[RCV CTL] - Receive Continuous Control Message

RCV CTL allows external MIDI Continuous Control messages to be used as assignable controls

for the Effects parameters and system control. The idea is to first select the PitchFactor

parameter or function that you want to externally control (Intensity for example) and then

select either MIDI Bend or the MIDI CC with which you want to control it.

Here’s how it works:

Press the Encoder to select RCV CTL. You will see two fields (split display) of the Billboard

display showing Parameter destination and Control source assignments. An arrow pointing to

the left (Parameter) is flashing (if it’s not, press the Left Footswitch to select this field)

showing this to be the selected field for editing.

To Setup Parameter Destination

Turn the Encoder knob to select an external control destination - the PitchFactor parameter or

function which will be controlled from an external source. The choices are:

BYP – BYPass the unit

BK + – Increment Bank number switch function

BK - – Decrement Bank number switch function

TAP – Tap tempo switch function

FLX – Toggle FLEX/LEARN function

P/B – Toggle between Play and Bank Mode

KB0…9 - Parameter Control Knobs

FS1 – Left footswitch

FS2 – Middle Footswitch

FS3 – Right Footswitch

PDL – Foot pedal

ACT – Active (Enable Effect – unBypass)

TOG – Toggle between Active and Bypass

TUN – Enable/disable Tuner

After you’ve selected a Parameter Control Knob, you can set the parameter range that the

MIDI CC will control by setting minimum and maximum parameter values.

When a Parameter Control Knob designator is displayed (KB0… KB9), pressing the Left

Footswitch will display [MIN VAL]. Turn the associated Parameter Control Knob to set the

minimum value. For example, if KB0 was selected, turn the Intensity Control Knob to set the

minimum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the selected

parameter knob and times out to display the selected [MIN VAL] when the knob is idle.

Push the Left Footswitch again to set the maximum value for the selected Parameter Control

Knob. The Billboard will display [MAX VAL]. Turn the associated parameter knob to adjust the

maximum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the selected

parameter knob and times out to display the selected [MAX VAL] when the knob is idle.

MIDI CCs send values from 0 to 127. The minimum parameter value will be set when the

MIDI CC sends a 0 and the maximum parameter value will be set when the MIDI CC sends

127. MIDI CC values between 0 and 127 are mapped to the selected parameter range.

The parameters controlled in this mode are system-wide and will apply to all Effects and

Presets.

Note: You can set the minimum value to be greater than the maximum value. If you do so,

when the MIDI CC sends an increasing value, the parameter value will decrease.
