The Controller Destination List
The table below contains the available values for the MIDI CC (continuous controller)
destinations. Physical controllers can send MIDI values to these destinations in order to control
the parameters of PC3LE programs or external MIDI equipment. In Setup mode, these
destinations can be assigned for each controller on the Setup Editor Controllers page with the
Dest parameter, if the DestType parameter is set to Ctrl. By default, MIDI CCs sent from
physical controllers are sent to their zone’s program internally, and to the MIDI and USB outs on
their zone’s MIDI channel (to change these settings see Destination on page 7-8 and
Channel on page 7-6.)
In the PC3LE, MIDI CC destinations are best used to control external MIDI equipment. If you
want to control a program parameter, set the DestType parameter to Param on the Setup Editor
Controllers page. This has the same result as sending a MIDI CC to control a program
parameter, but saves you a lot of setup steps (Parameters also send their own CC numbers to the
MIDI and USB out ports by default.) If MIDI CC messages for destinations 0-127 are sent to
programs internally, programs will only respond to some of these CC destinations.
For controller messages sent to external equipment via the MIDI or USB out ports, destinations
0-127 will only perform their named function if the external equipment has the capability to do
so. Most of these named functions correspond to the MIDI standard for continuous controller
destinations.
Controller Destination numbers which are greater than 127 are sent as a PC3LE-specific
protocol, and are thus not sent as MIDI data through MIDI or USB out ports. Most PC3LE
programs respond to the controller destinations above 127, though some like 163 RiffOn or 176
ShKeyNum require additional circumstances or setup.
