The Controllers
Controller Views
In the PLAY mode, function buttons
¡
through
§
are used to select “controller
view” displays that list all controller assignments for the currently selected voice. In
particular,
¡
through
¢
display the assignments for the controller parameters listed in
the preceding chart (you can press the
]
button at any time to return to the normal
play-mode display).
The controller parameters are listed in the left column of the controller view dis-
play, and the controllers assigned to them are listed in the center column. Note that the
right column is empty. This is because the AltoSax voice used for this example only uses
one element, so the controllers are listed in the central “
Element1
” column. In a voice
that uses two elements the “
Element2
” controllers are independently assignable and are
listed in the right column.
In this example we can see that the breath controller is assigned to control “ Pres-
sure
” and “
H.Enhancer
” (the Harmonic Enhancer). The pitch wheel controls both
“
Pitch
” and “
Embouchure
”, and the modulation wheel (MODULATION 1) controls
“
Vibrato
”. Keyboard aftertouch controls the “
Throat
” parameter. The remaining
parameters are currently “
off
” and therefore have no effect on the sound.
NOTES
■
The
∞
(“
Cnt5
”) and § (“
CS
”) function buttons access controller
views that deal with different types of controllers. These will be summarized in
the “Other Controller Views section on page 47 of this manual.
