MIDI CONTROLLER SOURCES
CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION
PITCH BEND The pitch bend wheel or lever common on most synthesizers.
CONTROLLER #1 The Mod Wheel common on most synthesizers is designated
Controller #1 in the MIDI specification. It is called Controller #1
instead of Mod Wheel here since it is easier to display as "1" due to
the limits of the 7 segment LED displays.
AFTER TOUCH After a note is depressed, a pressure on the key will cause a MIDI
command. This ability is not available on all keyboards.
NOTE NUMBER Any MIDI note from keyboard, sequencer, or drum machine.
NOTE VELOCITY The target parameter will change in relation to how hard a key is
struck.
SUSTAIN PEDAL The common sustain pedal
found on most electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation
controller.
BREATH CONTROLLER The breath controller found on some electronic keyboards can be
used as a modulation controller.
VOLUME PEDAL The common volume pedal
found on some electronic keyboards can be used as a modulation
controller (MIDI Controller #7).
MOD PARAMETER DESTINATIONS
There are 6 parameters of the MIDIVERB III that can be modulated by
one of the above source controllers. These are called "targets" or
"destinations". They are:
