5. Basic MIDI Control From Your Orca mini 25
5.1 MIDI Control Messages
There are 135 MIDI controller messages that are used for controlling the MIDI-adjustable parameters in your software or on your external
MIDI gear (0 to127 is the standard MIDI control parameter, 128 to 134 is the special MIDI control parameter). Examples of these
controllable parameters include volume, pan, expression, reverb, chorus and portamento.
The 8 assignable knobs and 16 assignable pads on your Orca mini 25 keyboard is able to send any of the 128 standard MIDI controller
messages to control such parameters. Please note that in order for these effects to work, the MIDI device you are sending to must be able
to receive these messages. A full list of these control messages is given in Appendix A.
For example, you may want to set the Knob1 to control the channel volume. This is done by assigning controller 7 to the Knob1 (first on
the left). Examples of other popular effects are listed in the table below. (Please consult Appendix A for the full list.)
