MIDI Channel
MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI Channels. However, certain MIDI
devices and MIDI software applications require the keyboard to send data on a specified
channel. If this is the case, you can change the channel the data is sent using the following
method:
1. Press the Advanced button to engage Edit Mode.
2. Press one of the 16 Channel keys (D2 to E4), according to the Channel that you need.
For example, if a device specifies that you need to send data on Channel 10, press the
Advanced button, and select Channel 10. The Channel can also be assigned to the Octave "+"
and "-" buttons. Once assigned, pressing "+" or "-" will increase or decrease the channel
incrementally. When Channel 16 is reached and "+" is pressed, Channel 1 will be selected.
Pressing both the "+" and "-" buttons together will recall Channel 1.
Control Change
To assign the Octave/Data buttons to send Control Change messages that can be toggled on
and off, follow these steps:
1. Press the Advanced button to engage Edit Mode.
2. Press the black key labeled "CC" (Eb3).
3. Use the Numerical Data Entry keys G4-B5 to enter the number of the Control Change to
assign to the +/- buttons.
4. The unit will transmit the assigned MIDI Control Change messages that toggle on and
off (Press once On, Press again Off).
The Octave +/- buttons can also send momentary MIDI Control Change messages. To assign
the Octave/Data buttons to Control Change momentary messages, follow these steps:
1. Press the Advanced button to engage Edit Mode.
2. Press the black key labeled "CC" (Eb3) 2 times.
Note: The Advanced LED will flash/blink when assigning a momentary CC message to
the -/+ buttons.
3. Use the Numerical Data Entry keys G4-B5 to enter the number of the Control Change to
assign to the +/- buttons.
4. The unit will transmit the assigned MIDI Control Change messages (Press On, Release
Off).
