MIDI Controller List

MIDI Controller List
Some controllers adhere to the normal midi-specified use (eg modwheel, volume) but most are used arbitrarily (and therefore may clash with parameter
assignments of other products). We have tried to avoid misuse of some "standard" controllers which could cause problems.
Unless noted, controllers are transmitted and received. Unless noted, parameters have the range 0-127.
*** denotes a signed value where 64 represents zero.
Unless noted, this is -64..0..+63 stored as 0..64..127
another example is -12..0..+12 stored as 52..64..76
--- denotes controller not used
Some controllers use the available 7 data value bits to control more than one parameter.
These are noted as "packed parameters" and details are given.
The term "pulse width" is properly applied when squarewave is selected.
For other waveforms, read "pulse width" as "double waveform phase offset".
Double waveform phase offset is zero when the signed pulse width position parameter is 64 (meaning 0).
Common parameters are transmitted and received on the global midi channel but in performance mode, they can also be received on the midi channel
of any active part.
