As a result of the assignment options for hand wheels and
pedals, the data type generated during reception and
transmission is the effective factor here, not the controller, i.e.
lever, pedal or wheel used to generate the data.
When information for a volume change (Volume) is transmitted
or received, the effect of these events is the same regardless of
whether the data were generated with a slider control, a wheel
or a pedal. The filter of page 3 therefore applies to the
transmitted controller number, which identifies the respective
events. For this reason, we distinguish between only 2 data
types:
1. Switches, which consist of few data (On and Off or program
number) and which hold information and program changes
are associated,
2. Continuous controllers, which register continuous changes in
the position of a control. These include the data of the
expression pedal, modulation and pitch bender movements.
The data that can be filtered here are listed according to the
controller numbers in the MIDI definition and according to the
hardware with which they are mainly generated:
