Control
Changes
"Control
Change" is one of the eight "families" of
MIDI Commands.
Within
this ONE family, there are 128 different CONTROLLERS. Not all are
used. Some are used A LOT. Here are the most common ones and consequently,
the ones we will use in this class. The Controller Numbers are given
in both Hexadecimal and Decimal:
MODULATION
($01; #01)
VOLUME ($07; #07)
PAN ($0A; #10)
SUSTAIN PEDAL ($40; #64)
REVERB ($5B; #90)
ALL CONTROLLERS OFF ($79; #121)
ALL NOTES OFF ($7B; #123)
