Controller Numbers

Description

Continuous controller events are determined by their controller number. Controller numbers from 0 to 127 follow the MIDI specification. Controller numbers above 127 are additional controllers that are specific to HALion.

❕ To limit a function to the continuous controllers of the MIDI specification, use an if statement. See example below.

Available in: Processor.

Additional Controllers

Controllers like aftertouch, pitch bend and other special controllers are determined by controller numbers above 127.

Number	Controller
128	Aftertouch
129	Pitchbend
130	Controller A
131	Controller B
132	Controller C
133	Controller D
134	Controller E
135	Controller F
136	Controller G
137	Controller H
138	Reserved for polyhonic Velocity
139	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 1
140	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 2
141	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 3
142	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 4
143	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 5
144	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 6
145	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 7
146	Reserved for polyhonic Note Expression Custom 8
147	RPN Pitch Bend Range
148	RPN Channel Fine Tuning (value range -8191 to 8191 equals -100 to 100 cent)
149	RPN Channel Coarse Tuning (value range -64 to 63 equals -64 to 63 semitones)
150	RPN Tuning Program Change
151	RPN Tuning Bank Select
152	RPN Modulation Depth Range

❕ The function onController will not be called by controllers 138 to 146. They are reserved for the polyphonic sources note-on velocity and note expression custom 1-8. You can use the callback functions onNote and onNoteExpression instead.

Example

-- Exclude MIDI mode messages and other special controllers.

function onController(event)
    if event.controller < 120 then
        print("Controller #: "..event.controller..", Value: "..event.value)
        postEvent(event)
    end
end
