There are no controllers or indicators on the interface. All interface’s parameters / functions are adjustable only
via MIDI commands transmitted from a MIDI data source (DAW, sequencer, …).
After reset (during each instrument start-up), the interface’s parameters are always set to their default values
(
① ① ① ①
on fig. 2) as shows table 1.
During the interface operation, the parameters can be changed via MIDI CCs (

on fig. 2 - see chapter 3.1.2) or
via SysEx messages (

on fig. 2 - see chapter 3.3). All these changes are temporary only – they are lost when
the instrument is switched off!

2.2 KEY SHIFT PARAMETER
KEY SHIFT PARAMETER KEY SHIFT PARAMETER
KEY SHIFT PARAMETER
This parameter transposes range of the instrument’s keyboard in whole scale of MIDI notes. The parameter
value specifies exactly the number of MIDI Note which is assigned to the lowest key of the instrument’s
keyboard.
Values of the parameter can be from 0 to 67. If value 0 is set (transposition is 0), the lowest key of the keyboard
corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 0 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 60. If value 1 of the
parameter is set, (transposition is +1), the lowest key of the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 1 and the
highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 61. Etc., up to value 67 of the parameter (transposition is +67) when
the lowest key of the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 67 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note
Nr. 127. See fig. 3 for more details.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted by MIDI CC #16 (see chapter 3.1.2) or by SysEx message (see
chapter 3.3).

OMNI mode enables the instrument to receive data on all 16 MIDI channels simultaneously.
