Using Control Changes To Control Parameters - Yamaha 007POTO-G0 Owner's Manual

Using control changes to control parameters

You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder opera-
tions, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the LS9. 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 62 and 63 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Sig-
nificant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted control change messages of control
change number 6 (or 6 and 26) to specify the value of that parameter.
The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.
