Local Control On/Off and the Control Surface
The Control Surface generates and receives MIDI CCs
and System Exclusive messages, so that you can record
knob, switch, and slider movements into a sequencer.
This means that the Global mode Local Control setting
is important:
• If Local Control is On, the physical Control Surface
will work properly as long as MIDI is not being
looped back into the OASYS.
• If Local Control is Off, you must loop back MIDI
into the OASYS in order for the physical Control
Surface to work properly.
• Regardless of the Local Control setting, you can
always edit Control Surface parameters via the
touch-screen.
For more information, see "Local Control and the
Control Surface" on page 651.
Control Assign Switches and Tabs
You can switch the Control Surface between its
different functions using either the tabs on the left side
of the LCD display, or the front-panel Control Assign
switches. The tabs and the front-panel switches mirror
one another; when you change one of them, the other
changes as well.
Control Assign switches
In Sequencer mode, you can select one of six different
functions:
TIMBRE/TRACK lets you adjust the volume, pan, EQ,
and send levels for each of the 16 Tracks, eight at a
time. The LEDs to the right of the switch show whether
you're currently editing Tracks 1–8 or 9–16; press the
TIMBRE/TRACK button to toggle between the two.
438
INPUTS
HDR 1-8
HDR 9-16 6
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).
The AUDIO button lets you control both the HDR
Audio Tracks, and the Audio Inputs. The LEDs to the
right of the switch show whether you're currently
editing HDR Tracks 1–8, HDR Tracks 9–16, or the
Audio Inputs; press the AUIDIO button repeatedly to
step through the three options.
As with TIMBRE/TRACK above, the Control Surface
remembers your last selection under AUDIO. 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.
AUDIO HDR 1–8 and HDR 9–16 let you adjust the
volume, pan, EQ, and send levels for each of the 16
hard-disk Audio Tracks, eight at a time.
AUDIO INPUTS lets you adjust the volume, pan, and
send levels for the analog and S/P DIF audio inputs.
EXTERNAL lets you send MIDI messages to external
MIDI devices.
R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA lets you modulate sounds
and effects with the knobs, and control KARMA with
the sliders and switches.
TONE ADJUST lets you edit Programs within the
context of the Song, and without making any changes
to the original Program data. You also get hands-on
access to these edits, using the sliders, knobs, and
switches.
You can freely change back and forth between the
different functions, without losing any of your edits.
Front-panel LEDs for sliders and knobs
There's a vertical column of LEDs next to each slider,
and a ring of LEDs around each knob. Similarly, each
of the switches has an LED to show whether it's on or
off.
As you switch between the different Control Assign
settings, you'll notice that the LEDs change to show the
current values for all of the controllers.
You can edit these values using either the physical
sliders, knobs, and switches, or by selecting the on-
screen parameters and using the standard data entry
controls. When you edit a value using the LCD and
data entry, you'll notice that the LEDs on the sliders,
knobs, and switches reflect the change as well.
Jump/Catch
When you change the Control Assign setting, the
physical position of the knobs or sliders may be
different than the parameter value, as shown by the
LEDs.
The Knob/Slider Mode parameter, under System
Preferences on the Global mode Basic page, determines
how and when moving the physical slider or knob will
start to edit the parameter value.
When it is set to Jump, the parameter will snap to the
physical position as soon as you start to move the knob
or slider. Use this if you'd like the parameters to
respond instantly to controller movements.
