Basic Operations
Real-time Controller Knobs
Knob Functions
Quick Edit mode
The Real-time controller knobs provide direct control of the XK-6’s synthe-
sizer parameters when the Controller Function Select is set to Quick Edit.
There is an LED next to each of the control knobs which illuminates to
indicate that the knob setting has been changed from the value
programmed in the preset (“Knobs Preset Quick Edit” mode must be
enabled in the Controllers menu). If the knob position is returned to the
original setting, the LED is extinguished.

Quick Edit knob
movements can be recorded into
an external sequencer.
Initial controller values can be stored in every preset. When you move a
knob with Quick-Edit enabled, the Initial Controller Value is updated with
the knob’s new value. The knob’s LED lights indicating that the preset value
has been changed. The MIDI A-P values are stored in the corresponding
Initial Controller Amount
parameter in the Preset Edit menu (see “Initial
Controller Amount” on page 167). The Save/Copy button LED flashes to
remind you that the preset has been edited. “Quick-Edits” made to a preset
are lost if you select another preset before saving them.
The four rows of knobs always control the preset on the basic MIDI channel
(the channel showing on the preset select screen), when the control switch
is set to Quick Edit.
The labels (Filter Cutoff, Filter Q, Filter Attack, Filter Decay, etc.) printed on
these rows show how the factory ROM presets are programmed to respond.
(The controls may not exactly conform to the front panel labels depending on the
preset.)
You can change the way a preset responds to MIDI A-P messages
from the Preset Edit menu (PatchCords). The knobs only generate a
message when you move a knob to a new value. The current value jumps to
the new value.

1.

Quick Edit
mode using the Controller Function Select button.
