Operation–Setting mode

Setting mode

In Setting mode you can set both the Scene parameters (the assignment of
each controller, etc.) and the Global parameters (overall settings for the
entire microKONTROL).
Setting mode is divided into sixteen pages.
Hold down the [SETTING] key (the main display shows "MenuPad?") and
press one of the pads listed below to move to the corresponding page of
parameter settings.
If you hold down the [EXIT] key and press the [SETTING] key, the main
display will show "MenuPad?" and the microKONTROL will wait for you
to select a page ("mode lock"). You can press a pad to select a page from this
state as well.

About the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR keys, [ENTER] key, and [EXIT]
key
In Setting mode, the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [√]/[®] keys act as cursor
keys to move between parameters.
When you hold down the [SETTING] key and press a pad to enter a page in
this mode, the key(s) will light green to indicate the direction(s) in which
you can move. You cannot move in a direction whose key is dark or lit red.
You can return to the first page by holding down the [®] key and pressing
the [√] key.

When you arrive at the last page, the [ENTER] key will blink. Press the
[ENTER] key to apply the setting and return to Play mode. If you press
[ENTER] before you arrive at the last page, your settings up to that point
will be applied and you will return to Play mode.
Press the [EXIT] key if you decide to discard your changes before pressing
[ENTER].
