CONTROL Function
Knob 1 Change Page Select P/S
• Turn the knob to change to a different page within the CONTROL function. Available
pages are: PgmCtl1 (this page), PgmCtl2, and Reset.
• Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (☞95)
Knob 2 Matrix# = 1,...,4
Selects the matrix entry for editing. You can use the matrix to set up four controllers.
Each matrix entry sets up a different controller.
Knob 3 Device = 000,...,120, AT, PB MIDI IN
Use this setting to select the external physical controller that you want to set for opera-
tion with the A3000. The setting selects one of the controllers on your external MIDI
device. You can then use Knob 4 (and also the PgmCtl2 page) to determine how this
controller affects the playback of this program.
You select the controller by its controller number (sometimes called control-change
number). Each controller number identifies a specific controller, as set forth in the
MIDI standard.
In addition, you may also select PB (pitchbend) and AT (aftertouch) controls. The MIDI
standard defines these controls differently from the others, so they do not have their
own controller numbers.
Most MIDI devices are equipped with the following physical controllers.
Controller Controller Number
Modulation wheel 001
Breath controller 002
Foot controller 004
Volume controller 007
Expression pedal 011
You are free to select any of the above controllers, or any other of the controllers (con-
trol numbers) available on your equipment. You should generally avoid controller num-
bers 000 and 032, however, as many MIDI devices use these numbers for bank selection
purposes.
You can input your controller-number selection directly from your MIDI keyboard. First
press Knob 2 so that the indicator lamp (directly above the knob) begins blinking, and
then operate the appropriate controller at the keyboard. The controller’s controller
number will then appear on the screen directly above the knob. Push the knob again (or
move to another page) to terminate this MIDI-entry mode and register the new setting.
