Filtering Controllers

You can filter out the most commonly used MIDI controllers for each slot separately.

For example, if you set up a keyboard split with bass and piano playing on the same MIDI channel, both sounds receive the same MIDI controllers. However, you usually do not want the bass to receive the sustain pedal. To avoid that all sounds on the same MIDI channel receive the same MIDI controllers, use the controller filter.

Filtering out control change messages can also be used to avoid unwanted program changes on MIDI channel 10 (drums), for example.

Procedure

  1. Activate the Ctrl button above the range controls.
  2. For each slot, activate the MIDI controllers that you want to filter out.

    You can filter out the following MIDI controllers: Sustain Pedal #64, Foot Controller #4, Foot Switches #65-69, Pitchbend, Modulation Wheel #1, Aftertouch, and Program Change.
