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 Panel Switch Assign on the Controllers
Setup or Setup 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 161. For a complete
list of the possible assignments, see “SW1/2
Assignments” on page 597 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 Controls Slider 5–8
When the Control Surface CONTROL ASSIGN is set
to REALTIME CONTROL, the four sliders on the
right function as Realtime Sliders 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 sliders will do. You can also make
settings for Sampling mode as a whole.
When using the sliders for AMS or Dmod, it’s
important to understand that assignment is a two-step
process. First, you assign the slider to send a MIDI
controller, such as Slider 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
Controllers Setup or Setup page. (See “Setting the
functions of SW1 and SW2,” above)
The default assignments for Sliders 5–8 are Slider
Mod.5 (CC#17), Slider Mod.6 (CC#19), Slider Mod.7
(CC#20), and Slider Mod.8 (CC#21), respectively. For a
complete list of the possible assignments, see
“Realtime Control Slider 5–8 Assignments” on
page 598 of the Parameter Guide.
Here’s an example of how to set up Slider 5 (User 1) to
control a Program’s filter and amp EG attack time:
1. Press the MODE PROG switch to enter Program
mode.
2. Access the P1: Basic/DT/Ctrls– Controllers Setup
page.
Press the PAGE SELECT switch to access Page Select,
and choose “P1 Basic/DT/Ctrls.”
3. Press the Realtime Control Slider Assign “Slider
5” popup button, and choose F/A Attack (CC#73).
4. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN REALTIME
CONTROL switch. (the LED will light)
5. Operate slider 5 (USER 1) to control the EG attack
for the filter and amp.
Note: If you wish to keep these settings after the power
is turned off, you must save the Program,
Combination, or Song (see page 140). Note that the
settings for Sampling mode cannot be saved.
