Group B:
24 Rotary knobs
8 buttons below the rotary knobs
Group C:
9 Faders
9 buttons below the faders
To clarify the group a controller belongs to, each assignable controller has been labeled
with a letter and a number. The letter represents the controller’s group designation.
When you press STORE or RECALL, you will see the LEDs above the ZONE/GROUP
buttons flashing. Group mode is automatically selected, and the flashing LEDs represent
the Groups that the MEMORY STORE/RECALL will apply to. When you press STORE,
all groups are selected automatically. If you press RECALL, the group settings for the
last recall are remembered and selected accordingly.
Example 1: Storing Only the Faders (to preset 3):
1. Press the STORE button.
2. Press the “Group A” and “Group B” buttons. Only GROUP should be flashing on the
LCD display.
3. Enter “03” using the numerical keypad or +/- buttons.
Example 2: Recalling only the Zone Settings (of Preset 2):
1. Press the RECALL button.
2. Ensure Groups B and C are not selected. By pressing the group buttons for groups
B and C, the LCD should not display them.
3. Ensure Group A is selected by pressing the “Group A” button until Group A is
displayed in the LCD.
3. Enter “02” using the numeric keypad or the +/- buttons.
Programming Zones
As stated in the Getting Started Guide, it is possible to split your keyboard into four
Zones. Each Zone can be assigned an upper key limit and lower key limit to specify
keyboard Zone assignments.
This is achieved in Zone Edit mode, by pressing the Zone Range* button. Each Zone
can be enabled or disabled by pressing the correct Zone button. When programming
Zones, the channel selection is important. It is not possible to control multiple
instruments if the Zones are assigned to the same channel.
Let’s recall Group A, preset 2, to serve as an example. In this preset, Zones 1 to 4 have been
set to control a piano, strings, bass and organ in your sequencer. However, each Zone has
been assigned a different MIDI channel to keep the data for each instrument separate.
Assigning a number of Zones to the same channel allows you to produce an interesting
harmonic effect. It is only possible to control a single instrument in this case.
