Some of these controlsare off/off controls, although the POD continuouscontrols are used to make these settings.The Program Change POD (left POD, second row) isnot, of course, a Control Change message. Instead,turning the knob changes the value of the ProgramChange number. If the left switch of this POD is usedto turn the button ON, the Program Change messageis sent as the knob is turned. If the the button isturned OFF, the Program Change message corre-sponding to the current position of the knob will onlysent when the button is turned ON.The official MIDI specification defines the names ofthese controllers as follows:Controller name Number(decimal)Number(hex)MODULATION 1 01BREATH 2 02FOOT 4 04EXPRESSION 11 0BCH.
