Pitch Bend This “bends” a note from its standard pitch.
Continuous Controller Footpedals, breath controllers, and modulation wheels can
vary sounds as you play, thus adding expressiveness. MIDI allows for 64 continuous
controllers (these act like potentiometers in that you can choose one of many
different values) and 58 continuous/switch controllers (these can act like continuous
controllers but some are assumed to choose between two possible states, such as
on/off).
Each type of controller is stamped with its own controller identification number. Not
all controller numbers have been standardized for specific functions, but the following
indicates the current list of assigned controllers. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the
controller range.
