TIMBRE/TRACK
TIMBRE/TRACK lets you use the control surface to
adjust the volume, pan, EQ, and send levels for OSC
1/2 or EXi 1/2 in Program mode, the current
Multisample in Sample mode, and each of the 16
Timbres or Tracks in Combi and Sequence modes.
The LEDs to the right of the switch show whether
you're currently editing Timbres (or Tracks) 1‐8 or 9‐16;
press the TIMBRE/TRACK button to toggle between
the two.
If you switch to one of the other Control Assign modes,
and then go back to TIMBRE/TRACK, it will
automatically return to the previously selected group
(1‐8 or 9‐16).
AUDIO
AUDIO lets you use the control surface to adjust the
volume, play/mute status, solo, pan, and send levels of
the analog inputs and S/P DIF audio inputs. In
Sequencer mode, you can also choose to control hard
disk recording tracks 1–8 (HDR 1‐8) or 9–16 (HDR 9‐
16).
As with TIMBRE/TRACK, if you switch to one of the
other Control Assign modes, and then go back to
AUDIO, it will automatically return to the previously
selected group (Inputs, HDR 1‐8 or HDR 9‐16).
EXTERNAL
EXTERNAL lets you use the control surface to transmit
MIDI messages to external MIDI devices.
R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA
R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA lets you modulate sounds
and effects with the knobs, and control KARMA with
the sliders and switches.
TONE ADJUST
TONE ADJUST gives you hands‐on access to sound
editing, using the sliders, knobs, and switches. In
Combi and Sequence modes, it also lets you edit
Programs within the context of the Combi or Song,
without making any changes to the original Program
data.
More information on the Control Surface
For more information on how the Control Surface
works in the different modes, see:
• Program mode: "0–9: Control Surface" on page 18
of the Parameter Guide
• Combi mode: "0–9: Control Surface" on page 389 of
the Parameter Guide
• Sequence mode: "0–9: Control Surface" on page 493
of the Parameter Guide
Knob & Slider LEDs
Each knob has a ring of LEDs, which shows the current
value of the knob's parameter. Similarly, each slider has
a strip of LEDs. As you select different CONTROL
ASSIGN buttons, you'll notice that all of the LEDs
change to show the values for the newly selected
mode.
Front and rear panels
The knobs and sliders have a much wider range of
values than there are LEDs in the rings and strips, so
the values shown are only approximate. Also, note that
the minimum value of the slider is shown by having no
LEDs lit.
MIXER KNOBS button
This applies only when CONTROL ASSIGN is set to
TIMBRE/TRACK or AUDIO. It toggles the knobs
between controlling the pan of all channels or
controlling the pan, EQ, and sends of the currently
selected channel.
SOLO button
This applies only when CONTROL ASSIGN is set to
TIMBRE/TRACK or AUDIO. It toggles the SELECT
buttons between selecting the current Oscillator,
Timbre, Track, or Audio Input (when SOLO is off) or
soloing the channel (when SOLO is on).
For more information on SOLO in the various modes,
see:
Programs: "SOLO switch and SELECT switches 1–2"
on page 21 of the Parameter Guide
Combinations: "Solo switch and Select switches 1–8"
on page 391 of the Parameter Guide
Sequencer: "Solo switch and Select switches 1/9–8/16"
on page 495 of the Parameter Guide
8. VALUE entry
When you've selected a parameter on the
TouchView™ display, you can edit it using any of the
four front‐panel value entry controls:
• The VALUE slider
• The Inc and Dec
• The VALUE dial
• The numeric keypad
VALUE slider
Use this to edit the selected
parameter's value. This control is
convenient for making large changes
to the value, such as moving quickly to
the minimum or maximum setting.
You can use the value slider as a
modulation source, but only when the
following are true:
• You're on the Program mode P0‐Main page, and
the big Program name is selected, or
• You're on the Combination mode P0– Prog
Select/Mixer page, and the big Combination name
is selected.
In these cases only, the value slider sends MIDI CC#18,
and can be used as a modulation source.
Inc and Dec buttons
These are used to increase or decrease the parameter
value by individual steps. They're convenient for
making fine parameter adjustments.
