To send a specific Program Change number: 
•  Enter EDIT mode (see beginning of Chapter 4).
•  Press the key (PROG), both OCT buttons will start flashing.
•  Enter the Program Change number using the keys marked from 0 to 9. Valid numbers are from 1 to 128, so 

you can enter up to three digits consecutively when needed.

•  Press the key (ENTER/YES) to confirm your input. Both PROG buttons will flash to show the setting has 

been accepted, and iRig Keys 2 will automatically exit EDIT mode.

4.7 Send “All Notes Off” MIDI message

Sometimes it may be necessary to stop all notes playing on the current MIDI channel when they are stuck or 

when controllers are not resetting properly.
iRig Keys 2 can send MIDI CC# 121 + 123 to reset all controllers and stop all notes.
To reset all controllers and set all notes off: 
•  Enter EDIT mode (see beginning of Chapter 4).
•  Press the key (ALL NOTES OFF).
Both PROG buttons will flash to show the reset has been sent, and iRig Keys 2 will automatically exit EDIT 

mode.

4.8 Transpose the keyboard in semitones

The iRig Keys 2 keyboard can be transposed in semitones. This can be useful when, for example, you need to 

play a song that is in a difficult key, but you still want to physically play it in an easier or more familiar key.
To transpose iRig Keys 2: 
•  Enter EDIT mode (see beginning of Chapter 4).
•  Press the key (TRANSP), both OCT buttons will start flashing.
•  Press any note on the keyboard: from this moment on, when you press a C key, iRig Keys 2 will actually 

send the MIDI note you pressed at this step.

•  Both PROG buttons will flash to show the semitone transpose has been set, and iRig Keys 2 will 

automatically exit EDIT mode.
