Continuous Controller Messages From External MIDI Devices
WhenusinganexternalMIDI
devicewiththePC3,youcancontrolmanyofthePC3’sprogram
parametersbysendingMIDIContinuousControllermessages(CC’s)fromtheexternalMIDI
device.EachparameterthatyouwishtocontrolmusthaveaCCnumberassigned.Tocontrola
parameter,youmustsendthecorrectCCnumberto
thechannelwhichcontainstheprogram.
