10. MIDI Channel Select
This button selects the Basic MIDI channel for the keyboard and all controls.
To Select a MIDI Channel: Press the MIDI Channel button, then select the
channel using the data slider, the Octave Transpose + and - buttons, or the
Direct Patch Select buttons (Xboard 61 only), and press Enter.
11. 16 Channel Control Mode
In this mode, one MIDI Continuous Controller number is assigned to all 16
knobs and each numbered knob transmits on the same-numbered MIDI
channel. This gives you control of one parameter (such as volume or pan) for
all 16 MIDI channels. See
for detailed information.
12. Latch Mode
In this mode, pressed keys continue to play until they are pressed again to
turn them off. This allows notes to be sustained for any length of time
without having to hold down the keys. A range of latch keys can be defined
using the “Latch High Note” and “Latch Low Note” edit parameters. See
13. Knob Bypass
Knob Bypass disables the transmission of MIDI messages from the knobs or
control pedal/footswitch to avoid abrupt parameter jumps in performance.
When Bypass is On, you can pre-set the knobs anywhere you like without
sending MIDI controller messages. When you turn Bypass Off again, nothing
is transmitted, but the knobs are now in the desired position for your perfor-
mance. When you turn a knob, the value of the new knob position will be
sent.
This feature can also be used to set up any of the knobs the way you want,
then send the values later using the Snapshot feature. See
.
14. Snapshot
When this button is pressed, the stored current settings of all performance
controls (knobs, wheels, footswitch/pedal) are transmitted. This feature can
also be used in conjunction with the Knob Bypass control to setup, and then
send a group of MIDI continuous controllers messages at once.
The Snapshot function is accessible only while in Play mode (i.e., whenever
the Home LED is lit).
