Modulation Button - M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 User Manual

Modulation Button

It is possible to assign other MIDI controls to the Modulation button, such as:
• 01 Modulation
• 07 Volume
• 10 Pan (balance)
• 05 Portamento
There are 131 parameters in total including the 128 standard MIDI Control Change messages (MIDI CC's).
However, for these parameters to have any effect on the sound, the receiving MIDI device or software must be
able to read and respond to these MIDI effect messages. Most devices will at least respond to volume, modu-
lation, and pan data.
The process of assigning an effect to the Modulation button, and reverting to the default setting is explained
below.
For a full list of MIDI effects, refer to Appendix D, "Standard MIDI CC Numbers" on page 30.
