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.
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.
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.
