What Is MIDI CC? – Daniel Fisher

Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s MIDI magician, delivers a recap on MIDI CC messages — the expressive tools of modern music — using a 1010music Nanobox Fireball and two MIDI controllers. MIDI CC stands for “continuous controller” or “control change.” When you’re turning a knob, pushing a slider, or rolling a mod wheel, you’re also sending a MIDI CC channel–specific value of 0–127 that can go to a sound module, a plug-in, or a sequencer. MIDI CC messages are commonly used to control parameters such as volume (CC#7), pan (CC#10), data slider (CC#6), and mod wheel (CC#1), though nearly any CC message can be customized from your host or controller. Check it out!

Been using Midi pedals for 15 years, now i FINALLY understand CC!!! Thanks Make a 9 hour synth video.

Even if I know the subject matter, I always listen to what Daniel has to say!
Back in the early 90s when MIDI was everything I never had much to do with CCs but now I have the Roland AE-30 Aerophone wind synth I use it to send CCs for breath, both motions (elevation and tilt), and thumbpad pressure.

Very informative stuff. Very clearly outlined the values and controls

Thank you so much. I was wondering if I would be able to control the various parameters of my old Yamaha S03, and it turns out I can thanks to your explanation of how CCs work. I am so excited! Now just have to save up some $$! Great vid!

Hi, great video. At 10.13 how did you know the CC value was 21?

[MyBichSustained]

I would love if Moog and Arturia would cre ate a CC Controller...the best to use is my ms-20 mini controller....but use it on Arturia modular is lacking....need a modular cc controller badly.

hi, how do you spell the software on Mac ? by advance thank you

[akumatensei]

Funny question, did you use a slight chorus to process your voice? Or am I just going insane?

[alan]

trying to send a midi message to my organ module to control rotary speaker. after watching this I still have no idea how to do it. I see the codes in the manual but how to get another keyboard or foot switch to do that is beyond me. It seems all these info videos are configured for specific equipment that doesn't apply the same across the board.

[PhilGeissler]

LOL, I always thought it meant Control Configuration.

[SonicVibe]

This I get I need this same class on cv
