Volume Control Source Info
==========================

The following are "direct" copies from the synths' LED displays.

The SYSTEM/MIDI menu /on the JV-1080/ defaults to these values:
+----------------------------------------+
|CONTROL ^Control 1      |Control 2      |
|ASSIGN1 vAFTERTOUCH     |CC11:EXPRESSION|
+----------------------------------------+
|CONTROL ^Volume         |Aftertouch     |
|ASSIGN2 |VOLUME         |CH&POLY        |
+----------------------------------------+

NOTE: the SYS-CTRL2 assigment can ALSO be assigned VOL&EXP which is what I
recommend and WOULD comply with the MIDI Spec. (JV users, see page 68 of the
Owner's Manual). However, because of the "conflict" with the Sys-Ctrl2
assignment, I'd suggest changing it to agree with the XP-50's setting of
CC02:BREATH. I believe that the XP-50's "update" to these settings indicates
Roland's "awareness" and agreeable solution to the "conflict".

The SYSTEM/CONTROL menu /on the XP-50/ defaults to these values:
+----------------------------------------+
|C1      ^Assign         |         Output|
|ASSIGN  v  97:AFTERTOUCH|           BOTH|
+----------------------------------------+
|C2      ^Assign         |         Output|
|ASSIGN  vCC02:BREATH    |           BOTH|
+----------------------------------------+
|SYS-CTRL^      Control 1|      Control 2|
|ASSIGN  v  97:AFTERTOUCH|CC02:BREATH    |
+----------------------------------------+
|CONTROL ^ Hold| Peak| Volume| Aftertouch|
|SOURCE  |  OFF|  OFF|VOL&EXP|    CHANNEL|
+----------------------------------------+

The use of VOL&EXP as Control Sources for Volume IS complying with the MIDI
Spec.
The default Pedal 1 & 2 assignments for the XP-50 are CC07 and CC11
respectfully which "curiously" allows Volume and Expression to be manually
controlled.

The Volume Control Source (JV Manual pg. 68, XP-50 Manual pg. 59) determines
whether Controller 11 is used. I recommend the VOL&EXP setting for compliance
with the MIDI Spec.
