MIDI REALTIME CONTROLS
The MIDI realtime controllers may seem confusing at first, but they
are really very simple to understand. You probably already know that
there are 16 MIDI channels that can be used. Each of the 16 MIDI
channels uses basically 3 types of messages;
note on/off
,
program
changes
, and
continuous controller
messages. Your MIDI keyboard, in
addition to telling Planet Phatt which note was played, may also send
realtime control
information, which simply means occurring in real
time or live. (You may be using a MIDI device other than a keyboard,
but for simplicity's sake we'll presume that you're using a keyboard.)
Realtime control sources include such things as pitch wheels or levers,
modulation wheels or levers, control pedals, aftertouch, etc. and are
used to add more expression or control. Your MIDI keyboard sends out
realtime controller information on separate
continuous controllers
.
There is a set of 32 continuous controllers for each of the 16 MIDI
channels. Some of the controllers, such as pitch wheel, volume, and
pan have been standardized. For example, volume is usually sent on
continuous controller #7.
Common realtime controllers such as the modulation wheel
(or mod
wheel)
, volume, pan and pressure are pre-programmed to their proper
destinations. Your keyboard may have other realtime controls such as
a control pedal or data slider which can also be programmed to con-
trol most of the parameters on Planet Phatt.
Planet Phatt is equipped with a sophisticated
MidiPatch™ system
,
which allows you to route any continuous controller to any realtime
modulation destination. The MidiPatch system is also very easy to use.
First, you must know which controller numbers your keyboard can
transmit.
••• MIDI wind controllers
may work better if you assign
one of the MIDI A, B, C, D
controllers to control volume.
This will allow the MIDI
volume to be
added
to the
current volume.
