MIDI Learn Function
Here’s how to associate a MIDI control change with a sound parameter, so that the parameter can be
controlled by that MIDI message.
Procedure
1. Make only one of the ACTIVE [TONE A]–[TONE D] buttons light up for the tone in
which you want to set a MIDI control change message.
2. Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).
3. Choose “Learn MIDI CC.”
4. Operate your external MIDI device to transmit a control change message.
NOTE
5 MIDI control change messages are only set for the tone parameter controllers shown on the
main panel.
5 You can’t assign a MIDI control change message to a single tone parameter controller and
use that to operate multiple tones.
5 You can’t associate more than one MIDI control change with a single controller. Only the
most recent setting is used.
Cancelling
1. Right-click the sound parameter controller (knob or slider).
2. Choose “Forget MIDI CC.”
