remarks

1

Wind controller, steers the amount of noise in the sound.

LFO3 frequency applied to the filter.

Vibrato depth (LFO1 amplitude). To turn vibrato off, set this controller to 0.

20

4

Vibrato speed. (LFO1 frequency).

5

Tremolo depth, amplitude modulation. (LFO2).

Tremolo speed. (LFO2 frequency).

14

7

Global volume control. Can be used for crescendo and decrescendo effects whilst notes are sounding. This also affects the sound color of the instrument.

80

16

Note attack speed controller (0= slow attack, 127= fast attack) .

100

20

17

used to control the maximum sound level reached after the attack time. This controller is always larger than or equal to the level set by the velocity byte. For sfz or staccato playing, this controller must be set to high levels and the velocity byte kept rather low.

127

120

18

used to control the speed of the transition between the attack level once reached and the sustain or hold value set by the velocity byte.(0= slow transition, 127= fast transition)

90

85

19

used to control the release time after reception of a note off. Here again a value of 0 will give a slow release whereas a value of 127 will give a very fast release. Note that with very low values, the note may not even turn off completely. Note that if real note-off commands are used, the release value sent with them, if this value is not zero, will override controller 19, such that the value of controller 19 will be set to 128-release value.

96

89

20

Basic tuning of the instrument. The range is + or - a semitone. Tune to A=440Hz

64

64

22

Front-back position controller (0-63= backwards, 64=central, unpowered, 65-127= forwards).

64

23

Left-right inclination controller (discrete) (0-63= left, 64=central, unpowered, 65-127= right).

64

25

Filter cut off frequency.

62

100

26

Filter resonance amount.

90

81

27

Echo mix. Only use this for experimental sounds, as it can generate multiphonics.

0

28

echo feedback.Only use this for experimental sounds, as it can generate multiphonics.

0

29

LFO3, filter depth. (large values give a wha-wha effect)

20

10

30

Valve release time out.(only used for code development)

31

Does the same thing as aftertouch: fingered vibrato. However, it does not require to be sent again and again in a sequencer. The parameter sets the fingered vibrato speed.

0

40

Bendrange for the pitchbend. 0= no bending, 1=+/- 50 cents.

1

1

43

Wait time for vibrato start after reception of a note-on command. Note that in legato playing, vibrato will continue. The wait time starts again after a note off is received.

100

44

Wait time for the tremolo (AM modulation) to start after a note-on command.

10

19

66

Power on/off switch (0 = off, any other value is on). Power off, resets all controllers to their cold-boot values

100

special fingerings , bit settings for valves 1 to 7

0

101

special fingerings, bit settings for valves 8 to 14

0

102

special fingerings, bit settings for valves 15 to 18

0

123

switches the sounding note off, unpowers the movement solenoids, dims all the lights. Does not reset any controllers.
