Controls

In the order the definition gives them, by group. Under each control is the name a program calls it by, once pymidiinstrumentdefs.load("korg/minilogue_xd") has loaded them.

Where these facts come from

Source documents

minilogue xd/MIDI Implimentation, Revision 1.01, dated 10 February 2020, its MIDI implementation, read on 13 September 2026 (the file read).
minilogue xd/Owner's Manual (English), dated 17 July 2025, its user manual, read on 13 September 2026 (the file read).

How they were read

MIDI implementation (plain text, no pages at all), sections 1-1 and 2-1 for the channel messages, 1-2 and 2-3 for the real-time messages, and the Non Registered Parameter Number table under footnote *3; and the owner's manual (68pp) at pp. 45 and 66 for the MIDI channel setting and the specifications.

The instrument transmits 64 control changes and recognises 67. The three it recognises and never sends are All Sound Off, Local Sw and All Note Off, which are channel mode messages belonging to the MIDI specification rather than to any instrument, and are excluded for that reason rather than missed. Four more are the machinery of other messages rather than controls of their own, and are excluded too: Data Entry MSB, NRPN MSB and LSB, and the LSB VALUE register described below. Bank Select MSB and LSB are controls, as bank select is wherever a maker numbers it.

What a value means is taken from the receive side throughout, because a definition's named values answer what to send in order to put a control into a state. That matters here, because the two sides disagree.

SYNC and RING are printed with opposite polarity in the two sections. Transmitting, "SYNC:OFF, ON = vv:0,127" (midi_impl); receiving, "vv:0~63,64~127 = SYNC:ON, OFF" (midi_impl). So a value of 0 is sent to mean OFF and is received to mean ON, and the same for RING. This file records the receive reading, which is what reaches the instrument, and the contradiction is recorded here rather than resolved.

Three further faults in the document, all left as the maker printed them.

First, the row for REVERB SUB TYPE cites footnote *6-14, and no such footnote exists in the document; the footnote numbered *5-14 is defined, is cited by nothing, and carries exactly this control's eighteen names. Its bands are used, and this note is why.

Second, MOD FX TYPE's receive bands are printed "0~25,26~51,52~76,77~102,102~127" (midi_impl), in which 102 both ends one band and begins the next. The band starts recorded here make 102 the first value of USER, which is one reading of an overlap the document does not resolve.

Third, the transmitted value list for MOD FX SUB TYPE under USER ends "112,128", and 128 is not a value a 7-bit control change can carry; every sibling list in the document ends 127. Nothing here depends on it, since the receive side governs.

NOT RECORDED, and marked in place:

the range of notes it answers to, which neither document states;
whether it acts on note-off velocity;
and the value bands for the two controls whose meaning depends on another control's setting, which the format cannot express - MOD FX SUB TYPE depends on MOD FX TYPE, and MULTI SUB TYPE SELECT on MULTI TYPE, each with a different set of bands under each.

One further thing the format cannot carry, and the file does not pretend to: this maker sends many controls at 10-bit resolution by first sending the low three bits as CC 63, then the upper seven as the control's own number. That is not the MMA's 14-bit pairing of a coarse and a fine controller, so no control here declares a fine half, and every range below is the 7-bit one the control change itself carries.
