Volume

By default:
pitchbend is controlled by pitchbend messages

filter cutoff is controlled by CC#16
resonance is controlled by CC#17
Volume is controlled by MIDI volume (CC#7)
Sustain is controlled by Sustain (CC#64)

however, any controller or aftertouch or velocity can be mapped to control other things so for example velocity could be mapped to control volume.
