Basic Editing Concepts
Setting the Key Range of a Zone
1. Press
Key Range
.
2. Press and hold
Enter
, and strike a key. This sets the low key, since the Low parameter is
current when you press Key Range.
3. Press
>
to select the Hi parameter.
4. Press and hold
Enter
, and strike a key.
Negotiating Long Lists of Values
This is especially useful when assigning values for physical controllers, since for each controller
there are well over a hundred available values.
1. Press
Controllers
.
2. Press
>
to select the Ctrl Num parameter for Wheel 1 Up.
3. Press and hold
Enter
, and move one of the sliders.
In this case, you may want to use intuitive entry to move quickly from one end of the list to the
other, then release the
Enter
button and use a standard data entry method to scroll through the
list more precisely.
Short Cuts for Navigation
When youÕre changing the assignments for physical controllers, you can spend a lot of time
Þnding the right parameter, since the Controllers menu contains over a hundred parameters.
This is where you can use intuitive entry to its fullest.
Controllers Menu: Instant Parameter Selection
This technique works for
all
the physical controllers, including mono pressure.
1. Press and hold
Controllers
(from any performance mode).
2. Press any switch controller, move any continuous controller, or strike a key and press it as
if you were applying aftertouch. This immediately selects the Ctrl Num parameter for the
corresponding controller.
Once youÕve selected the parameter, you can press and hold
Enter
, and move any continuous
controller to set its value.
Controllers Menu: Parallel Parameter Selection
YouÕll recall that every physical controller shares a common set of basic parameters, like
Ctrl Num in the previous example. Whatever the current parameter is, you can jump directly to
the corresponding parameter for each controller by pressing the cursor buttons simultaneously.
Although you canÕt jump backward in the list, you can always press
Controllers
to return to the
top of the list.
