Control Assign, Data 1, Data 2, Data 3

The Control Assign function (CTRL ASGN) assigns a MIDI continuous control number (MIDI CC), or other MIDI parameter from the table in Appendix B to the selected Knob, Button, Slider, or the Sustain Pedal jack. The Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3 keys define various related aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control.

For example, it is possible to configure a Button to send MIDI note On/Off Data by assigning it to controller number 147. The Data 1 key is used to specify the pitch (note number) of the note played by the button (see Appendix C). The Data 2 key is used to set the Note Off velocity (Velocity Off). The Data 3 key is used to set the Note On velocity (Velocity On), determining how loud the note will sound.

For more details and step-by-step control assignment examples, refer to "Chapter 9: Advanced Programming Functions" on page 23.

Channel Assign

The Channel Assign function (CHAN ASGN) assigns a Knob, Slider, Button or the Pedal jack to a specific MIDI channel.

1.Select the control as described earlier.

2.Press the Advanced button.

3.Press the Channel Assign key - The LED screen will display the current MIDI channel (for example "c.0.2.").

4.Enter the new MIDI channel number using the number keys.

5.Press the Enter key.

When assigned to channel "0", the control (Knob, Slider, Button or Sustain Pedal jack) will transmit on the Global MIDI Channel. For more information, refer to the next section, "Global Channel."

Assigning a Knob, Slider, Button, or Pedal Jack to a Zone channel (Z1 - Z4), will link the control to the same MIDI channel number as used by the associated keyboard Zone. For further instructions on assigning a MIDI channel to a Zone, please refer to "Chapter 8: Zone Keys" on page 18.

*Enter numbers 17 - 20 to associate a control with the same MIDI Channel as used by one of the four keyboard Zones, Z1 - Z4. Alternatively, use the -/+ buttons to step through all available channel selections (1 - 16; Z1 - Z4)

Keyboard Entry	LED Screen	Keyboard Zone
17	z1	Zone 1
18	z2	Zone 2
19	z3	Zone	3
20	z4	Zone	4

NOTE: When a control is assigned to send SysEx messages, the displayed number represents the SysEx Device ID instead of the MIDI transmit channel number. For more information about SysEx messages, please refer to "Chapter 10: MIDI Messages Defined" on page 34.
