Controller Assignments

The Controller Assignment function allows for specific Blue Thunder

the "VOLUME" parameter, an upper limit of +100 can be set and a lower limit of -0 can be set - even
though the actual parameter range is from +0 to +127. When the expression pedal is at its heel position
in this example, the "VOLUME" parameter will be at -0, while at its toe position it will be at +100. Up
to ten controllers can be assigned for each individual preset.

function. This parameter allows you to select a controller number for the "CTR A" (Controller

This parameter (CTR A only) also gives you the option of selecting "ADJ". When "ADJ" is
selected, the parameter assigned to the first controller (PA-A) can be instantly accessed by
turning the PARAMETER ADJUST control when the preset title is displayed. This allows you
to access a parameter that you adjust frequently without paging through function headings
and parameters.
