Setting mode

In Setting mode you can set both the Scene parameters (the assignment of each controller, etc.) and the Global parameters (overall settings for the entire KONTROL49).

Setting mode is divided into sixteen pages.

Hold down the [SETTING] key (the main display shows “MenuPad?”) and press one of the pads listed below to move to the corresponding page of parameter settings.

If you hold down the [EXIT] key and press the [SETTING] key, the main display will show “MenuPad?” and the KONTROL49 will wait for you to press one of the pads to select a page.

About the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR keys, [ENTER] key, and [EXIT] key

In Setting mode, the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [√]/[®] keys act as cursor keys to move between parameters.

When you hold down the [SETTING] key and press a pad to enter a page in this mode, the key(s) will light green to indicate the direction(s) in which you can move. You cannot move in a direction whose key is dark or lit red. You can return to the beginning of the selected page by holding down the [®] key and pressing the [√] key.

(RED) (GREEN)

: You can move toward the right to another parameter

(GREEN) (RED)

: You can move toward the left to another parameter

When you arrive at the last parameter, the [ENTER] key will blink. Press the [ENTER] key to apply the setting and return to Play mode. If you press

[ENTER] before you arrive at the last parameter, your settings up to that point will be applied and you will return to Play mode.

Press the [EXIT] key if you decide to discard your changes before pressing [ENTER].
