Storing Presets

KeyRig 25 uses “non-volatile” memory allowing presets to be stored even after the keyboard has been switched off. All controller and channel assignments are automatically stored under the current preset number as soon as you confirm a change—there is no need to “save” the preset. Additional settings are also stored including: the program number, bank LSB and bank MSB data, global channel setting, MIDI Out from USB configuration, and last used memory preset.

Duplicating and Organizing Presets

You may want to duplicate or reorganize the order of the presets on your KeyRig 25 controller. For example, let’s say you wanted to copy preset #2 (“Reason Native”) to location #4. This can be done through the following procedure:

1.Recall preset #2 by using the DEC/INC buttons.

2.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button.

3.Press the MEM STORE key on the keyboard.

4.Enter “4” using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons.

5.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

This will save or store the current setup to preset location #4. Note that this operation will overwrite the contents of the existing preset.

Enigma Software

Enigma is a powerful program that allows you to change the settings of any assignable slider, knob, or button on the KeyRig 25 through an easy-to-use graphical user interface. The program also allows you to store a virtually unlimited amount of presets on your computer’s hard drive—a handy tool for users who have created custom presets for each of their MIDI devices. The program is available for free download at www.m-audio.com

Sending a Snap Shot

Snap Shot is a useful function that can be used to synchronize the receiving MIDI device with the controls on your keyboard. When you send a Snap Shot, the current value of each individual MIDI control (button, knob, slider, etc.) will be sent on the channel that the MIDI control is assigned to.. This updates all of the parameters on your MIDI device with the current knob positions on KeyRig 25. The function can also be used as a creative tool, often with interesting and surprising results.

Press the GLOBAL CHAN and MUTE buttons together to send a “Snap Shot.”

TIP: This function can also be used to set up the control parameters at the start of a song. If you set all the controller values to obtain the desired effect levels in your song, you can then record the Snap Shot to ensure the song will always play back with the correct effect levels. To do this, put your sequencer into record mode and press the Snap Shot buttons.

Muting All Controllers

To temporarily mute KeyRig 25’s fader and knobs, press the function button labeled MUTE. The LED displays “OFF” when this function is engaged.

Mute allows you to alter the position of the slider and the knobs without affecting the settings of your software. Note that this function does not affect buttons, the foot switch, pitch bend and modulation controls, or the keyboard. When one of the aforementioned controls is used, mute is disengaged and all controllers are turned back on.

Use this feature if you are switching between presets with the controllers out of position. You will be able to move the controller to a position relative to the software’s controller value, without causing the software’s controller value to jump.
