Evolution Advanced Guide
About The Advanced Guide
In the MK-425C/449C/461C Advanced Guide we have made the assumption that you have been through the Getting Started Guide which should have
been supplied in printed form with your keyboard. If you do not have this guide, please contact your local distributor or download it from our website
www.evolution.co.uk
The Getting Started Guide should insure that you are now familiar with the basic operation of the keyboard so that we now can focus on more in-depth
features.
First however, we need to explain some terminology we use throughout the guide.
Terminology
Edit Mode:
Edit Mode describes the short period after a function button has been pressed during which the parameters of that function can be
altered. The numeric keypad can be used to alter a parameter during this time. No data is sent out of the Evolution MK-425C/449C/
461C when it is in Edit mode except for program and bank changes. LCD symbols shown in Edit mode will flash to show you that a
particular parameter can be edited. If a number is part entered, and a new controller turned, that number will become the relevant
parameter number for the new controller and the 3 second editing period will re-trigger.
Default mode :
Default Mode describes the state of the keyboard, when no function buttons have been pressed within the last 3 seconds. In Default mode, the LCD will
show the controller symbol, and the 2 digit display will show the last selected controller. The 3 digits display the currently assigned MIDI CC number.
Programming & Editing The MK-425C/449C/461C
Introduction To Programming Options
Each of the MK-425C/449C/461C’s controllers can send MIDI cc, RPN/NRPN, GM 1&2 SysEx messages and even be assigned to individual MIDI
channels.
MIDI cc (continuous controller) numbers are part of the standard MIDI specifications and are typically used to control the real-time changing of
parameters in musical equipment. For a complete list of standard MIDI controller numbers from 0 to 131, please see Appendix E on page 16.
Any of the real-time controllers on the keyboard can be assigned to a MIDI cc number however the 10 assignable buttons have slightly different options
from the 9 Faders (MK-449C/461C only) or rotary controllers.
The following 2 charts show all the transmit messages you can program for each of the fader/controllers and assignable MIDI buttons respectively. We
show you this already at this stage, so you can follow the principle of programming the controllers in the following instructions and examples.
Please pay extra attention to the differences between how you program the faders or controllers and how you program the buttons.
