Assigning An Individual MIDI Channel
1. Select the controller you want to edit as described earlier.
2. Press “CHANNEL ASSIGN”.
The LCD will display the CHAN symbol and the 3-digit display will show the current channel assignment of the selected controller, preceded
by a ’c’. The small 2-digit display will show the currently selected controller for assignment.
3. Type the MIDI channel number (01-16) you want the controller to send to, using the numeric keypad or the +/- keys.
If the controller is assigned to channel 00, it will transmit on the global channel.
Setting Toggle Values For The Buttons
The 10 assignable buttons can each be assigned to toggle between two values. You may for instance want to send out value 15 when you first press
the button followed value 74 when you press the button for a second time. This is how you do it:
1. Press the Function button labelled “DATA MSB” 2 times.
2. Type in 15 using the numerical keypad or the +/- keys.
3. Press the Function button labelled “DATA LSB” 2 times.
4. Type in 74 using the numerical keypad or the +/- keys.
If you want the button to send the same value every time you press it, simply type in the same value both times.
RPN/NRPN, GM 1+2 SysEx & Other Messages
As already described, the standard MIDI controller numbers range from 0 to 131. We have extended the list of MIDI cc’s that can be assigned to the
controllers of the keyboard to include RPN/NRPN, MMC and General MIDI 1&2 SysEx messages.
These advanced messages are as easy to program as a regular MIDI cc instruction by entering values 132 to 152 when programming MIDI cc’s. The charts
on page 6 (or Appendix B) show you what number correspond to each message.
To program the values required for these advanced messages, the MK-425C/449C/461C requires you to press the PROGRAM, DATA LSB and DATA
MSB buttons twice respectively. Pressing only once will send the program and bank change instructions “on the fly” as described in the Getting Started
guide.
Lets look at a couple of examples to see how this works. Please refer to the charts on pages 3 & 4 so you get to grips with the principle:
Assigning MMC Control To A Button
1. Select the button you want to control the MMC message.
2. Press “CONTROL ASSIGN” on the MK-425C/449C/461C.
3. Type in “149” using the numerical keypad.
This is the number that corresponds to the MMC instruction, as per the charts on pages 3 and 4.
4. Press “CHANNEL” once.
5. Type in “127”, using the numerical keypad.
This ensures that the message is set to all device ID numbers. For more information about this, please read “About SysEx Messages & Device
ID” on page 6.
6. Press the “DATA LSB” button twice.
7. Enter a number from the chart on the next page to select the MMC message you want:
