Changing Control Change numbers
The functions assigned to the controllers by the Controller Set and ASSIGN A/B functions are applied only to the internal
tone generator block.
For connected external MIDI instruments, use of the controllers generates MIDI Control Change messages, as assigned in
the chart below.
* The MO does not have the following MIDI controllers: Aftertouch, Ribbon Controller, Foot Controller 2 jack, or Breath Controller jack. However, keep in mind
that if the same MIDI Control Change messages as set here are received from an external device, the internal tone generator also responds to those
messages as if the unsupported/unavailable MIDI controller was used on the MO.
Conventional controllers, such as Modulation wheel, will affect connected MIDI instruments in their conventional way. For
example, when the pan function is assigned to the Modulation wheel under Controller Set, using the Modulation wheel will
apply the pan function to the internal tone generator, but will transmit the Modulation messages to an external MIDI
instrument.
Keep in mind also that if the same MIDI Control Change messages as set here are received from an external device, the
internal tone generator also responds to those messages as if the controller on the MO itself was used.

Using the Controllers for two different functions
You can also set up a controller such that it sends one kind of Control message to the internal tone generator of the MO,
yet another kind of message to the MIDI Out. For example, in a Controller Set you could assign Resonance to ASSIGN
1 (Knob 3). Then, in the Utility mode, you could assign Control Change number 1 (modulation) to the same Knob. Now,
when you move Knob 3, resonance will be applied to the sound of the internal tone generator block, while modulation
messages will be transmitted to the external MIDI instrument.
