Do These Parameters Always Mean
Something?
Be careful not to set up parameters that will do crazy things.
When in doubt, leave things off, or at the factory default settings.
On some of the higher-numbered MIDI controllers and Special
Function controllers, the On and/or Off values donÕt have any
meaning, because the controllers have very limited functionality.
The following list shows these. Ò>0Ó means you can use any
value thatÕs greater than zero. Ò=0Ó means the value should be 0.
ÒxÓ means you can use any value. ÒÖÓ means that you must use a
speciÞc value:
MIDI Controller
120 All Sound Off
121 Reset All Controllers
122 Local Control
123 All Notes Off
124 Omni mode Off
125 Omni mode On
126 Mono mode On*
127 Poly mode On
* The On Value, in some synths, speciÞes the number of MIDI channels
to respond to, with one voice on each.

Do I Need All Those Controllers?

You donÕt have to plug in a physical controller to take advantage
of it. Even if a physical controller isnÕt there, you can use its
parameters to create additional ÒFixedÓ controllers.
If you want to send commands that you know wonÕt change
while youÕre playing, assign Destinations and Entry and Exit
values to physical controllers that arenÕt in use. When you choose
