Control Change Assign

The CTL Asgn. page is used to assign 03D parameters to MIDI Control Changes. Con-
trol Changes can be used to control 03D mix settings in real time. When an 03D mix
parameter is adjusted, a Control Change messages is transmitted. This message could
be recorded to a MIDI sequencer or controlling computer. When the sequence is played
back, the 03D parameter is adjusted automatically. Similarly, 03D mix settings can be
controlled by transmitting Control Changes from other MIDI devices. For example, a
synthesizer with assignable sliders. Up to 114 03D mix parameters can be assigned to
Control Changes 0 to 95 and 102 to 119 (Control Changes 96 to 101 cannot be used).
See Parameter to Control Change Table on page 268 for more information.
When using MIDI Control Change messages to control mix settings, be sure to config-
ure the MIDI Setup page. See MIDI Setup on page 235 for more information.
