5. Controller block
About the controller block
The controller block lets you use the keyboard, assignable
knobs, and foot switch etc. to play music and control the tone
generator block via the sequencer block, or to directly control
the tone generator block or effect block.
The functions of the assignable knobs can be set in SETUP
submode (page 74).
The functions of the foot switch can be set in Utility mode
(page 132).
The output destination of the musical data transmitted from
the controller block is specified by the Keyboard Track set-
ting (page 27). The musical data is output as specified by the
Out Channel setting of the keyboard track, either to one of the
parts of the tone generator or to the MIDI OUT connector.
Relationship to other blocks
In Pattern mode, Pattern Chain mode and Song mode, the con-
troller block is connected to the various parts of the tone gen-
erator and to the MIDI OUT connector via the keyboard track
(recording track) of the sequencer block.
Data from the controller block passes from the keyboard track
to the parts of the tone generator block and to external MIDI
devices in accordance with the Out Channel settings “TO TG,”
and “MIDI OUT.”
From the controller block, you can record user phrases or song
tracks, or play the tone generator block or external MIDI de-
vices.
