Real-time parameters (pitch, filter cutoff, level, LFO to pitch modulation, etc.) can be
assigned to MIDI control source A (see PRESET DEFINITION 9 for more information
about control sources). You may then assign each MIDI control source to correspond to
specific MIDI controller on another synthesizer.
Example: Suppose a second MIDI unit’s vibrato controller is assigned to MIDI control
number 01, and that MIDI control source A on Emax II controls the filter cutoff
frequency. Selecting 01 for MIDI control source A would control Emax II’s filter cutoff
frequency via the second MIDI unit’s vibrato information. (Assuming, of course, that the
Emax II and the other MIDI unit are connected via MIDI.)
This step of the set-up procedure lets you assign a number to the MIDI control source
that matches up with the number of the controller “transmitting” data from a MIDI unit
into the Emax II. (For more information on controller numbers, see the MIDI supple-
ment.) Controller numbers are assigned in exactly the same manner as you assigned a
controller number to the Left Wheel in step 9.

cursor key to continue the setup.
14. The next display shows:
MIDI B <-> 01
[00-33] / Slider
Assign a controller number to control source B in exactly the same manner as you
assigned a controller number to control source A in step 13.
This completes MIDI setup for the current preset. To return to the module identifier
press ENTER, or if you want to change some parameters, dial them in with the cursor
buttons.
MIDI A and MIDI B can be thought of as "patchcords" which connect the MIDI
Continuous Controller channels to the proper Realtime Control destination.
