Control Change Events

Control Change commands were designed to represent specific actions on MIDI devices, like pedals actuations and effects. For example, the Damper Pedal on a keyboard is often represented by controller number 64 (hex 40). Similar to MIDI Note commands, the MIDI data that is expected to be received is shown in the CIA and changes as you select event parameters. When finished configuring the control change event, press {OK} to store the event. Otherwise, press {Cancel} to undo the changes.

Message Structure

Program change messages have the structure BN XX YYY, where N represents the MIDI channel number, XX represents the controller number, and YY represents the data byte.

Options

The following options are available:

{Channel}

This should match the MIDI Channel for the note command (1-16, 0-F). If set to Any, the console will respond when any MIDI channel is sent a note command.

{Controller Number}

The controller number is any value between 0-127 (00-7F). Many devices will display this as 1-128 – if this is the case for your other device, subtract one from the desired controller number.

{Data}

The data parameter is any value between 0-127 (00-7F). Many devices will display this as 1-128 – if this is the case for your other device, subtract one from the desired data byte.
