MIDI CC
Description
REC LEVEL
CC 13
Analog preamp gain fed into the delay. Higher = fat, saturated signal to the record head. Lower = cleaner delay signals.
MECHANICS
CC 14
Amount of mechanically related speed fluctuations, friction, creases, splices, and contaminants. Min = fresh medium, max = well-worn machine.
TIME
CC 17
Delay time at head 4. Heads 1-3 subdivide proportionately according to Spacing. Range depends on Speed setting.
REPEATS
CC 20
Feedback amount for heads with feedback enabled. Higher values create longer, self-oscillating repeats.
ECHO LEVEL
CC 12
Overall delay signal level sent to the output.
LOW CUT
CC 16
Low frequency shaping of echo repeats. Min = extended low frequency bandwidth. Max = extremely high-passed repeats.
WEAR
CC 15
Wear of the media and heads, affecting high frequency fidelity. Min = fresh, full-bandwidth sound. Higher = degraded, lo-fi character.
Output mix of the integrated spring reverb tank. All the way left = spring bypassed. Dry signal and Echo Level both feed into the reverb.

Special MIDI Functions
Expression — CC 100
Head 1 Playback — CC 21. Enable or disable playback head 1. When off, head 1 is silent but can still feed back to the record head.
Head 2 Playback — CC 22. Enable or disable playback head 2. When off, head 2 is silent but can still feed back to the record head.
Head 3 Playback — CC 23. Enable or disable playback head 3. When off, head 3 is silent but can still feed back to the record head.
Head 4 Playback — CC 24. Enable or disable playback head 4. When off, head 4 is silent but can still feed back to the record head.
Head 1 Feedback — CC 34. Enable or disable feedback from head 1 back to the record head. A head can feed back even when its playback is disengaged.
Head 2 Feedback — CC 35. Enable or disable feedback from head 2 back to the record head. A head can feed back even when its playback is disengaged.
Head 3 Feedback — CC 36. Enable or disable feedback from head 3 back to the record head. A head can feed back even when its playback is disengaged.
Head 4 Feedback — CC 37. Enable or disable feedback from head 4 back to the record head. A head can feed back even when its playback is disengaged.
SOS Mode — CC 41. Toggle Sound on Sound looper mode. When enabled, the footswitches take on looper functions (record, splice, pause, etc.). 0 = normal mode, 1-127 = SOS mode.
Pause (No Ramp) — CC 42. Pause or resume the SOS loop immediately, without the mechanical slowdown/startup effect. 0 = unpause, 1-127 = pause.
Pause (With Ramp) — CC 43. Pause or resume the SOS loop with a mechanical slowdown/startup effect simulating tape winding. 0 = unpause, 1-127 = pause.
Reverse — CC 44. Reverse or return to forward playback of the SOS recorded loop. 0 = normal forward playback, 1-127 = reverse playback.
Infinite Hold (with Oscillation) — CC 45. Enter or exit Infinite Hold mode, which disables the record head and plays the loop indefinitely without degrading. Oscillation/self-feedback remains active. 0 = release, 1-127 = hold.
Infinite Hold (no Oscillation) — CC 46. Enter or exit Infinite Hold mode without oscillation. Disables the record head and plays the loop indefinitely without degrading. 0 = release, 1-127 = hold.
MIDI Expression Enable — CC 60. Enable or disable response to MIDI Expression CC #100. When disabled, Volante ignores incoming expression CC messages. 0 = off (default), 1-127 = on.
MIDI Clock Sync — CC 63. Enable or disable MIDI Clock sync. When enabled, Volante syncs delay time to incoming MIDI Clock. 0 = off (default), 1-127 = on.
Echo On/Off — CC 78. Enable or disable the echo/delay engine independently of the spring reverb. Allows using Volante as a reverb-only unit. 0 = echo off, 127 = echo on.
Reverb On/Off — CC 79. Enable or disable the spring reverb independently of the echo engine. Allows using Volante as a delay-only unit. 0 = reverb off, 127 = reverb on.
Persist — CC 83. When enabled, the delay tails continue to ring out after bypass instead of cutting abruptly. 0 = persist off, 1-127 = persist on.
Kill Dry — CC 84. Mutes the dry (unprocessed) signal at the output, leaving only the wet echo and reverb signal. Useful in parallel FX loops. 0 = dry passes through, 1-127 = dry killed.
Output Sum (Mono) — CC 85. Sums the stereo output to mono on the LEFT OUT jack, with RIGHT OUT silent. Useful for mono rigs without disconnecting stereo cables. 0 = stereo out, 1-127 = mono sum.
Head 1 Level — CC 25. Volume level of playback head 1. Full volume (127) or half volume (~64) as set by the physical button.
Head 2 Level — CC 26. Volume level of playback head 2. Full volume (127) or half volume (~64) as set by the physical button.
Head 3 Level — CC 27. Volume level of playback head 3. Full volume (127) or half volume (~64) as set by the physical button.
Head 4 Level — CC 28. Volume level of playback head 4. Full volume (127) or half volume (~64) as set by the physical button.
Head 1 Pan — CC 29. Stereo panning of playback head 1. 0 = hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right.
Head 2 Pan — CC 30. Stereo panning of playback head 2. 0 = hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right.
Head 3 Pan — CC 31. Stereo panning of playback head 3. 0 = hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right.
Head 4 Pan — CC 32. Stereo panning of playback head 4. 0 = hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right.
Pause Ramp Speed — CC 38. Speed of the mechanical slowdown/startup effect when pausing and resuming the SOS looper. Lower = slower ramp, higher = faster ramp.
Spring Decay — CC 40. Decay time of the integrated spring reverb tank. Shorter values produce a snappier reverb; longer values produce a more pronounced, lingering spring reverb.
SOS Repeats Level — CC 47. Volume level of the SOS loop repeats fed back into the recording. Lower values reduce loop buildup; higher values maintain loop volume across overdubs.
SOS Loop Level — CC 48. Output volume of the SOS recorded loop. Turning down reduces the loop volume in the mix without affecting the dry signal or echo repeats.
SOS Record / Splice / Clear — CC 49. Triggers the SOS Record/Splice/Clear action (equivalent to pressing the TAP footswitch in SOS mode). First trigger starts recording, second closes the loop and begins playback, third clears the loop.
Exit SOS Looper — CC 50. Exits SOS Looper mode and returns to normal delay operation (equivalent to pressing and holding TAP in SOS mode).
Remote Tap Tempo — CC 93. Sends a tap tempo pulse to Volante, equivalent to pressing the TAP footswitch. Send repeatedly to set the delay time rhythmically.
