BASIC OPERATIONS

Entering Data

There are several ways to enter data from the Xboard.

•Data Slider - Move the slider to select the data value.

•Octave Transpose buttons - Increment and decrement by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons.

•Keyboard Data Entry - The black and white keyboard keys marked with numbers can be used to directly enter data values (except when changing the MIDI channel number or storing and selecting patches, since the keyboard remains “live” at these times).

•Numeric Keypad (Xboard 61 only) - Type in the value using keys 1-10. See page 22.

Selecting and Storing Patches

The Xboard can hold 16 patches in its internal memory. A patch contains the settings for all user programmable controls of the Xboard.

In addition, depending on the patch settings, the Xboard can send MIDI program changes message(s) and initial controller settings for the knobs, wheels and footswitch/pedal when a particular patch is selected.

To Select a Patch Using the Main Panel:

1.Press the Patch Select button, illuminating the LED. The Enter button and Program Change Mode button (Xboard 61) begin flashing.

2.Select the desired patch number using the Data Slider or the Octave Transpose + and - buttons. On the Xboard 61, you can also use the Direct Patch Select buttons 1 through 16.

On the Xboard 61, the new patch you selected begins flashing.

3.Press Enter to confirm the operation. Press Home to cancel the operation.
