CONTROL CHANGE MODE

This is the mode for sending Control Change messages. In this mode, all the pedals can be used to send Control Change
messages. You should use this mode at times when you want to send a lot of Control Change messages.

* You can change the value of the controller numbers. See “Controller Number Settings” (p. 25).

* You can use the pedals to send Realtime messages and MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages.

For details, see “ABOUT REALTIME MESSAGES AND MMC MESSAGES” (p. 29).

Using the Control Pedal, Number Pedals, and Bank Pedals

Depressing the Control pedal, a Number pedal (1 to 10), or a Bank pedal (UP/DOWN) sends the
Control Change message for the controller number assigned to the corresponding pedal.
Depressing a pedal sends an ON 127 (7Fh) message, and depressing it again sends an OFF 0 (00h)
message. The indicator for the pedal lights up when on.

* The Control pedal is a momentary type pedal that sends an ON message when depressed and

an OFF message when released. You can change this to latch type operation, which sends an
ON or OFF message each time you depress it — see “Setting for Latch Type Control Pedal
Operation” (p. 21).

* The Bank pedal (UP/DOWN) is a latch type — see “Setting for Latch Type Pedal Operation” (p.

26).

Using the Expression Pedal

Operating the built-in expression pedal sends the value (0 (00h) to 127 (7Fh)) for Controller Number
7 (“main volume”).
