Trigger Mode

“Triggers” LED is illuminated. Now the 16 buttons work like keyboard
notes. Each of the 16 buttons can be assigned to any MIDI note, on any
MIDI Channel (01-16), with any velocity (0-127), and can be set to be
latched or momentarily on. Latched note will hold until the button is
pressed again. Latched notes will be indicated by the LEDs. Trigger keys are
assigned from the Controllers menu. See page 76 for more information.
Preset Menu
Jump Keys
Whenever you are in the Preset Edit menu, the sixteen command buttons
function as “jump” buttons to the various screens in the Preset Edit menu.
The jump location is labelled directly below each button.
Pressing a jump button instantly takes you to the first screen in the selected
category. Pressing the button again takes you to the second screen in the
category and so on. Repeated pressing will rotate you back to the first
screen in the category.
