Full List of MIDI. CC Numbers MIDI cc 0 Controller Name Bank Select Modulation Wheel Comment Allows user to switch bank for patch selection. Program change used with Bank Select. MIDI can access 16,384 patches per MIDI channel. Generally this CC controls a vibrato effect (pitch, loudness, brightness). What is modulated is based on the patch. 10 11 Breath Controller Undefined Foot Controller Portamento Time Data Entry MSB Main Volume Balance Undefined Pan Expression Often associated with aftertouch messages. It was originally intended for use with a breath MIDI controller in which blowing harder produced higher MIDI control values. It can be used for modulation as well. Often used with aftertouch messages. It can send a continuous stream of values based on how the pedal is used. Controls portamento rate to slide between 2 notes played subsequently. Controls value for NRPN or RPN parameters Controls the volume of the channel Controls the left and right balance, generally for stereo patches. Controls the left and right balance, generally for mono patches. O= hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right Expression is a percentage of volume (CC7). 12 13 14- 15 16- 19 20- 31 63 64 65 66 Effect Control 1 Effect Control 2 Undefined General Purpose Controllers (Nos. 1-4) Undefined LSB for Controllers 0-31 (rarely implemented) Damper Pedal (Sustain) [Data Byte of 0-63=0ff, 64-127=On] Portamento Sostenuto Usually used to control a parameter of an effect within the synth/workstation. Usually used to control a parameter of an effect within the synth/workstation On/Off switch that controls sustain. (See also Sostenuto CC 66) 0 -63 = Off, 64-127 = On On/Off switch 0 -63 = Off, 64-127 =On On/Off switch - Like the Sustain controller (CC 64), However it only holds notes that were “On” when the pedal was pressed. People use it to “hold” chords” and play melodies over the held chord. 0 - 63 = Off, 64-127 =On 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 Soft Pedal Legato Footswitch Hold 2 Sound Controller 1 (default: Sound Variation) Sound Controller 2 (default: Timbre/Harmonic Content) Sound Controller 3 (default: Release Time) Sound Controller 4 (default: Attack Time) Sound Controller 5 (default: Brightness) On/Off switch Lowers the volume of notes played. 0- 63 = Off, 64 - 127=On On/Off switch Turns Legato effect between 2 subsequent notes On or Off. 0 - 63 = Off, 64 -127=On Another way to “hold notes” (see MIDI CC 64 and MIDI CC 66). However notes fade out according to their release parameter rather than when the pedal is released. Usually controls the way a sound is produced. Default = Sound Variation. Allows shaping the Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF). Default = Resonance - also(Timbre or Harmonics) Controls release time of the Voltage controlled Amplifier (VCA). Default = Release Time. Controls the “Attack’ of a sound. The attack is the amount of time it takes for the sound to reach maximum amplitude. Controls VCFs cutoff frequency of the filter. 75- 79 80- 83 84 85- 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 Sound Controller 6-10 (no defaults) General Purpose Controllers (Nos. 5-8) Portamento Control Undefined Effects 1 Depth Effects 2 Depth Effects 3 Depth Effects 4 Depth Effects 5 Depth Data Increment Data Decrement Non-Registered Parameter Number LSB Non-Registered Parameter Number LSB Generic - Some manufacturers may use these to further shape their sounds Generic On/Off switch 0 - 63 = Off, 64-127 =On Controls the amount of Portamento. Usually controls reverb send amount Usually controls tremolo amount Usually controls chorus amount Usually controls detune amount Usually controls phaser amount Usually used to increment data for RPN and NRPN messages. Usually used to decrement data for RPN and NRPN messages. For controllers 6, 38, 96, and 97, it selects the NRPN parameter. 100 101 102- 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 Registered Parameter Number LSB Registered Parameter Number MSB Undefined All Sounds Off Reset All Controllers Local Control All Notes Off Omni Off Omni On Mono On Mutes all sounding notes. It does so regardless of release time or sustain. (See MIDI CC 123) Reset all controllers to default state Turns internal connection of a MIDI keyboard/workstation, etc. On or Off. If you use a computer, you will most likely want local control off to avoid notes being played twice. Once locally and twice when the note is sent back from the computer to your keyboard. Mutes all sounding notes. Release time will still be maintained, and notes held by sustain will not turn off until sustain pedal is depressed. Sets to “Omni Off” mode Sets to “Omni On” mode. Sets device mode to Monophonic 127 Poly On Sets device mode to Polyphonic. ust Mpls ipice
