Roland G-800 - Control change messages

G-800 Reference Manual
Note: On the G-800, CC32 messages are used to select the Tone mode: “0” (don’t leave current
Tone mode), “1” (Old, e.g. SC-55 mode, Groups C and D), and “2” (New, e.g. G-800 Tone mode,
Groups A and B).
Control change messages
These messages control parameters such as modulation and pan. The function of a message
is determined by its control change (e.g. ID) number.
E Modulation (control change number 1) *
This message controls vibrato.
mM Volume (control change number 7) *
This message controls the volume of a part. When this message is received, the volume of the
part receiving on that MIDI channel will change.
E Expression (control change number 11) *
This message conveys volume changes. It can be used to add expression. The volume of a
Part will be affected both by Volume messages (control change 7) and Expression messages
(control change 11). If a value of “0” is received for either of these messages, the part volume
will be O and will not rise even if the other message is sent with a higher value. Be aware of
this.
@ Pan(pot) (control change number 10) *
This message controls the stereo position of a part.
mM Hold (1) (control change number 64) *
This message conveys the up/down movements of the Damper (Sustain, Hold) pedal, causing
the currently sounding notes to be sustained. When a Hold On message is received, notes will
be sustained. In the case of decay-type instruments such as a piano, the sound will decay grad-
ually until a Hold Off message is received. In the case of sustain-type instruments such as an
organ, the sound will continue sustaining until a Hold Off message is received.
MH Sostenuto (control change number 66)
The Sostenuto pedal on a piano sustains only the notes which were already sounding at the
moment the pedal was pressed. The Sostenuto message conveys the movement of this pedal.
When Sostenuto On is received, only the notes which were already on at that moment will be
sustained.
Note: This function can be assigned to the optional footswitch (see page 35).
m Soft (control change number 67)
The Soft pedal on a piano softens the tone during the time the pedal is pressed. The Soft mes-
sage conveys the movement of this pedal. When Soft On is received, the cutoff frequency will
be lowered, causing a softer sound. When Soft Off is received, the previous sound will return.
Note: This function can be assigned to the optional footswitch (see page 35).
E Reverb Send Level (control change number 91)
This message adds a reverb effect to the part.
m Chorus Send Level (control change number 93)
This message adds a chorus effect to the part.
