Advanced MIDI Features in Edit Mode

15

The button to the left of the keys labeled “Edit Mode” is used to access additional advanced functions of the keyboard. When this button is pressed, the keyboard will enter Edit mode and the keys on the keyboard can be used to select functions and enter data.

The light above the Edit Mode button indicates whether or not the keyboard is in Edit mode. When in Edit mode, the black keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions, while the white keys are used for data entry and channel selection.

Your keyboard will exit Edit mode as soon as either a function is selected or the CANCEL or ENTER key is pressed. The light above the Edit Mode button will turn off and the keyboard can then be used to play notes again. Some functions do not require confirmation via the Enter or Cancel keys. When these functions are selected, the keyboard will automatically exit Edit mode and return to Performance mode.

Note: Not every music application can process all types of MIDI messages. Please consult your software’s documentation for information on what messages it can accept.
