Program Mode

Program Mode allows you to select and load a Program. MAX25 has several default Programs we created to work specifically with some popular DAWs or plug-ins, but you may also create/edit, store, and load your own Programs.

To select/load a Program:

1.Press [PROGRAM]. (Each time MAX25 is first powered on, it will automatically be in Program Mode.) The LCD will show the current Program name (flashing).

2.Turn the VALUE DIAL to browse through the list of available Programs.

3.Press the VALUE DIAL to load the desired Program.

Note: As a shortcut, you can hold [SHIFT] then press one of the following buttons to access certain Programs:

•[PROGRAM] = the last used Program

•[MACKIE CONTROL] = Mackie Control protocol

•[HUI] = HUI control protocol

Notes:

•You can also load a Sequence while in Program Mode. To do this, use the up/down CURSOR BUTTONS to select the Sequence number field, turn the VALUE DIAL to browse through the Sequences, then press the VALUE DIAL to load it to the Sequencer.

•You can also transpose an entire Program while in Program Mode. To do this, hold down both OCTAVE DOWN / UP buttons and press the desired key on the keyboard. The Program will be transposed accordingly. (The note you selected will become the note that plays on the keyboard's middle C key.)

To edit a program, please refer to the earlier Edit Mode section.

To store your current settings as a Program,

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [STORE]. The LCD will show "Store Program" at the top.

2.Turn the VALUE DIAL to select the Program to which you want to save your Program. (By default, the current Program will appear here.)

3.To rename the program, use the CURSOR BUTTON to select the Name field. The first character of the field will flash:

4.Turn the VALUE DIAL to browse through the available letters/numbers. When it displays the desired letter/number, use the left/right CURSOR BUTTONS to skip to the next character.

5.When you are ready to store the Program, press the VALUE DIAL. You can cancel the process by simply pressing a button other than [PROGRAM] or the VALUE DIAL.

Global Mode

1.To enter Global Mode, press [GLOBAL].

2.In each page of Global Mode:

•Use the up/down CURSOR BUTTONS to move through the parameters on the current page.

•Use the left/right CURSOR BUTTONS to move between different pages.

•Turn the VALUE DIAL to change the currently selected value/setting. Any value/setting is automatically selected; you do not have to press the VALUE DIAL to enter or select it.

IMPORTANT: To store your global settings, see the Utility section below.

See the following sections for specific information about each control's editable parameters.
