Using Menus - Play Mode - Novation ReMOTE LE User Manual

Using menus – PLAY mode
All operational modes except PLAY mode allow various
settings to be altered from within menus. PLAY mode
allows the ReMOTE LE to control software or hardware
using either the onboard Templates (in Template mode), or
simply use the DATA encoder to change the MIDI Program
or Bank (in Program or Bank mode).
Template mode
When PLAY Mode is initially accessed, the ReMOTE LE is in
TEMPLATE SELECT mode as indicated by the Template
LED below the LCD screen. The display shows the
Template's name and location in this mode, for example:
Nov-V-Station
When a knob/button is rotated/pressed, the changing value
of MIDI data assigned to it is displayed temporarily. For
example, if Filter Frequency is assigned to Knob 1 on
Continuous Controller number 105 and that knob is
rotated then the following will be briefly shown:
Filter Frequency
(065 will not be a fixed value but will change as the knob is
rotated.) Once the value has been set and the knob/button
has been released, the currently selected Template
reappears after an amount of time set within the GLOBAL
menu (defaults to 1/2 second). See page 20 for more
information on how to edit the GLOBAL Menu.
To view the MIDI data assigned to a particular knob or
button without modifying it, simply hold down the PLAY
button to the left of the LCD screen (not the Transport
control) whilst turning that control. The parameter assigned
to that control is not modified whilst the PLAY button is
held down, only viewed. Alternatively, to see all the
Template controls simultaneously and edit them quickly and
easily on your computer, use the separate Template Editor
application, which can be downloaded free of charge from
novationmusic.com.
GROUP B Button
Although there are only nine knobs and nine buttons visible
on the ReMOTE LE, there are in actual fact double that
amount available for edit; two Groups (A and B) mean that
there are a total of 18 knobs and 18 buttons accessible. The
ReMOTE LE will default to Group A, as indicated by the
GROUP B LED not being lit. Simply press the GROUP B
button to activate the second group of knobs/buttons (the
LED above it will light to show that Group B is activated),
all nine knobs and all nine buttons can now be assigned
completely different parameters within the Template.

Display of X/Y touchpad controls
In PLAY mode, when the touchpad is pressed the display
will show:
X1 = XXX Y1 = XXX
X2 = XXX Y2 = XXX
XXX is the actual value being sent. For example, if the high
value has been set to 10 and the low value 3, then a value
between 3 and 10 will appear. XXX will show 'Off' if that
control within the Touchpad is not activated. Both the X-
axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) can be assigned up to
two parameters, shown by X1/X2 and Y1/Y2. For example,
filter frequency and delay time could both be set to the X-
axis, whilst filter resonance and delay feedback are both
assigned to the Y-axis. Alternatively, just one control could
be assigned to one axis if a simpler function is required.
Display of sustain pedal
If a sustain pedal is connected to the ReMOTE LE's rear
panel input and activated during PLAY mode, the display will
show:
XXX shows 'On' if the MIDI value sent is 64 or 'Off', if the
MIDI value sent is less than 64.
Program mode
In this mode, the PROGRAM LED below the LCD screen
will light and the DATA encoder is used to send a MIDI
Program Change command out to the MIDI or USB port.
This will change the program number (loaded sound/patch)
of the attached software/hardware synth. The Program
Change number will vary from 0 to 127 and loop. The MIDI
channel this data is sent on will be the same as that of the
currently selected Template. The screen will show (where
XXX = 0-127):
MIDI Prog Chang:
Bank Mode
In this mode, the BANK LED below the LCD screen will
light and the DATA encoder will be used send a MIDI Bank
Change command out to the MIDI or USB port. This will
change the bank number (loaded bank of sounds/patches) of
the attached software/hardware synth. The Bank Change
number will vary from 0 to 127 and loop. The MIDI channel
the data will be sent on will be the same as that of the
currently selected Template. The screen will show (where
XXX = 0-127):
