Matrix#
Knob 2
Selects the matrix entry for editing. You can use the matrix to set up six controllers.
Each matrix entry sets up a different controller.
Device
Knob 3
Use this setting to select the external physical controller that you want to set for opera-
tion with the sample. The setting selects one of the controllers on your external MIDI
device. You can then use Knob 4 (and also the SmpCtl2 page) to determine how this
controller affects the playback of this sample.
You select the controller by its controller number (sometimes called control-change
number). Each controller number identifies a specific controller, as set forth in the
MIDI standard.
In addition, you may also select PB (pitchbend) and AT (aftertouch) controls. The MIDI
standard defines these controls differently from the others, so they do not have their
own controller numbers.
Most MIDI devices are equipped with the following physical controllers.
Controller
Modulation wheel
Breath controller
Foot controller
Volume controller
Expression pedal
You are free to select any of the above controllers, or any other of the controllers (con-
trol numbers) available on your equipment. But note the following points.
• It is recommended that you do not use controller numbers 000 and 032, as many
MIDI devices use these numbers for bank selection purposes.
• The volume controller (007) always controls volume. You may select a different func-
tion for this controller, but it will continue to control volume at the same time.
• If you set PB (the pitchbend wheel) to a function other than "-----", the pitchbend
wheel will control the selected function only (and will lose its normal pitch-bending
effect).
You can input your controller-number selection directly from your MIDI keyboard. First
press Knob 2 so that the indicator lamp (directly above the knob) begins blinking, and
then operate the appropriate controller at the keyboard. The controller's controller
number will then appear on the screen directly above the knob. Push the knob again (or
move to another page) to terminate this MIDI-entry mode and register the new setting.
