About Query Mode

When a switch is set to Query, it will not send a command. When pressed, it puts the whole unit into Query mode.

In Query mode, no commands are sent, but the LCD will display all the assignment parameters for the last control activated.

Notice

In the initialized state, from the factory, the M buttons have "MMC" selected, which is one of the last menu items.

If you want to assign an M button to send a Note or Controller, for example, you will be rotating the encoder significantly counter-clockwise to select and earlier menu item.

Number

Selects the Controller, Note, or Program number.

For M Buttons, when set to MMC, number is the targeted Machine ID number.

Channel

Selects MIDI Channel 1 through 16.

Minimum (or Release Velocity)

Minimum controller or note off velocity value.

If the switch is Latch Off (see below), this is the value sent when the switch is released.

If the switch is Latch On (see below), this is the value sent every other press, when the LED turns off.
