Controlling using the various controllers
Here’s an explanation of some typical ways to use the various controllers.
You can select “MIDI CC#0” through “MIDI CC#119” for the Foot Pedal and Switch parameters in sys-
tem settings.
CC#64: Damper Pedal [Bn, 40, vv]
(Standard: DAMPER jack)
This transmits a CC message when you operate the damper pedal (DS-1H, included) that’s connected
to the DAMPER jack, turning the damper effect on/off.
The DS-1H can also be used for a half-damper effect. When this message is received, an effect similar
to operating the damper pedal is applied.
CC#80: SW1 Modulation [Bn, 50, vv]
CC#81: SW2 Modulation [Bn, 51, vv]
(Standard: SW1 button, SW2 button)
When you operate the SW1 or SW2 buttons, vv=127[7F] is transmitted for ON and vv=0[00] is trans-
mitted for OFF, which switches the effects that are set for each program on/off. When this message is
received, the result is similar to operating the SW1 or SW2 buttons (OFF when the value is 63[3F] or
less, and ON when the value is 64[40] or more).
CC#66: Sostenuto [Bn, 42, vv]
When the CC numbers shown above are set for the “Foot - Switch” function in system settings and
you operate the sostenuto pedal, vv=127[7F] is transmitted for ON and vv=0[00] is transmitted for
OFF, which toggles the sostenuto effect on/off. When this message is received, the result is similar to
operating the foot switch (OFF when the value is 63[3F] or less, and ON when the value is 64[40] or
more).
CC#67: Soft Pedal [Bn, 43, vv]
When the CC numbers shown above are set for the “Foot - Switch” function in system settings and
you operate the soft pedal, vv=127[7F] is transmitted for ON and vv=0[00] is transmitted for OFF,
which toggles the soft pedal effect on/off. When this message is received, the result is similar to oper-
ating the foot switch (OFF when the value is 63[3F] or less, and ON when the value is 64[40] or
more).
Sound generator operation and initialization
Some special control change messages are used to initialize sound generators. These settings can
only be received by this instrument, and can’t be transmitted.
CC#123: All Notes Off [Bn, 7B, vv]
CC#120: All Sound Off [Bn, 78, vv]
When an All Notes Off message is received, all notes that are currently playing on that channel are
turned off.
This works in the same way as when you take your fingers off the keys, so the release portion of the
sound (the part of the sound that rings out) is still heard.
On the other hand, when an All Sound Off message is received, although all sounds that are currently
playing on that channel are turned off, not only the notes but also the sound itself stops, so the
release portion of the sound is not heard.
These “mute” messages are used only in emergencies, and are not used when you’re playing.
CC#121: Reset All Controllers [Bn, 79, vv]
When this message is received, the values for all controllers operating on that channel are reset.
