Basic Operations
E-MU Systems 40
Pedal (PEd)
This function sets up the Footswitch / Footpedal input to accept a switch or a
variable pedal control input.
• SuS = Sustain or footswitch input. In this mode, the Xboard automatically
senses the footswitch polarity on power up (either normally-open, or
normally-closed). Because of the automatic sensing feature, you should not
hold down the footswitch during power up or the switch action will be
reversed.
• ctL = Control Pedal. The Xboard accepts control pedals wired as shown on
page 65 .
Indicators (ind)
The decimal points in the LED indicate USB and MIDI activity. Select on or oFF.
1st = USB In; 2nd = USB Out; 3rd = MIDI Out.
Zones On/Off Status Display (Zod)
Select on or oFF.
If on, when you select a new patch, the Edit LED display shows a message
indicating whether zones enabled or disabled in the new patch. This is especially
useful for the Xboard 25 and Xboard 49, since they don’t have a Zones Enable
button.
Patch Buttons Program Change Mode Auto-Disable (PbM)
Select on or oFF.
With this setting on, the Program Change Mode button turns off automatically
after you send a program change, returning the numeric keypad to Direct Patch
Select Mode.
With this setting off, the Numeric Keypad remains in Program Change mode after
you send a program change.
Calibrate Sub-Menu (CAL)
When you select CAL and press Enter, you are taken to the CAL sub-menu, which
contains calibration functions. To select a function, use the data slider to select a
Calibration function, and press Enter. To cancel, press Home.
CCM
This feature enables you to calibrate any control on your Xboard, one at a time,
optimizing your Xboard’s action for your playing technique.
After you select the CCM function and press Enter, all LEDs on the Xboard turn off
(except the display, which says “adjust a control”). This is Calibration Standby
mode. What you do next depends on which control you want to calibrate.
