Samson Carbon 49 USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller - Manual (Page 14)

14
Edit Mode is where you can access and adjust the parameters of the Carbon 49 to
suit your needs. To access Edit Mode, press the EDIT button on the top panel of
the keyboard. The button will light red, and the display will read “Set” to indicate
that you are in Edit Mode. In Edit Mode, the first 25 keys on the keyboard become
function and numerical keys, and will not transmit any note data. The last 24
keys will continue to transmit note information in Edit Mode, so you can see, in
real time, how your changes have affected the performance. The VOLUME fader,
PITCH and MODULATION wheels will also continue to function normally, but their
performance data will not be shown on the display. To exit Edit Mode, and return
to Performance Mode, press the EDIT button a second time. The button will no
longer light red once in Performance Mode.

MIDI Functions
PROG (Program Change)
When pressed, the current program number flashes on the display. To change the
program, either rotate the DATA knob, or enter the new program number using the
numerical keys (0–9). You can enter a program number ranging from 0-127. After
you enter the desired program number, press the ENTER key. The Carbon 49 will
transmit the program change, and the display will stop flashing. If the number
entered is out of range, an “-E-” (error) will display for three seconds, and then
return to the last set program number (no information will be transmitted).
CHANNEL (MIDI Channel)
When pressed, the current MIDI channel number flashes on the display. To change
the MIDI channel that the Carbon 49 is transmitting on, either rotate the DATA
knob, or enter the new program number using the numerical keys. You can enter
a number ranging from 1–16. When you reach the desired channel number, press
the ENTER key. The Carbon 49 will be set to transmit on the new channel, and
the display will stop flashing. If the number is out of range, “-E-” (error) will be
displayed for three seconds, and then return to the last set channel number.
