Mode, press the
KILL MIDI allows you to send either an ALL NOTES OFF message on
each MIDI Channel or a RESET ALL CONTROLLERS command.
ALL NOTES OFF is a MIDI message used to turn off any notes that
might be playing on your DAW or external MIDI device. It is often used
to recover from erroneous stuck notes.
In certain situations, it is possible for some of these controllers to be left
in a state which could have an undesired effect on the next patch or
program. A RESET ALL CONTROLLERS MIDI message will return all
controller values, such as pitch bend and modulation to their default
settings.
1. Press [GLOBAL] button to enter Global Mode. Kill MIDI will be
the first option which appears on the screen.
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select either an ALL NOTES OFF or a
RESET ALL CONTROLLERS message.
3. Press [ENTER] to transmit the message.
You can assign the MIDI Common Channel to a desired MIDI Channel.
Any and all pads, buttons, knobs, faders or keyboard assigned to the
MIDI Common Channel (CC) will transmit MIDI information via the
channel number that you select in this field.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to MIDI Common
Channel (page 2).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select desired MIDI Channel.
3. Press [ENTER] to set the MIDI Channel.
Note: If you change which channel the MIDI Common Channel is
using, you also need to set any device that is controlled by the
Common Channel to that channel number as well.
The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted for optimal viewing.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to LCD CONT
(page 3).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select a contrast level.
3. Press [ENTER] to set contrast level.
