Hi,
I know of a few, that many major companies like Yamaha, Roland, and undoubtedly Korg use, they are part of the GS and I believe gm2 spec. Most decent synths support them.
71: Filter Resonance
72: Release Time
73: Attack Time
74: Filter Cutoff
75: Decay Time
126: Mono mode, only allows you to play one note at once
127: Poly mode, allows you to play more than one note at once.
There are others which I know I am missing, but I haven't used them in a very long time so I can't remember what they do.

Both are correct -- there are standard numbers for certain things that are
in common use. Sustain pedal is designated as number 64, for example. That
said, any manufacturer is not required to use these numbers in their
products if they don't want to.

Here are the ones I know off the top of my head. Note that 0-63 are usually for continuous controllers while 64-127 are switches. Also, some of the last few numbers have other uses for things like changing the MIDI response mode,
sending a tune request, and turning Local off.

0. Bank Select
1. Modulation Wheel
2. Breath Controller
5. Portamento value
7. Volume
10. Pan
64. Sustain pedal
65. Sostenuto pedal

I'd welcome any other ones anyone can remember, as I'd like to compile a
list of the common ones. I know I'm missing things like Expression pedal,
Reverb switch, Portamento switch, and the registered parameter controls.
I've also forgotten the controller used by Ensoniq to switch to different
sub-patches using their two buttons.

Hi all
still getting to grips with QWS. amazed. can someone explain how i can add
sustain to a bar i have already recorded. I assume it's something to do with

controllers. Is there a list of what controllers do what or does it depend
on the instrument? would be grateful for any advice. many thanks in hope,
brian
