Other Functions in Program Mode

All notes off: Pressing the MIDI Select button followed by the Reset key will send an "All Notes Off" message on all channels
and will return all external MIDI instruments to their default settings. This function is known as the "panic button" and is useful
if you experience stuck notes on a MIDI instrument. Once you have completed this action, press the MIDI Select button again
to exit Program Mode.
If the MidAir keyboard ever loses contact with the receiver, even momentarily, the receiver will automatically send out these
messages to ensure there are no stuck notes.
Transposing the keyboard: By pressing the MIDI Select button followed by the flat or sharp keys, you can transpose the keyboard
in half-step increments. For example, if you want to lower the keyboard's tuning by two half-steps (one whole step), press the
MIDI Select button, then press the flat key twice, and press the MIDI Select button again. The keyboard will now be transposed
by two half-steps.
Changing the keyboard's MIDI channel: By default, the MidAir keyboard's keys transmit data on MIDI
channel 1. To change this channel:
1. Press the MIDI Select button.
2. Press the MIDI Channel key.
3. Select a channel using the 0-9 keys on the right side of the keyboard.
4. Press the Enter key when finished.
The MidAir keyboard will now transmit on your chosen channel. Press the MIDI Select button to exit Program
mode.
Note that the knobs, sliders, and Sustain button are independent of the keyboard and can send MIDI data on any channel of
your choosing.
Sending Control Change MIDI messages: The MidAir keyboard allows you to send specific MIDI Control
Change (CC) messages by using the "CC No." and "CC Data" keys together while in Program Mode. These commands
are very useful if you understand the inner workings of MIDI and need to issue specific commands to your MIDI
hardware. As an example, if you need to send out data value 123 on CC controller 7:
1. Press the MIDI Select button.
2. Press the CC No. key.
3. Press number key 7.
4. Press the Enter key. At this point, you've specified that you'd like to change CC controller number 7.
5. Now press the CC Data key.
6. Press the number keys 1, 2 and 3, in that order.
7. Press the Enter key. This sends out data value 123 on the previously specified controller number 7.
Your MIDI Control Change message has now been sent. Press the MIDI Select button to exit Program mode.
