Global Mode

Global Mode lets you set parameters and make changes to
VX49's general ("global") settings that are not specific to a
preset.
To navigate this mode:
• Use the Page Left/Right buttons to view each page of
settings.
• Use the Cursors to select the setting you want to edit.
• Use the Data Dial to change a value or setting.
Important: To retain your new settings for future sessions,
save them. To do this, use the Page Right button to move to
the right-most page, select Save Global Settings, and press
the Data Dial. Without saving, the settings will return to their
default settings once you power off your VX49.

Available Global Settings

Below is a list of available global parameters.
Common Channel
Note Display Type
Screen Brightness
Transport Format
Octave
Transpose
VX49 will send its messages over this MIDI channel. This is the same as the MIDI
Ch setting in Main Mode or Setup Mode. You can select any one of Channels A1–
16 or B1–16. The letter of the port (A or B) is relevant for USB MIDI only; the 5-pin
MIDI Out will ignore the port letter.
This determines whether VX49's display will show notes as a Name (e.g., C1, F#2,
etc.) or a Number (e.g., 36, 66, etc.).
This determines the brightness of VX49's display. The available range is 1–10.
This determines what type of transport control command VX49's transport buttons
(Play, Rec, and Stop) send. These can be set to send MIDI (MIDI Start/Stop), CC
(pre-assigned MIDI CC values), MMC (MIDI Machine Control), and MMC/MIDI.
When set to PTEX, transport control messages will be sent only on USB Port B,
Channel 16, regardless of the Common Channel setting. This setting is for use with

Pro Tools
Express only.
VX49's keyboard will be offset by this many octaves. This is the same as the
changing the Oct setting in in Main Mode or Setup Mode or using the Octave
Down/Up buttons. The available range is -4 to +4. 0 indicates the center (no offset).
VX49's keyboard will be transposed by this many semitones. This is the same as the
Trans setting in Main Mode or Setup Mode. The available range is -36 to +36. 0
indicates the center (no transposition).
