Controller LEDs

Controller Initialization Function

Each controller has a corresponding LED that indicates its status. Some controller
LEDs are located directly above their controllers (PITCH, MODULATION 1, and
MODULATION 2 wheels), while others are lined up vertically just to the left of the
keyboard. Each LED can be in any of four states: solid RED, flashing RED, GREEN,
or OFF.
Solid RED
Solid RED means that the controller is assigned to a parameter but is not yet within the
effective range. This condition arises when the Controller Hook function is ON and
the controller's actual position has not yet moved past the internal controller setting
established by a SCENE button or the SCENE CONTROLLER. Thus, a discrepancy
exists between the physical controller position and the internal controller setting.
Flashing RED
Flashing RED means that the controller is effective for at least one element, but has
still not reached effective position for at least one other element. This condition occurs
when the Controller Hook function is ON and you have moved the controller past the
internal controller setting(s) for one or more of the voice's elements, but has not yet
moved it past the setting for at least one other of the voice's elements. (Remember that
a single voice consists of up to four elements, and the controller operates
independently for each element.)
GREEN
A GREEN indication means that the controller is currently effective for all elements of
the voice. If Controller Hook is OFF, all assigned controllers will be indicated by
GREEN LEDs. (In some cases a LED may be red when you first call a scene, but
immediately switches to GREEN as soon as you move the controller.) If Control Hook
is ON, the LED becomes GREEN at the moment when the controller becomes
effective for all of the voice's elements.
OFF
The controller is not assigned to any parameter.
The Controller Init setting determines whether existing controller settings are retained
when you switch to a new voice. (
Controller Init = OFF
The existing controller positions remain in effect when you switch to a new voice. If
there is any difference between physical and internal controller settings, the VP1
immediately changes the internal settings so that they match the physical settings.
Controller Init = ON
Switching to a new voice automatically switches the controller environment to the
"initial" scene. You can set up any of the scenes (Scenes 1 to 3) as the initial scene; for
information, refer to the REFERENCE section. (
