parameters, and 128 to 134 are special values. For example, these parameters can control
volume, pan, expression, reverb, chorus, and portamento, as long as the software and/or
hardware supports these kinds of functions.
Any of the VersaKey control elements is able to send each of the 128 MIDI messages as
needed, as long as the connected device is able to receive them. A full list of these MIDI
messages can be found at the end of this user manual.
For example, if you want to use the Modulation touch-strip to control the reverb amount,
then you need to assign control 91 to the Modulation touch-strip.
Other common examples include:

Programming the Controls
It’s possible to separately program the independent controls such as the rotary encoders,
buttons, and sliders. Normally, the most previously used control is selected for programming.
If you want to program a different control element, simply press the corresponding button or
turn the rotary knob to indicate that you want to program it.
Assignable Controls
Each VersaKey model includes a number of rotary encoders (knobs) and drum pads that
can be independently assigned a specific function.
Press the Assign button, then rotate the encoder you want to assign. The LED screen will
display the ‘control number’. Changing this number to the desired value will change the
function of the encoder. To confirm the selection, press the Enter button.
Pitch Bend & Modulation
By sliding a fingertip backwards or forwards along the Pitch Bend touch strip, the pitch of the
played note or chord will be adjusted. The range of the Pitch Bend touch-strip depends on
the selected preset.
This also applies to the Modulation touch-strip. The difference is that the Modulation touch-
strip controls the intensity of the modulation effect. The range of the Modulation touch-strip
is also dependent on the selected preset.
