Front Panel Controls and Functions

13.Trigger Pads - The four velocity-sensitive trigger pads can be assigned to send MIDI note or control information, and can be set as either toggle or momentary style buttons. For added control, these pads feature four velocity curves as well as aftertouch.

14.PAD A/B Button - The Trigger Pads are configured into two pad banks, with different set- tings configured to each pad. Press the PAD A/B button to toggle between the two banks.

15.Transport Buttons - The five transport buttons control universal Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play and Record functions (respectively) in the factory default setting. They can also be as- signed to control different parameters in the Setup Mode, similar to the Function Buttons. If you encounter a stuck (hanging) note, press the Rewind and Fast Forward buttons together to send a Panic command to all ports and channels. The Panic command includes “all notes off,”“reset all controllers,”“reset pitch bend” and “reset GM” system messages.

17.TRANSPOSE +/– Buttons - Press the TRANSPOSE buttons to shift the range of the keyboard up or down a maximum of 12 semitones (half-steps).

18.PITCH BEND Wheel - Use this wheel to raise or lower the pitch of notes played on the keyboard.

19.MODULATION Wheel - This wheel is usually used to add vibrato or other expressive effects to a sound being played.

20.Master Volume Slider - This slider sends continuous control data via the USB or MIDI OUT jacks. The Master Volume slider is preset from the factory to control the master volume con- trol. The slider can be assigned to control different parameters in Setup Mode.
