Use the DATA +/– buttons or numerical keys to select the desired Preset. The name of the Preset will appear in the

first row of the display. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice, and the keyboard will load the new Preset settings for all slider, knobs and buttons. Pressing the MAIN button will cancel the selection and return to the previous Preset. There are 3 categories of presets:

GRAPHITE Preset

Preset 1 is configured for the Master Volume slider to control the master volume, and the encoders to control channel pan and volume for four channels at a time in Zone

1.Using this preset will get you started working with almost any standalone USB/MIDI device or audio software.

You can edit the Preset for each component in Setup Mode, and save your changes. The settings for Master Volume slider, encoders E1–E8 and function buttons F1–F4 can be organized into four banks, which can be accessed by pressing the BANK ◀ or ▶ buttons. The active MIDI channels for all encoders can be shifted up or down by one channel by pressing the CHANNEL ◀ or ▶ buttons.

Remote Control Presets

Presets 2–16 are designed for specific software titles, with the controls set to access the most common functions directly from the Graphite 25. The communication between the computer and the keyboard is bidirectional, and information from the software will appear on the Graphite’s display. You can edit the Presets in Setup Mode and save your changes to further customize the parameters to suit your needs.

The Master Volume slider is used for master volume control. Encoders E1–E4 are used for channel pan control; E5–E8 are used for channel volume control. F1–F4 are used for channel Record for all software. The BANK and CHANNEL buttons are used to change the channels controlled within the software. The remote control message is sent through output Port 5 to the computer, and the message from the computer is received through input Port B of the keyboard.

Note: When you move the master volume slider on the computer, its data will be sent to the keyboard in real time, and it will be shown on the display, but it cannot affect the physical position of the slider on the keyboard. When you move the Master Volume slider on the keyboard, the message will not be transmitted until it reaches the value and position of the slider in the software. This eliminates any unexpected level jumps when the slider is moved.

User Presets

Presets 17–30 are User presets that can be fully customized to create your layout. The default settings for each User preset is the same as in Preset 1.

The User Preset also includes information about the contents of settings, for all zones, and activity status. Zone edit results are saved to the current activated Preset automati- cally.
