Draw Bar Mode; Muting All Controllers - Evolution Technologies EVOLUTION MK-425C Getting Started

Draw Bar Mode

In DRAW BAR mode, the faders of the keyboard will be reversed – such that 0 is at the
top, while 127 is at the bottom.
To engage DRAW BAR mode, press the dual press function
buttons (7) labelled accordingly.
When DRAW BAR mode is engaged, the LCD display indicates this by dis-
playing the FADER symbol. Press the CHANNEL and RECALL buttons to disengage
DRAW BAR mode. DRAW BAR MODE is meant for use with Hammond organ type
synths that have draw bars. In fact, the B4 preset you used in the previous sections al-
ready has drawbar mode engaged, which is why the faders moved in the direction you
would expect. This feature is not applicable to the MK-425C.

Muting All Controllers

To Mute all faders and rotary controllers, press the dual press function
buttons labelled CTRL MUTE buttons (7).
This feature allows you to alter the position of any fader or rotary controller without
affecting the settings of your software. CTRL MUTE does not affect buttons, the foot
switch or the keyboard. As soon as an assignable button, a function key or the keyboard
is pressed, the controllers are turned back on. While Controller Mute is engaged, the
LCD display "Off"
This is a very useful feature if you are switching between presets with the controllers out
of position. You will be able to move the controller to a position relative to the software's
controller value, rather than causing the software's controller value to jump.
You can also use this feature for creative mixing and interesting DJ type control. If for
instance you use the faders for conventional volume mixer, try engaging the controller
mute function, change the volume up or down of various channels and press the SNAP
SHOT buttons. This form of mixing is very dynamic and can not be done using a
conventional mixer.
