Creative E-MU manual Transposing the Keyboard, Changing Controller CC Channel Numbers

Basic Operations

Transposing the Keyboard

The keyboard can be transposed up and down ±4 octaves by pressing the Octave Transpose buttons. The octave

number appears momentarily in the display. The LED on

the transpose button remains lit to remind you that the keyboard is transposed. The transposition value is stored with the patch.

Octave Transpose works differently depending on your zones settings:

•With Zones disabled, the keyboard is simply transposed by octaves.

•With Zones enabled and Octave Transpose Mode set to Pre Zone(page 56), the keyboard is transposed, but each Zone’s tuning stays the same.

•With Zones enabled and Octave Transpose Mode set to Post Zone(page 56), any Zone that has Post Zone Octave Transpose enabled (page 59) is trans- posed, while the keyboard’s tuning stays the same.

Changing Controller CC Channel Numbers

You can change MIDI continuous controller numbers (0-127) for each knob, pedal, or the Mod Wheel on the Xboard. The Xboard CC numbers must match the CC numbers on your synthesizer in order to operate.

To Change Controller CC Channel Numbers:

1.Press the Edit button.

2.Move the controller you want to change. This can be any of the 16 controller knobs, a pedal, or the Mod Wheel. The Enter button blinks and the display shows you the controller’s current CC Channel number.

3.Select the desired CC Channel 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.

4.Press Enter to confirm the operation. Or, press Home to cancel the operation.

16 Channel Control Mode

16 Channel Control mode is a special performance mode in which all 16 knobs send one CC number on MIDI channels 1 through 16. This allows you to control a single parameter on all 16 MIDI channels. For example, if the controller number were set to #7 (Channel Volume), the knobs could be used to mix the volumes of all 16 MIDI channels.
