PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide
Controller Assignments
Here are a few of the guidelines which were used in determining control and knob assignments for the
programs in
Classic Keys
. These general rules should make it relatively easy to adjust the most basic pro-
gram settings when first scrolling and playing through the complete set of sounds. Keep in mind that
these are
general rules
, and there will be some exceptions. You can refer to the table which we have pro-
vided, to view the complete controller assignment information for each program.
ModWheel
Controls tremolo depth on most electric piano programs, controls envelope
shape on most ARP programs, and doubles as a "wah" controller on any
"wah" programs, for those users who do not have or use the
Continuous
Controller pedal
.
Knob A (MIDI 91)
Controls FX A wet/dry.
Knob B (MIDI 93)
Controls FX B wet/dry. (Note: Most programs in Classic Keys over-ride this
control in order to allow the program output to go through FX A and then
into FX B in series, as a
chain
.
Knob C (Data/MIDI 06)
Controls brightness (lopass or bandpass filter freq.) on many programs. Also
used to control the volume of certain layers within a program.
Knob D (MIDI 13)
Controls filter resonance on many programs. Controls tremolo, phaser, and
LFO rates. Also used to control the volume of certain layers within a
program.
Sw2 (MIDI 09)
This switch is located just to the right of the "Octave Shift" button, below the
MIDI Knobs. Used sparingly - consult Controller Assignment Table.
Sw4 (MIDI 29)
Located just above the pitchwheel. Used to enable layers on many programs.
Also used to enable certain effects such as phaser or chorus, when they are
generated in the synth engine (not the effects engine).
FtSw 1 (MIDI 64/Sustain)
Functions as a sustain pedal on almost all programs. Enables synth effect on
a select few.
CC Pedal (*MIDI 04/Foot)
Functions as a "wah" pedal on all of the "wah" programs.
To use the CC
Pedal as a “wah” pedal with ROM2, make sure that the CC Pedal
parameter is set to “MIDI 04/Foot” in the Global menu.
*
CC Pedal is set to MIDI 11/ Expression as the default.
