[RCV CTL] - Receive Continuous Control Message
RCV CTL allows external MIDI Continuous Control messages to be used as assignable controls
for the Effects parameters and system control.
The idea is to first select the TimeFactor parameter or function that you want to externally
control (Mix for example) and then select either MIDI Bend or the MIDI CC with which you
want to control it.
Here’s how it works:
Press the Encoder to select RCV CTL. You will see two fields (split display) of the Billboard
display showing Parameter destination and Control source assignments. An arrow pointing to
the left (Parameter) is flashing (if its not, press the Left Footswitch to select this field) showing
this to be the selected field for editing.
To Setup Parameter Destination
Turn the Encoder knob to select an external control destination - the TimeFactor parameter or
function which will be controlled from an external source. The choices are:
BYP – Bypass the unit
BK + – Increment Bank number switch function
BK - – Decrement Bank number switch function
TAP – Tap tempo switch function
RPT – Repeat function
P/B – Toggle between Play and Bank Mode
