Expert Sleepers - FH - 1 - MIDI Continuous Controller Assignments CCs

 

On the Expert sleepers website there are two important MIDI charts:

1. MIDI Note On/Off (MIDI/CV conversion)

2. MIDI Continuous CC 

  MIDI Continuous Controller Assignments

 This table is a bit different to the Note On/Off table

 

So what are CCs ?

This is a big category, because it includes 127 individual CC message types.  

These are just a few examples.

CC#1 is defined as ModWheel, simply because it’s generated by the other (Modulation) wheel found on virtually all MIDI controllers . However, it can be assigned differently. Eg Roland's V.I.s use CC#1 for continuously open/closed hi-hat control.

 

CC#7 and CC#10 are MIDI Volume and Pan

 

CC#11 is defined as “Expression”—this is meant to be the player’s volume control

 

 CC#64, though it can carry a continuous stream of CC messages, is usually implemented as an On-Off switch to control the MIDI keyboard’s damper pedal (0-63 = pedal up, 64-127 = pedal down). 

 

 

In the FH-1 environment , the e assignments are generally in groups of 8 sets of 8 CCs, numbered 0-7. The numbers refer to the expander (FHX-1) number, 'expander 0' being the FH-1 itself.

 

This is the top left of the CC table

Faders 0 is the impt one.

“Faders” means direct CC control of the output CV

It refers to the FH-1 itself . You read CC 0-7

This indicates that 

output 1 sends data via CC 0

output 2 sends data via CC1

etc

output 8 sends data via CC 7

Faders 1 would indicate the 1st FHx-1 expansion module

It sends data via CC 8 - 15 

Faders 4 would be the 4th expansion module

 

 

So if you don't have any expansion modules, just look for any word with a "0" after it.

For example on midi channel 3, the LFO speed is controlled by CC's 0-7 

These are the LFO speeds for the FH-1's own outputs, CC 0 corresponding to output 1, CC 1 corresponding to output 2, and so on up to CC 7 corresponding to output 8

Any changes we make to the factory setting, we can save as a preset.

One of my first midi controllers was a Korg Nano Kontrol

 

I'm glad I never threw it away as its a great CC controller.

Works well with the FH-1 too
