Initial Controller Amount
Initial Controller 
Amount
This parameter sets the initial value of MIDI controllers A-P when the preset 
is first selected. The front panel Control Knobs can be thought of as front 
panel MIDI controllers because in the PX-7, they are treated just as if they 
originated from an external MIDI device. Refer to the following diagram. 
There are 4 Initial Controller Amount screens (A-D, E-H, I-L, M-P).
External MIDI controller numbers are assigned to the Letters A-P in the 
Controllers menu. The Initial Controller Amount value is sent to the 
PatchCord destination when the Preset is first selected. If you move the 
Control Knob, then that value replaces the initial value. If MIDI controller 
data is received it will similarly replace the knob or initial setting.
The Initial controller amounts can be set from 000-127 or they can be 
turned Off. If set to Off, the current controller value is used when the preset 
is first selected. Setting the Initial Amount to “off” uses the values from the 
previously selected preset.
