Allows continuously changing information such as pitch wheel or breath controller information to be passed over the MIDI line. Continuous controllers use large amounts of memory when recorded into a MIDI sequencer. Some standard MIDI Continuous Controller numbers are listed below.

PWH = Pitch Wheel

CHP = Pressure= Modulation Wheel= Breath Controller= (Pressure on Rev. 1 DX7)= Foot Pedal= Portamento Time= Data Entry= Volume= Balance = Pan = Expression Controller-19 = General purpose controllers 1-4 (High Res.) = Sustain Switch (on/off) = Portamento Switch (on/off) = Sustenuto (chord hold) = Soft Pedal (on/off) = Hold Pedal 2 (on/off)-83 = General purpose controllers 5-8 (Low Res.) = External Effects Depth = Tremolo Depth = Chorus Depth = Detune = Phaser Depth = Data Increment = Data Decrement
