NOTES

 

1)

 Any Controller is recognized on Basic channel. It is ignored if it is already assigned internally. It is re-transmitted on the incoming channel 

when Stringmode = Common. It is re-transmitted on the incoming channel and the 5 following channels when Stringmode = Separate. In this 
table “Recognized” is  only marked with “Yes” if the controller has a function additional to these assignments. 

2) 

Any Controller between 0 and 119 can be transmitted when assigned to the Wheel or used with one of the 3 Zone Controllers or the 

Pickcontrol feature. In this table “Transmitted” is  only marked with “Yes” if the controller has a function additional to these assignments. 

3) 

The effective Volume/Pan value depends not only on the incoming controller value, but also on several internal parameters
