Transposing the Keyboard
The keyboard can be transposed up and down ±4 octaves
by pressing the
Octave Transpose
buttons. The octave
number appears momentarily in the display. The LED on
the transpose button remains lit to remind you that the
keyboard is transposed. The transposition value is stored
with the patch.
Octave Transpose works differently depending on your zones settings:
• With Zones disabled, the keyboard is simply transposed by octaves.
• With Zones enabled and
Octave Transpose Mode
set to
Pre Zone
(
page 56
),
the keyboard is transposed, but each Zone’s tuning stays the same.
• With Zones enabled and
Octave Transpose Mode
set to
Post Zone
(
page 56
),
any Zone that has
Post Zone Octave Transpose
enabled (
page 59
) is trans-
posed, while the keyboard’s tuning stays the same.
Changing Controller CC Channel Numbers
You can change MIDI continuous controller numbers (0-127) for each knob,
pedal, or the Mod Wheel on the Xboard. The Xboard CC numbers must match the
CC numbers on your synthesizer in order to operate.
To Change Controller CC Channel Numbers:
1. Press the
Edit
button.
2. Move the controller you want to change. This can be any of the 16 controller
knobs, a pedal, or the Mod Wheel. The
Enter
button blinks and the display
shows you the controller’s current CC Channel number.
3. Select the desired CC Channel number using the
Data
Slider
or the
Octave
Tra
and
-
buttons. On the Xboard 61, you can also use the
Direct
Patch
Select
buttons 1 through 16.
4. Press
Enter
to confirm the operation. Or, press
Home
to cancel the operation.
16 Channel Control Mode
16 Channel Control mode is a special performance mode in which all 16 knobs
send one CC number on MIDI channels 1 through 16. This allows you to control a
single parameter on all 16 MIDI channels. For example, if the controller number
were set to #7 (Channel Volume), the knobs could be used to mix the volumes of
all 16 MIDI channels.
