Assigning functions to SW1/2 and the REALTIME KNOBS
Setting the functions of SW1 and SW2
SW1 and SW2 are the two switches above the joystick
and ribbon. These on/off switches can perform a
number of different functions, such as modulating
sounds or effects, or locking the modulation values of
the joystick, ribbon, or aftertouch.
Also, each one may work either as a toggle, or as a
momentary switch. In Toggle mode, each press
alternates between on and off; in Momentary mode,
the switch only changes for as long as you hold it
down.
Each Program, Combination, and Song stores its own
settings for what the switches will do, and whether
each switch is on or off (based on their current states
when the data is saved). You can also make settings for
Sampling mode as a whole.
You can set up SW1/2 on the Set Up Controllers page.
An example of settings in a Program
When using SW1/2 for AMS or Dmod, the default
settings are SW1 Mod.:CC#80 and SW2 Mod.:CC#81.
For an example, see“Using Dmod to change the
feedback level via SW1” on page 191. For a complete
list of the possible assignments, see “SW1/2
Assignments” on page 979 of the Parameter Guide.
Note: If you wish to keep these settings after the power
is turned off, you must save the Program,
Combination, or Song. Note that the settings for
Sampling mode cannot be saved.
Setting the functions of REALTIME KNOBS
5–8
When the Control Surface CONTROL ASSIGN is set
to R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA, the four knobs on the
right function as Realtime Knobs 5-8 (User 1-4). These
can perform a number of different functions, such as
modulating sounds or effects, adjusting effects send
levels, and so on.
Each Program, Combination, and Song stores its own
settings for what the knobs will do. You can also make
settings for Sampling mode as a whole.
When using the knobs for AMS or Dmod, it’s
important to understand that assignment is a two-step
process. First, you assign the knob to send a MIDI
controller, such as Knob Mod.1 (CC#17). Second, you
assign that MIDI controller to modulate one or more
Program or effects parameters.
For the first part of the above, use the mode’s Set Up
Controllers page. (See “Setting the functions of SW1
and SW2,” above.)
The default assignments for knobs 5-8 are Knob Mod.1
(CC#17), Knob Mod.2 (CC#19), Knob Mod.3 (CC#20),
and Knob Mod.4 (CC#21), respectively. For a complete
list of the possible assignments, see “Realtime Knobs
5–8 Assignments” on page 980 of the Parameter Guide.
Here’s an example of how to set up knob 5 (User 1) to
control a Program’s filter and amp EG attack time:
1. Press the PROG switch to enter Program mode.
2. Press the Basic/Vector tab, and then the
Controllers tab above it, to go to the P1:
Basic/Vector– Set Up Controllers page.
3. Press the Modulation Knob Assign “Knob 5”
popup button, and choose F/A Attack.
4. Press the front-panel R.TIME KNOBS/KARMA
button (under CONTROL ASSIGN).
5. Turn knob 5 (USER 1) to control the filter and amp
EG attack.
Note: If you wish to keep these settings after the power
is turned off, you must save the Program,
Combination, or Song. Note that the settings for
Sampling mode cannot be saved.
Adjusting the brightness, contrast, and color of the LCD
These settings are made using the Global P0 page
menu command “LCD Setup.”
1. Press the GLOBAL switch to enter Global mode.
2. Press the Basic tab in the lower line, and then the
Basic tab located above it. The P0: Basic Setup–Set
Up Controllers page will appear.
