Modes and menus

The ReMOTE LE has three main modes of operation,
selected by pressing the corresponding button: PLAY, EDIT
and GLOBAL. The LED to the left of the button indicates
which mode is active. The WRITE button does not activate
a mode, but is used to save settings within EDIT and
GLOBAL modes.
PLAY mode
Press the PLAY button to the left of the screen to access
this mode (the LED to the left of the button must be
active). PLAY mode is used for normal performance,
meaning controlling software or hardware using the
keyboard and MIDI controls. There are three different
modes within PLAY mode, chosen by the SELECT button
below the screen and indicated by the three LEDs to the
left of it:
The three modes are Template, Bank and Program. See
page 10 to read more about detailed PLAY mode operation.
Template mode
This mode allows the selection and operating of the
ReMOTE LE's onboard Templates. Within this mode, the
currently loaded Template name will be displayed on the
screen until a knob/button is moved, upon which the
control values set for that knob/button will appear
temporarily. PLAY mode will load as default when the
ReMOTE LE is powered up. Use the DATA encoder to
scroll between the 16 onboard Templates.
Program mode
This mode allows the ReMOTE LE to change the MIDI
program number of a software or hardware synthesizer
using the DATA encoder (e.g. load a different sound). Just
press the SELECT button on the ReMOTE LE whilst in
PLAY mode until the Program LED is lit and then use the
DATA encoder to scroll through the attached synth's
sounds.
Bank mode
This mode allows the ReMOTE LE to change the MIDI bank
on a software or hardware synthesizer using the DATA
encoder (e.g. load up a different bank of sounds). Just press
the SELECT button on the ReMOTE LE whilst in PLAY
mode until the Bank LED is lit and then use the DATA
encoder to scroll through the attached synth's sound banks.
EDIT mode
Pressing the EDIT button (once or twice) accesses the two
EDIT modes respectively (the LED to the left of the button
will be lit continuously or flashing depending on which EDIT
mode is active). The EDIT modes are used to change or
define the individual parameters assigned to a particular
knob/button within the currently selected template, such as
filter cut-off information for Knob 1, or the common
parameters for the whole template, such as the velocity
curve used by the keyboard mechanism. See page 11 for
more information on how to use EDIT mode.
GLOBAL mode
GLOBAL mode is used to edit the various settings that
apply to the ReMOTE LE across all Templates. Press the
GLOBAL button to select this mode (the LED to the left of
the button must be active). See page 20 for more
information on how to make GLOBAL changes.
