Parts and what they do

Front panel

Vector joystick

You can assign separate control change messages to the up/down and left/right (X and Y) axes.

Switch 1, Switch 2

You can use these switches in either the one-parameter (Inc/Dec type) or two- parameter (SW ⋅ 2) mode.

• One-parameter mode assigns a single control change or program change to both switches, allowing the value to be increased or decreased by SW1 and SW2.

•Two-parameter mode lets you assign completely separate messages (damper, sostenuto, soft pedal, portamento, or other control change) to SW1 and SW2.

Bend/Mod Wheels

You can assign MIDI messages to these wheels and use them to control a connected device or an application on your computer.

•BEND can be assigned to pitch bend, master balance, aftertouch, velocity, or a control change.

•MOD WHEEL can be assigned to aftertouch, velocity, or a control change.

Keyboard

This is a full-size 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard. It transmits note messages.

Main display

In each mode this displays the scene name, page, parameters, and other information.

TEMPO LED

The TEMPO LED blinks every quarter-note, according to the MIDI Clock tempo speciﬁed by the main encoder.

Main encoder

In Play mode you can use this to adjust the MIDI Clock tempo or to transmit program changes. In other modes this is used to edit parameters.

Trigger pads

You can assign control changes or note messages (C-1–G9) to the trigger pads. When assigning a control change, you can choose to transmit a value of 127 when the pad is pressed and 0 when released, or alternately transmit values of 0 and 127 each time the pad

is pressed. When assigning a note message, you can specify whether a note-on (with velocity) will be transmitted when the pad is pressed and a note-off when released, or alternately transmit both note-on and note-off messages each time the pad is pressed.

In other modes, you can use the trigger pads to select pages, to input numerical values, or perform various other functions depending on the mode. (☞p.4 “About the trigger pad functions”)
