5.5.7.3. Buttons
The Select buttons may be assigned to send one of the following types of data on any MIDI
channel or the User channel:
• Two specific values of MIDI CC data
• A specific RPN/NRPN message
• MIDI Program change / Bank Select messages
You can also specify a particular color for each button using the MIDI Control Center [p.61]. If
you choose the color blue to represent MIDI CC messages and the color green to represent
Program Changes, for example, then you'll know at a glance which button does what, even
on a darkened stage.
5.5.8. Pedals / CV connectors
5.5.8.1. CV Input

♪: To learn the quickest way to select the CV connectors in User Edit mode, see Selecting the CV
controls [p.44].
This rear-panel connector can receive incoming control voltages and turn them into MIDI
data that your DAW can use. The voltage range can be defined, as can the MIDI response
within that range. For more details see the the CV/Gate chapter [p.58].
5.5.8.2. Pedals
Each of the 5 pedal inputs can be set to respond to foot switches or continuously variable
pedals. The data types that can be sent are
• Switched Control: two specific MIDI CC values (toggle or gate operation)
• Program Change: MIDI Program change / Bank Select messages
• Control: MIDI Continuous Control data within a specific range
5.5.8.3. Control Voltage Outputs
These four outputs have very specific functions. We'll cover the details in the CV/Gate
chapter [p.58], so what we'll focus on here are the general concepts:
• Pitch Out: Translates MIDI note number into a control voltage
• Gate Out: Translates MIDI note on/off messages into high/low trigger voltages
• Mod 1: Translates MIDI velocity data into a control voltage by default, but another
source may be chosen
• Mod 2: Translates Modulation Wheel values into control voltages by default, but
another source may be chosen
