MIDI Channel
This field allows you to set the MIDI channel for each knob. This field is “greyed
out” (and unavailable) unless the “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option is
selected (see below). Normally, all the controller knobs use the Basic MIDI
channel. The “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option allows you to select a
different MIDI channel for each knob, the wheels, and the footpedal. This feature
is only accessible from the Xboard Control software.
CC Type
From the CC type drop-down menu, there are three available types of continuous
controllers: CC mode, 3D MIDI mode, and NRPN mode.
CC Mode
This is the standard (and default) Continuous Controller mode.
The continuous controller is stepped in values from 0 through
127.
3D MIDI Mode
For Creative products, such as the X-Fi, that support
3D MIDI technology.
Val This field displays the exact initial position of the continuous controller
knob. Numeric values from 0 to 127 can be directly typed in.
CC The CC Channel number field allows you to set the MIDI continuous
controller number (0-127) for each knob. The Xboard CC numbers
must match the CC numbers on your synthesizer in order to operate.
Note: Don’t confuse MIDI channels with MIDI CC numbers. See
MIDI
Channels & Continuous Controllers” on page 64 for more information.
Val This field displays the exact initial position
of the controller knob. Numeric values from
0 to 16383 can be directly typed in.
3D The 3D number field allows you to set the 3D
MIDI parameter number (0-8) for each knob.
Right-click the 3D field to see and select from a
description of values 0 through 8 (values
above 8 are not currently used for 3D MIDI).
