., CC#0/C#-1)
The MIDI device sends a note on/off message to Genos, and Genos determines how it responds to (or, which func-
tion is executed by) that note number.
The same function can also be executed by sending the control change number corresponding to the note number
as shown in the display. For example, the control change number 0 corresponds to the note number C#-1. Control
change numbers 0–63 are regarded as Off, and 64–127 are regarded as On.
About the functions which can be assigned, refer to pages 139–141.
