Snap Shot

The X Board can store the settings of the 16 knobs and footpedal/footswitch with
the Patch. When the Snap Shot button is pressed, the currently stored settings of all
performance controls (knobs, wheels, footpedal) are transmitted. The initial setting
of the footswitch is not transmitted.
Here's an example of how you might use this feature. The knob settings can be
stored with the Patch, and can either be transmitted when the Patch is selected or
not. For the purpose of this example, suppose the knob settings are NOT trans-
mitted when the Patch is selected. At a certain point in your song, you could press
Snap Shot and completely change the sound by sending the stored controller
messages.
This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Knob Bypass control to set
up, and then send a group of MIDI continuous controllers messages at once. See
the description of "Bypass Mode" below.

Bypass Mode

When you move a controller knob on the X Board, the position value is immedi-
ately transmitted via MIDI. Knob Bypass disables the transmission of MIDI
messages from the knobs or control pedal/footswitch.
Bypass mode allows you to pre-set the knobs to a known position in order to avoid
abrupt parameter jumps in performance when you turn the knob.
When Bypass is On, you can set the knobs anywhere you like without sending MIDI
controller messages. When you turn Bypass Off again, nothing is transmitted, but
the knobs are now in the desired position for your performance. When you turn a
knob, the value of the new position will be sent.
This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Snap Shot feature. In Bypass
mode, moving the controller knobs temporarily changes the stored settings.
Pressing Snap Shot in Bypass mode transmits the stored settings with any changes
you made while in Bypass mode.
