Important note about selecting a Control source
When you change the control source for a parameter, the new control source immediately sets its
current value for the MIDI value of the current parameter. If the MIDI value of the parameter
was set to None before changing the control source, changing the control source will set a new
MIDI value, but the Value column for the parameter will still display None (see Important note
about values of "None"). This can be troublesome if for example you were to change the Control
Source for the Expression parameter, you may accidentally set the MIDI Value to 0, but wouldn't
know it because None would still be displayed. Also, if you set a MIDI Value to None by scrolling
below 0, the MIDI value will be 0 until you change the value with the assigned controller
(though None will still be displayed). If you edit the parameters of a program and suddenly can't
produce any sound from the program, this may be the cause. In this case, either set the Value for
Expression to something other than None, or use the Control Source that you set for Expression
to increase the Value.
Value
The Value (right) column sets the initial MIDI value that the Parameter in the selected row
and it's assigned controller will have when the Program is selected. This value changes as you
move the assigned controller, so don't move the assigned controller if you have set a value
that you wish to save. To set a specific value, use the cursor button to highlight the right
column and type a value followed by the Enter button (or select a value of None by typing
-1, followed by the Enter button). You can also use the Alpha Wheel or Value buttons to
enter a MIDI value from 0-127, or a value of None by scrolling below 0. If you set a Value
to None by scrolling below 0, the value will be 0 until you change the value with an assigned

controller (though None will still be displayed).
For factory programs, standard parameters like Expression (program volume), Sustain, and
Sostenuto are always set to None by default. If you change one of these values, either on the
Parameters page in the Program Editor, or with a physical controller from Program Mode (or the
Program Editor,) the same value will be used for any other program you select, if you select
another program that uses a value of None for the same parameter. These values remain set even
if you don't save the program.
This can be useful, for example, when using an expression pedal to control program volume.
By default, all factory programs have their Expression parameter set to a value of None, and
Expression (program volume) by default can be controlled by an expression pedal plugged into
the CC Pedal jack. With an expression pedal plugged into the CC Pedal jack, you can control
the volume of any factory program, but when you select another factory program, it will have
the same volume that you set with the expression pedal in the last program. This way, the volume
of your programs will stay consistent, and can always be changed by the expression pedal. If
you want a program to have a default volume, you must set a Value other than None for the
Expression parameter.
For all parameters with a Value of None, any values set with a physical control will not
be saved when saving the program. You must set the Value column for that parameter to
something other than None in order to set and save a value. These values will remain set
until changed with a controller, or until a program is loaded on the current MIDI channel
that does not have a value of None for these parameters.
