Control Change Messages

 

Gravitas can be controlled with MIDI control change messages. Below is a table that shows which MIDI control 
change channel controls each Gravitas parameter. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Gravitas Parameter 

CC# 

Description: 

Drive 

14 

Sending a value 0 would be equivalent to the knob  

Volume 

15 

being completely counter clock-wise, sending 127 is  

Tone 

16 

equivalent to fully clock-wise.  All numbers in between  

Rate 

17 

correspond to knob positions in between those 
extremes. 

Depth 

18 

 

Sway 

19 

 

Ramp 

20 

 

Midi Note Divisions 

21 

Sending value 0 sets divisions for whole notes, 1 for half 
notes, 2 for dotted eigth notes, 3 for quarter notes, 4 for 
eighth notes, and 5 for sixteenth notes. 

Tap Switch 

93 

You can send any value with this CC#, it will simulate 
pressing down the tap switch.  In short, it’s a way to set 
tap tempo via midi. 

Expression 

100 

Sending a value 0 would be equivalent to an expression 
pedal being completely “off”, sending 127 is equivalent 
to a fully depressed expression pedal.  All numbers in 
between correspond to knob positions in between those 
extremes.   As always, the dip switches on the pedal 
select which parameter(s) are being controlled via 
expression 

Bypass Switch 

102 

Sending a value of 127 engages the pedal, sending a 
value of 0 bypasses the pedal.  Furthermore, sending a 
value of 127 with the pedal already engaged will reset 
any ramping that is happening, if any ramping is 
happening.
