Control Assign, Data 1, Data 2, Data 3: The Control Assign function (Ctrl Asgn) assigns a MIDI continuous control
number (MIDI CC) or other MIDI parameter to the selected knob, button, fader, wheel, or to the sustain pedal. The
Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3 keys define various related aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control.
Channel Assign: The Channel Assign function (Chan Asgn) assigns a knob, fader, button, wheel, or the sustain
pedal to a specific MIDI channel.

control (for example, "c.0.2.").
5. Enter the new MIDI channel number using the number keys.
6. Press the Enter key.
When assigned to channel "0", the control (knob, fader, button, wheel, or sustain pedal) will transmit on the Global
MIDI Channel. See the next section, "Global Channel" for more information.
NOTE: When a control is assigned to send SysEx messages, the displayed number represents the SysEx Device ID
instead of the MIDI transmit channel number.
Global Channel: The Global Channel function (Global Chan) sets the default MIDI channel for the keyboard and all
MIDI controls, except for those that have a specific MIDI channel assigned to them.
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Global Channel key. The LED display will show the current Global channel. For example, if channel 1
is the current Global channel, it will appear as "c.0.1".
3. Enter the new channel number using the number keys.
4. Press the Enter key.
The Global Channel can also be changed by using the following method:
1. Press the Select button until the lower edge of the LED displays a red dot above "Global".
2. Scroll through the MIDI channels using the "<" or ">" buttons to select the new channel number.
Program: This function sends Program Change MIDI messages on the Global Channel and can be used to select
different sound presets contained within your virtual instrument or sound module.

available). Refer to the documentation for the virtual instrument or synthesizer to confirm it will respond to these
messages.

available). Refer to the documentation for the virtual instrument or synthesizer to confirm it will respond to these
messages.
