Main Panel Controls
6. Octave Down
This button transposes the keyboard down one octave each time it is pressed.
The octave transpose value (-1, -2, -3, -4) momentarily appears in the display
and the LED on the button remains lit.
7. Octave Up
This button transposes the keyboard up one octave each time it is pressed. The
octave transpose value (+1, +2, +3, +4) momentarily appears in the display
and the LED on the button remains lit.
MIDI Panic Button (6 + 7)
Pressing both of the Octave Transpose buttons simultaneously causes the
following MIDI messages to be sent on all 16 channels: "All Notes Off", "All
Sounds Off", "Sustain Pedal Off". This will turn off any "stuck notes" which
occur when a synthesizer receives a note-on message without receiving a corre-
sponding note-off message.
8. Patch Select
This button is used to select one of the 16 user patches in memory.
To Select a Patch: Press the Patch Select button, then choose a patch using the
data slider or numeric keys and press Enter.
9. MIDI Channel Select
This button selects the active MIDI channel for the keyboard and all controls.
To Select a MIDI Channel: Press the MIDI Channel button, then select the
channel using the data slider or numeric keys, and press Enter.
10. 16 Channel Control Mode
In this mode, one MIDI Continuous Controller number is assigned to all 16
knobs and each numbered knob transmits on the same numbered MIDI
channel. This gives you control of one parameter (such as volume or pan) for
all 16 MIDI channels. See page 24 for detailed information.
11. Latch Mode
In this mode, pressed keys continue to play until they are pressed again to turn
them off. This allows notes to be sustained for any length of time without
having to hold down the keys. A range of latch keys can be defined using the
"Latch High Note" and "Latch Low Note" edit parameters. See page 25.
12. Knob Bypass
Knob Bypass disables the transmission of MIDI messages from the knobs or
control pedal/footswitch to avoid abrupt parameter jumps in performance.
