PitchFactor User Guide System Mode

Note: While it is possible to assign more than one external controller to any parameter, doing

so is likely to cause confusion and is not recommended. Keep in mind that, if you have

previously assigned a MIDI CC to a control destination, you may want to clear the assignment

before setting up a new assignment. To clear, select the destination (parameter) and select

the source (MIDI CC) as [---].

To Setup the External Control Source

Press the Right Footswitch to select the external control source field for editing. There are two

ways to select an external control source - Manual Select or Learn Mode.

For Manual Select simply turn the Encoder to choose the MIDI Control Source. The choices

are:

BND – MIDI Pitch Bend

C0 - C99 - MIDI Continuous Controller messages from 0 to 99.

To use the Learn Mode to select the external control source, Press the Right Footswitch again.

“LEARN” is displayed prompting you to send a MIDI message for automatic Control Source

assignment. Press the Right Footswitch again to exit LEARN mode and revert to manual

source selection.

Press the Left and Right Footswitches to toggle between Source and Destination to make as

many assignments as you wish.

The default patch is unassigned [---] for all RCV CTL destinations.

Press the Middle Footswitch once to back-up one level to MIDI menu.

Press the Middle Footswitch twice to go to top level System menu.

[XMT CC] – Control knobs transmit MIDI Continuous Control

The default patch is as follows:

PDL>C15, KB0>C22, KB1>C23, KB2>C24,…,KB9>C31

XMT CC makes it possible to use PitchFactor’s Expression Pedal, Control Knobs and Aux

Switches as MIDI controllers.

Here’s how it works:

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

display showing Control Source and Destination assignments. An arrow pointing to the left

(Control Source) is flashing (if its not, press the Left Footswitch to select this field) showing

this to be the selected field for editing.

To Select the Control Source

Turn the Encoder knob to select the Control Source. The choices are:

PDL Expression Pedal

KB0…9 Parameter Control Knobs

TIP Aux Switch Tip

RNG Aux Switch Ring

T+R Aux Switch Tip+Ring
