Preset Mode - Samson Graphite 49 Owner's Manual

Preset Mode

To select a preset, press the PRESET button and the
keyboard will enter Preset Mode. The Preset indicator will
light red, and the Preset number will flash on the display.
In Preset Mode, the Graphite 49 will stop transmitting
MIDI messages.
Use the DATA +/– buttons or numerical keys to select the
desired Preset. The name of the Preset will appear in the
first row of the display. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice, and the keyboard will load
the new Preset settings for all sliders, knobs and buttons. Pressing the MAIN button will cancel
the selection and return to the previous Preset. There are 3 categories of presets:
GRAPHITE Preset
Preset 1 is configured for the sliders to control channel volumes, and the encoders to
control the pan for channels in Zone 1. Using this preset will get you started working
with almost any standalone USB/MIDI device or audio software.
You can edit the Preset for each component in Setup Mode, and save your changes. The
settings for sliders S1–S9 and encoders E1–E8 can be organized into two banks, which
can be accessed by pressing the BANK ◀ or ▶ buttons. The active MIDI channels for all
encoders and sliders can be shifted up or down by pressing the CHANNEL ◀ or CHAN-
NEL ▶ buttons.
Remote Control Presets
Presets 2–10 are designed for specific software titles, with the controls set to access the
most common functions directly from the Graphite 49. The communication between
the computer and the keyboard is bidirectional, and information from the software will
appear on the Graphite's display. You can edit the Presets in Setup Mode and save your
changes to further customize the parameters to suit your needs.
Sliders S1–S8 are used for channel volume controls; S9 is used for master volume con-
trol. Encoders E1–E8 are used for channel pan control. F1–F8 are used for channel Solo;
F9–F16 are used for channel Mute for all software (except Logic where F1–F8 are used
for REC Arm, and F9–F16 are used for channel Mute). The BANK and CHANNEL buttons
are used to change the channels controlled within the software. The remote control
message is sent through output Port 5 to the computer, and the message from the
computer is received through input Port B of the keyboard.
Note: When you move slider on the computer, its data will be sent to the keyboard in real
time, and it will be shown on the display, but it cannot affect the physical position of the
slider in the keyboard. When you move the slider on the keyboard, the message will not be
transmitted until it reaches the value and position of the slider in the software. This elimi-
nates any unexpected level jumps when the faders are moved.
USER Presets
Presets 11–30 are USER presets that can be fully customized to create your layout. The
default settings for each USER preset is the same as in Preset 1.
The USER Preset also includes information about the contents of settings, for all zones,
and activity status. Zone edit results are saved to the current activated Preset automati-
cally.
