1) Assignable from 001-031, 033-095. Default value shown.

2) Assignable to the 'Control Grid'.

3) Will alter the 'Part' value, effectively editing the performance (but not the voice).
*If used in 'Control Grid', this will always depend on the destination.

4) Can be used without being assigned to 'Control Grid'.

5) Don't bother. Just use Volume instead, it does the same thing.

6) See the next section.

Now, the hard part. This section will be of little or no use if you don't own a pc1600, or similar.

In addition to the CC messages above, Yamaha has other things that can be addressed with the use of RPN and NRPN controllers. This is somewhat cumbersome, and I can't figure out why they didn't just use CC 102-119, or some other unused, undefined area. It would've kept things much easier.

These parameters are first 'pointed' to with a RPN or NRPN message, then edited with CC#6.

The table here shows the parameters, and the messages to 'point' to them.

RPN	NRPN	MSB	LSB	Parameter	Range
	X	01h	08h	LFO 1 Speed	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	09h	LFO 1 Pmod	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	0Ah	LFO 1 Delay	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	0Bh	LFO 2 Speed	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	0Ch	LFO 2 Flt Mod	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	20h	Filter Freq	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	21h	Filter Res	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	63h	Attk Time	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	64h	Decay Time	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
	X	01h	66h	Release Time	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
X		00h	00h	PB Range	-24 +24	00h - 18h
X		00h	01h	Detune	-64 +63	00h - 7Fh
X		00h	02h	Note Shift	-24 +24	28h - 58h
	X	7Fh	7Fh	Null Set	x	x
X		7Fh	7Fh	Null Set	x	x

The Null Set tells the FS1R to not do anything with CC#6, effectively turning it off, until another 'pointer' is received.

So far, this is theory, not practice. The next table shows how to enter a string into the pc1600 that will control the given parameter.

String	Data	Parameter	Range	Notes
Bn 63 01 62 08	06 pr	LFO 1 Speed	0 - 127	7

Program a fader of the pc1600 with the 'String' AND include the 'Data'. As always, 'n' is the channel number. Now, you can go crazy with the faders, and the FS1R will not have a problem.

Alternatively, you can program a fader to send a CC#6, and program a button to send what's in the 'String' column (leave out the '06 pr'). This will allow control of one parameter at a time with slider that's sending CC#6.

7) The fun stuff

8) Don't bother. You can do this without having to fight with the NRPNs.

9) Probably not useful for performance, but here it is anyway.
