Program Mode Overview

KeyRig 25 has two modes of operation: Program mode and Performance mode. Most of the time, the controller stays in Performance mode so you can play regularly—Program mode is only used when you need to configure various parameters like knob assignments. Use the ADVANCED FUNCTION button to enter and exit Program mode (a small dot appears on the lower-right hand side of the display whenever you are in Program mode).

•Once you have entered Program mode, you can select different parameters to edit by pressing one of the keys on the left half of the keyboard. The function of each key is written directly above the key:

•Each of the assignable controllers on KeyRig 25 can send MIDI CC, RPN/NRPN, GM 1&2, and SysEx messages on its own individual MIDI channel.

•Certain parameters will require you to enter additional information such as MIDI channel or CC number. Use the 0-9 keys (on the right hand of the keyboard) or the DEC/INC buttons to set these values. The LED display will indicate the current value.

•If you’ve entered a number, use the Enter key to confirm the entry. If you’ve changed your mind, press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button to exit Program mode without changing any settings.

Assigning MIDI CCs

To edit a MIDI CC mapping for a button, knob, or slider:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button and move or push the controller that you wish to assign.

2.Press the CTRL ASGN key. The LED display will show the MIDI CC number of your selected controller.

3.Enter a new MIDI CC value using the numerical data entry keys, or the DEC/INC buttons. The LED will display your new CC number.

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm the entry and exit Program mode.

Assigning MIDI Channels

The following procedure describes how to set any of the assignable controls on KeyRig 25 to transmit on a unique MIDI channel:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button and move or push the controller that you wish to assign.

2.Press the CHAN ASGN key. The LED display will show the current channel assignment of the selected controller.

3.Enter the new MIDI channel number using the numerical data entry keys or the DEC/INC buttons. The LED will display the new channel number.
