it because None would still be displayed. Also, if you set a MIDI Value to None by
scrolling below 0, the MIDI value will be 0 until you change the value with the assigned
controller (though None will still be displayed). If you edit the parameters of a program
and suddenly can’t produce any sound from the program, this may be the cause. In
this case, either set the Value for Expression to something other than None, or use the
Control Source that you set for Expression to increase the Value.
Value
To change the value of a parameter, use the cursor button to highlight the right column. In
the value column, use the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons to enter a MIDI value from
0-127, or a value of None by scrolling below 0. You can also use the keypad function of the
Category buttons followed by the Enter button to enter a MIDI value. If you set a MIDI
Value to None by scrolling below 0, the MIDI value will be 0 until you change the value
with an assigned controller (though None will still be displayed). A value of None can also be
selected by using the keypad to type -1, followed by the Enter button.
Important note about values of “None”
For factory programs, standard parameters like Expression (program volume), Sustain,
and Sostenuto are always set to None by default. If you change one of these values, either
on the PARAMS page in the Program Editor, or with a physical controller from Program
Mode (or the Program Editor,) the same value will be used for any other program you
select , if you select another program that uses a value of None for the same parameter.
These values remain set even if you don’t save the program .
This can be useful, for example, when using an expression pedal to control program
volume.
By default, all factory programs have their Expression parameter set to a value of None,
and Expression (program volume) by default can be controlled by an expression pedal
plugged into the CC 1 Pedal jack. With an expression pedal plugged into the CC 1 Pedal
jack, you can control the volume of any factory program, but when you select another
factory program, it will have the same volume that you set with the expression pedal in
the last program. This way, the volume of your programs will stay consistent, and can
always be changed by the expression pedal. If you want a program to have a default
volume, you must set a Value other than None for the Expression parameter.
For all parameters with a Value of None, any values set with a physical control
will not be saved when saving the program. You must set the Value column for
that parameter to something other than None in order to set and save a value .
These values will remain set until changed with a controller, or until a program is
loaded on the current MIDI channel that does not have a value of None for these
parameters .
