EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
Section 7 — Voice Parameters
• WHEEL — Modulation Wheel
Controller information generated from a modulation wheel is assignable
wherever a modulator is selected. To use a mod wheel for vibrato (one
common application) WHEEL must be assigned to modulate the LFO, and the
LFO Amount set to some number other than zero on the EDIT/Pitch page. The
mod wheel's effect is positive-going only, from 0 (wheel towards you) to +99
(wheel away from you). Negative modulation amounts will reverse the effect.
• PEDAL — Voltage Control Foot Pedal
This selects the optional CVP-1 Foot Pedal, which can be plugged into the
Pedal•CV jack on the EPS-16 PLUS rear panel as a modulator. Its effect will
be the same as that of the mod wheel. It can be applied wherever a modulator is
selected.
Note that the Foot Pedal will only act as a modulator when the Pedal Function
Select parameter is set to PEDAL=MOD on the EDIT/System•MIDI page.
When that parameter is set to PEDAL=VOL the Foot Pedal will act as a volume
pedal, not as a modulator (though this has no effect on incoming MIDI Foot
Pedal data). See Section 2 — System Controls for more details.
• XCTRL — External Controller (MIDI only)
An external controller such as a Breath Controller, Data Entry Slider, etc.,
which is received via MIDI from another synthesizer or controller, can be
assigned as a modulator within your EPS-16 PLUS instruments. On the MIDI
Control page, you select the number of the external controller that will be
recognized by the EPS-16 PLUS.
For example, if you have a keyboard with a Breath Controller,
• Connect its MIDI Out to the EPS-16 PLUS MIDI In;
• Make sure both instruments have controllers enabled (EDIT/System•MIDI
page);
• Select Breath Controller as the external controller that will be received by the
EPS-16 PLUS (XCTRL=02, also on the EDIT/System•MIDI page);
• Assign XCTRL as a modulator for LFO level, Filter Cutoff frequency, or some
other manual level within a Wavesample, as shown later in this section; and
• Play the sound from the controller keyboard, while blowing into the Breath
Controller connected to the sending instrument. The modulation will have the
same effect as if you were playing from the sending instrument.
