Preset Mode
To select a preset, press the PRESET button and the
keyboard will enter Preset Mode. The Preset indicator
will light red, and the Preset number will flash on the
display. In Preset Mode, the Graphite 49 will stop
transmitting MIDI messages.
Use the DATA +/– buttons or numerical keys to select
the desired Preset. The name of the Preset will
appear in the first row of the display. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice, and
the keyboard will load the new Preset settings for all sliders, knobs and buttons. Pressing
the MAIN button will cancel the selection and return to the previous Preset. There are 3
categories of presets:
GRAPHITE Preset
Preset 1 is configured for the sliders to control channel volumes, and the encoders
to control the pan for channels in Zone 1. Using this preset will get you started
working with almost any standalone USB/MIDI device or audio software.
You can edit the Preset for each component in Setup Mode, and save your
changes. The settings for sliders S1–S9 and encoders E1–E8 can be organized
into two banks, which can be accessed by pressing the BANK
◀ or ▶ buttons.
The active MIDI channels for all encoders and sliders can be shifted up or down by
pressing the CHANNEL
◀ or CHANNEL ▶ buttons.
Remote Control Presets
Presets 2–10 are designed for specific software titles, with the controls set
to access the most common functions directly from the Graphite 49. The
communication between the computer and the keyboard is bidirectional, and
information from the software will appear on the Graphite’s display. You can
edit the Presets in Setup Mode and save your changes to further customize the
parameters to suit your needs.
Sliders S1–S8 are used for channel volume controls; S9 is used for master volume
control. Encoders E1–E8 are used for channel pan control. F1–F8 are used for
channel Solo;
F9–F16 are used for channel Mute for all software (except Logic where F1–F8
are used for REC Arm, and F9–F16 are used for channel Mute). The BANK and
CHANNEL buttons are used to change the channels controlled within the software.
The remote control message is sent through output Port 5 to the computer, and
the message from the computer is received through input Port B of the keyboard.
Note: When you move slider on the computer, its data will be sent to the keyboard
in real time, and it will be shown on the display, but it cannot affect the physical
position of the slider in the keyboard. When you move the slider on the keyboard,
the message will not be transmitted until it reaches the value and position of the
slider in the software. This eliminates any unexpected level jumps when the faders
are moved.
USER Presets
Presets 11–30 are USER presets that can be fully customized to create your
layout. The default settings for each USER preset is the same as in Preset 1.
The USER Preset also includes information about the contents of settings, for
all zones, and activity status. Zone edit results are saved to the current activated
Preset automatically.
