Chapter 4 CONTROL Function Knob 1 Knob 2 Knob 3 Change Page Select P/S • Turn the knob to change to a different page within the CONTROL function. Available pages are: PgmCtl1 (this page), PgmCtl2, and Reset. • Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (95) Matrix# = 1,...,4 Selects the matrix entry for editing. You can use the matrix to set up four controllers. Each matrix entry sets up a different controller. Device = 000,...,120, AT, PB MIDI IN Use this setting to select the external physical controller that you want to set for operation with the A3000. The setting selects one of the controllers on your external MIDI device. You can then use Knob 4 (and also the PgmCtl2 page) to determine how this controller affects the playback of this program. You select the controller by its controller number (sometimes called control-change number). Each controller number identifies a specific controller, as set forth in the MIDI standard. In addition, you may also select PB (pitchbend) and AT (aftertouch) controls. The MIDI standard defines these controls differently from the others, so they do not have their own controller numbers. Most MIDI devices are equipped with the following physical controllers. Controller Modulation wheel Breath controller Foot controller Volume controller Expression pedal Controller Number 001 002 004 007 011 You are free to select any of the above controllers, or any other of the controllers (control numbers) available on your equipment. You should generally avoid controller numbers 000 and 032, however, as many MIDI devices use these numbers for bank selection purposes. You can input your controller-number selection directly from your MIDI keyboard. First press Knob 2 so that the indicator lamp (directly above the knob) begins blinking, and then operate the appropriate controller at the keyboard. The controller's controller number will then appear on the screen directly above the knob. Push the knob again (or move to another page) to terminate this MIDI-entry mode and register the new setting. Chapter 4 PLAY Mode 137
