To select an alternate function:
1.Press the Edit Mode button.
2.Press the black key that represents the function you want to assign to the Octave buttons. KeyRig 49 will exit Edit mode as soon as you push one of these keys.
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the functions that the Octave buttons can be used for cannot send out a value less than zero. When used to control these functions, both lights above the buttons will remain on, regardless of the current setting of that function.
The available functions of the octave buttons are:
Octave Shift
The Octave “<” and “>” buttons control octave shift by default. However, if these keys have been programmed to control another function, you may wish to
To assign the Octave “<” and “>” buttons to control octave shift:
1.Press the Edit Mode button.
2.Press the black key above C1 (C#1), representing DATA = OCTAVE. KeyRig 49 will exit Edit mode as soon as C#1 has been pressed.
Another method of shifting KeyRig 49’s octaves is with the use of the black keys labeled OCTAVE “+,”
1.Press the Edit Mode button.
2.Press the black key below B2 (Bb2). In Edit mode, this key functions as “OCTAVE +,” shifting the keyboard up one octave. It is possible to shift the keyboard up a total of four octaves.
3.Press the black key above F2 (F#2). In Edit mode, this key functions as “OCTAVE
4.Press the black key above G2 (G#2). In Edit mode, this key functions as “OCTAVE 0” to reset the octave shift to zero.
5.When you have chosen your octave shift, either press C5 representing “ENTER,” or press the Edit Mode button to exit Edit mode.
Transpose
In some cases it is useful to increase or decrease the transmitted pitch by a small number of semitones rather than a whole octave. 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.”
Transpose works similar to octave shift, except the shift is not limited to multiples of 12
To assign the Octave “<” and “>” buttons to transpose:
1.Press the Edit Mode button.
2.Press the black key above D1 (D#1), representing “DATA = TRANSPOSE.” KeyRig will exit Edit mode as soon as D#1 has been pressed.
When the Octave buttons are assigned to transpose the keyboard, the lights above the buttons indicate the direction of the transposition. To return the keyboard’s transpose shift to zero, press both the Octave “<” and “>” buttons at the same time.
