Basic Operations

X1 Functions

This key accesses two miscellaneous functions. These are global functions which
affect all patches. For example, if Pedal is set to Sus, it will remain so for all patches.
• Mid - Out or Thru - When Out is selected, the MIDI output transmits local
data from the keyboard and knobs. When Thru is selected, the MIDI
output transmits data from the host application.
• PEd - Selects between a footswitch (SuS) or a continuous footpedal (ctL)
To Select one of the X1 Functions
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit LED illuminates.
2. Select X1.
3. Adjust the data slider to view the four functions: Mid, PEd, SyS.
4. Press Enter to select the desired function.
5. Select the desired value using the data slider.
6. Press Enter to confirm your selection. Press Home to cancel the operation.
Mid
The X Board can function as a MIDI interface between your computer applications
and external MIDI gear. When set to Thru, MIDI data from your computer appli-
cation is transmitted on the X Board's MIDI output jack. When Out is selected, the
MIDI output transmits local data from the keyboard and knobs.
X Board keyboard and controller data is NOT transmitted from the MIDI output
when this function is set to Thru. (Keyboard/Controller data is always sent via USB.)
Pedal
This function sets up the Footswitch / Footpedal input to accept a switch or a
variable pedal control input.
• SuS = Sustain or footswitch input. In this mode, the X Board automatically
senses the footswitch polarity on power up (either normally-open, or
normally-closed). Because of the automatic sensing feature, you should not
hold down the footswitch during power up or the switch action will be
reversed.
• ctL = Control Pedal. The X Board accepts control pedals wired as shown on
page 52.
