VI. Controllers
With the XP-60/80, you can assign various parameters, such as Volume (controller 7), or Panning (controller 10)
to the C1 and C2 Sliders. Once assigned, this information can be used to add expressiveness to your
performance. These changes can also be recorded to the sequencer. Use the following procedure to assign the
C1 Slider to Volume:
1) Press SYSTEM.
2) Press F4 (Control) repeatedly to access the Control Assign screen.
3) CURSOR to C1 Slider Assign and use the VALUE DIAL to select “CC07: VOLUME.”
4) CURSOR to Output and use the VALUE DIAL to select “INT” (slider will affect only internal XP-60/80 sounds).
Other options for Output are MIDI (Slider information sent through MIDI only), INT&MIDI (Slider information
sent to the internal sound module and through MIDI), and OFF.
When you are in Performance mode in the XP-60/80, the currently selected Part will be affected by the C1 and
C2 sliders as well as the Edit Palette and any pedals you have connected to the unit. When you are sequencing,
you can use the C1 slider to control the volume of your Part and the movements will be recorded in real time. This
is a great way to fade in or out parts of a song as well as balance instrument levels. Any controller assigned in
this way can be recorded in the sequencer. Here is a chart of useful controllers you can assign to the C1 or C2
sliders or to a pedal:

01 Modulation
02 Breath
05 Portamento Time
07 Volume
10 Panning
