Data Button Assignment Options:

1. Octave Shift (Default Data button assignment)

By default, the Data “<” and “>” buttons control octave shift of the ProKeys Sono 61 keyboard.. Pressing the Data > button (right) will shift the notes played on the keyboard up by one octave.. Pressing the Data < button (left) will shift the notes played on the keyboard down by one octave.. Pressing both Data buttons together will restore the default octave (Octave shift = 0)..

If you have changed the Data button assignment and would like to re-assign the Data buttons to control octave shift again:

1.Press the Edit Mode button..

2.Press the black key above C2 (C#2), representing Data = Octave.. ProKeys Sono will exit Edit mode as soon as C#2 has been pressed..

The LEDs above the buttons indicate the direction of the octave shift.. An additional method of shifting the ProKeys Sono octave is described in the “ProKeys MIDI Output Settings” chapter of this User Guide..

2. Transpose

In many cases it is useful to increase or decrease the transmitted pitch by a small number of semitones.. For example, you may be playing a song with a singer and the singer is having trouble hitting the high notes.. In this case, you can try reducing the pitch by one or more semitones.. This is achieved using a function called “Transpose..”

To assign the Data “<“ and “>” buttons to transpose:

1.Press the Edit Mode button..

2.Press the black key above D2 (D#2), representing “Data = Transpose..” ProKeys Sono will exit Edit mode as soon as D#2 has been pressed..

When the Data buttons are assigned to transpose the keyboard, the LEDs above the buttons indicate the direction of the transposition.. To return the keyboard’s transpose shift to zero, press both the Data “<” and “>” buttons at the same time.. An additional method of transposing ProKeys Sono is described in the “ProKeys MIDI Output Settings” chapter of this User Guide..

3. Channel

MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI channels.. The ProKeys Sono default is to transmit MIDI data on channel one.. However, certain MIDI performance or recording scenarios may require the keyboard to send data on a different channel..

The Data “<” and “>” buttons can be configured to control the MIDI transmission channel setting.. This will allow the Data “<” and “>” buttons to decrement or increment through the channels.. When channel 16 is reached and “>” is pressed, channel one will be selected..

To assign the Data “<” and “>” buttons to alter the MIDI transmission channel:

1.Press the Edit Mode button..

2.Press the black key above C3 (C#3), representing Data = Channel.. ProKeys Sono will exit Edit mode as soon as C#3 has been pressed..

If the Data “<“ and “>” buttons are assigned to adjust the MIDI channel, the LEDs above the buttons will not change, since it is not possible to have a channel with a negative value.. Pressing both the “<” and “>” buttons together will recall the default setting, channel one.. An additional method of shifting the ProKeys Sono MIDI transmission channel is described in the “ProKeys MIDI Output Settings” chapter of this User Guide..
