Sending Global Messages; All Notes Off; Return To Default Value; Factory Reset - Alesis ControlPad Reference Manual

SENDING GLOBAL MESSAGES

In addition to global parameters, there are three special functions available
on the ControlPad: the All Notes Off message, the Return to Default Value
message and a Factory Reset message. You might rarely have to use these
but it is good to keep in mind that they are available in case you run into
trouble.

RETURN TO DEFAULT VALUE

FACTORY RESET

This function sends an All Notes Off message on all MIDI
channels. An All Notes Off message will terminate any
MIDI note that is still playing. This message can be used to
recover from erroneous stuck notes.
How to send an All Notes Off message :
•
Hold and buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds or
longer.
This message will set the parameter being edited back to its
default value.
How to send a Return to Default Value message :
•
Hold and buttons momentarily.
This operation resets all functions back to the factory setup
condition. Sometimes you might have gone a little too far
changing the configuration of the ControlPad. You might
want to use the Factory Reset message to restore everything,
including presets, back to the way it originally was.
How to send a Factory Reset message :
•
Hold and buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds while
powering on the ControlPad
