Using Control Changes to control parameters
You can use MIDI Control Change messages to control specified fader/knob operations, [ON] key on/off
operations, etc. on the RIVAGE PM series. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a
MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back the data later.
Using Control Changes
This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely assign an
operation to each control number.

NOTE
If using the DSP engine, connect the DSP engine with the external devices. The subsequent explanation is for when using
