Each MIDI CC operates at 7-bit resolution, meaning it has 128 possible values. The values start at 0 and go to 127. Some instruments can receive higher resolution data for their MIDI control assignments. These high res assignments are defined by combining two separate CCs, one being the Most Significant Byte (MSB), and one being the Least Significant Byte (LSB). Most instruments just receive the MSB with default 7-bit resolution. Here is a table that lists all MIDI CCs:
| CC | Name | MIDI CC Details | Values | Type |
| 0 | Bank Select | Switch Preset Banks for Patch Selection. This is used in combination with program change commands. | 0-127 | MSB |
| 1 | Modulation Wheel | The Mod Wheel is one of the most used CC messages. It can be assigned to a variety of different controls in your synthesizer/sampler/effects units. Common mappings include adding vibrato, or adjusting filter cutoff. | 0-127 | MSB |
| 2 | Breath Controller | Like the Mod Wheel, this CC is intended for real time performance modulation. The CC2 Breath controller was originally defined for electronic wind instrument breath amount. | 0-127 | MSB |
| 3 | Undefined | | 0-127 | MSB |
| 4 | Foot Pedal | The Foot Controller CC4 can be used like an extra expression pedal, for real time performance modulation. | 0-127 | MSB |
| 5 | Portamento/Glide Time | The Portamento/Glide defines how consecutive note pitches are interpolated between. With no portamento/glide, the pitch of a new key press is immediate and in tune to the key. With portamento/glide, the frequency is glided up/down from the previous frequency. | 0-127 | MSB |
| 6 | Data Entry (MSB) | This CC is used with SYSEX NRPN or RPN messages | 0-127 | MSB |
