Using Controllers

Control Sets (Voice Common Edit [F4])

Keyboard aftertouch, the controllers and some of the

sliders on the front panel can be assigned to control

various parameters other than the ones set as

defaults, as explained on page 53. For example, the

Modulation wheel could be assigned to control ﬁlter

resonance, while aftertouch could be used to apply

vibrato. This provides enormous ﬂexibility in

controlling parameters and setting up the controllers

to suit the kind of sound being played.

These controller assignments are known as Control

Sets. As the following illustration shows, you can

assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice.

Within each Control Set, the controller is known as

the Source (Src) and the parameter controlled by the

Source is known as the Destination (Dest). There

are various Dest parameters available; some will

apply to the Voice as a whole, while some will be

speciﬁc to each of its Elements. Details are given in

the Controls List of the separate Data List.

n Details about the available Dest parameter settings

are given in the Destination Parameter List of the

separate Data List.

n The Element Switches (Voice Common Edit [F4]

Ref. #117) will be disabled if the Dest parameter

setting is not speciﬁed for the Elements (i.e., to

settings 00 to 33).

n Elements ON/OFF switch is available only when a

Normal Voice is selected.

■ Using one source to control several

destinations

By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds in a

variety of ways.

For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of

Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the

Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM (Element

LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Src

parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW, but set the

Dest parameter to ELM PAN (Element Pan). You

will also need to specify the Element to be controlled

and also the depth (amount) of control.

In this example, when you move the Modulation

Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation

increases accordingly, and the Element is panned

from left to right. In this way, you can have the

sound change in several different ways, simply by

adjusting a single controller.

■ Using several sources to control one

destination

Continuing from the example above, now create

another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot

Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM (Element

LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Again, specify the

Element to be controlled and also the depth of

control.

Doing this assigns Pitch Modulation to both the

Modulation wheel and Foot Controller. In this way,

you can assign several different Src controllers to a

single Dest parameter.

By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a

stunning degree of real-time control over the

synthesizer’s sounds.
