Programmable 
Knobs
If this parameter is set to “Ext,” or “Both,” the system sends MIDI controller 
messages when you turn the Controller knobs. If set to External, the knobs 
do NOT control internal synth parameters and only used as external MIDI 
controllers. When the programmable knobs are routed to “Seq” they can be 
recorded into the internal sequencer.

This cool feature allows 
your PX-7 to function as a MIDI 
Continuous Control center for 
other MIDI gear in your system. 
Just set up the programmable 
knobs as desired, then name 
and save the Multisetup.
Each knob can be programmed to send on any MIDI channel (01A-16B) 
and on any continuous controller number from 1-95 The “Controller 
Function Select” button (page 35) must be set to “Program” in order to 
transmit. The knobs only generate a message when you move a knob to a 
new value. The Controller Knob LEDs always remain off in this mode.
See the block diagram showing “Triggers & Programmable Knobs” on 
page 343 for detailed information about the actual routing path.
Hold TAP & hit TRIG MODE BUTTON to select trigger mode.
