Setup Mode
7-3
To edit the control setup, press the Edit button while the CtlSetup parameter is highlighted on
the MIDI-mode TRANSMIT page. This brings you to the Setup Editor, which is described in the
following sections. The following table shows which control-setup parameters affect controller
assignments in Program mode.
Physical controller destinations, their curves and states, and the Arpeggiator parameters all
define controller assignments for programs in Program mode. The other parameters have no
effect; this keeps Program mode relatively simple. Program mode lets you change values for
transposition, MIDI channels, and programs independently of the control setup.
Once you save changes to the control setup, those changes will affect all programs when you are
in Program mode. For example, programming the Large Ribbon in the control setup to have
three sections will mean that in every program in Program mode, you will have a three-section
Large Ribbon.
You may want to program several different control setups, and switch among them for different
applications. Suppose, for example, that you’re recording a song, but you don’t want to record
aftertouch. You can create a setup with pressure turned off in Zone 1 (on the PRESS page in the
Setup Editor, set the value of the Press parameter to Off for Zone 1). Now whenever you want to
record without aftertouch, just select this setup as the control setup.
Zone-status LEDs in Setup Mode
Take a minute to scroll through some of the factory setups. As you change setups, you’ll notice
that the LEDs in the eight buttons above the programmable sliders go on and off and change
color. These LEDs indicate the status of each of the zones in the setup. You may also see the Solo
button go on. This means that the setup is configured to have only one zone playing when you
select it.
In Setup mode, each of the eight zone-status LEDs will always be in one of four states:
Off Empty zone—that is, a zone that has no program or MIDI channel associated with it.
For example, if you select a setup and only four status LEDs light up (regardless of
