F6 = CONTROL
PgmCtl1 and PgmCtl2 (knob 1), in combination with Matrix# 1 to 4, make up the
Controller Matrix for the global Program parameters. It is very helpful at this point
to take a look at the illustration in the Owner's Manual (page 136). The illustration
shows that you can assign a parameter to each of four MIDI Controllers (or
Pitchbend / Aftertouch). In addition, you can specify whether the Offset will be
effective only in the positive direction or in both directions. Finally, a value range
between 0 and 63 can be programmed.
On the page "Reset" you can specify for each MIDI channel whether the Control
values are reset after a Program change (on) or not (off).
Besides Portamento, S/H Speed, AD Pan, AD Level, and Program Level, almost all
effect parameters are controllable.
By controlling the A3000 from an external sequencer, you can use virtually all control
change numbers. When playing the A3000 from a MIDI keyboard, all physical
controllers of the keyboard (modulation wheel, pitchbend wheel, pedals, aftertouch
…) and the knobs 2–5 of the A3000 are usable. For more on this topic, see the section
UTILITY – PANEL PLAY.
You should be economical with the allocation of controllers though, since you will
want to use these for realtime sound control, which is an equally interesting option
(see section EDIT – MIDI/CTRL).
The command functions are the same as on the PLAY/PROGRAM page.
