CONFIGURING BUTTON OPERATIONAL MODES – available at all times during use
Press and hold knob #9 then press knob #8 – then release both. To show that this mode has
been entered, ALL the encoder LEDs will light up. The channel LEDs will show the channel
being edited and the button LEDs will indicate the current mode for each button as follows:
ON
= on only mode (127 sent when button is pressed)
OFF = on/off mode (127 sent when pressed, 0 sent when released)
FLASHING = toggle mode (127 and 0 sent on alternate presses)
To change the mode for any button, press it to step to the next mode. To exit this mode press
any one of the knobs, and release. You will be returned to the program / channel you were on
before the mode was selected. On exiting this mode, any button which has changed will be left
in one of the following states. For on-only mode ON, for the other modes OFF. Note however
that this is a global operation (applies to that button on all MIDI channels), so if a button mode
has been changed, the button LED might not show the intended condition until used and re-
saved.
CONFIGURING EXTRA OPERATIONAL MODES
The Killamix Mini has several extra modes of operation which have been added in response to
customer requests. These have to be selected or deselected at boot-up.
You need to unplug the USB cable from the Killamix Mini to start this operation, then wait
around five seconds. Now plug the USB cable back in whilst holding push buttons 6 & 8
pressed down. Allow a couple of seconds for the USB interface to initialise then release the
buttons. Push button 9 will light up to indicate that the mode has been successfully entered,
plus any of buttons 1 to 8 depending on what extra modes are currently active. The push
button LED shows ON if the mode is active – plus one of the LEDs of the associated ledring.
To select or deselect, press the appropriate push button. Default is OFF in all cases.
Button 1 – Encoder mode – absolute or incremental
Off = send encoder absolute values (default)
On = send encoder incremental messages instead of absolute values.
Two modes are available which are indicated by ledring #1.
1 = Doepfer mode
2 = Ableton signed 7 bit mode
Doepfer mode description:
Increment message is always CC#96 where the data value is the CC to be incremented
Decrement message is always CC#97 where the data value is the CC to be decremented
Example 1: 0xB0, 96, 07 would increment controller 7 on MIDI channel 1
Example 2: 0xB4, 97, 16 would decrement controller 16 on MIDI channel 5
This mode can only ever increment or decrement by one, due to the way it works.
Ableton signed 7 bit mode description:
Message is the normal CC (1 to 9) where data values of 1 to 63 signify increment and data
values of 65 to 127 signify decrement. A data value of 1 will increment by 1 and a data value of
63 will increment by 63 – similarly a data value of 65 will decrement by 1 and a data value of
127 will decrement by 63.
Button 2 – Joystick mode
Off = standard X/Y joystick (default)
