5.1.4
Global Transpose
Apart from methods just described, which are mostly used during initial setup,
there's different kind of transposing, more suitable for live playing. Global transpose
affects ALL keyboards in the system with the same number of semitones shift from
default position. This one is not memorized in nonvolatile memory. After power
cycle, all keyboards return to initial state. To access this way of transposing you can
assign special functions to any POT inputs. Available are +/-1 semitone and octave
steps. The event numbers for this feature are:
- one semitone up: 156
- one semitone down: 157
- one octave up: 158
- one octave down: 159
Go to chapter 5.2. for details on how to assign events to inputs.

MIDI event assignment for keyboards and analog
inputs
MIDI event assigned to given potentiometer or keyboard split can be easily
changed. To perform this, turn the knob, or play a key on the split you want to
assign, and then select the controller type by entering keys # then 2 and then
appropriate number from the list that follows. You need to enter 2 or 3 digits for
each input controller depending on entered number. To assign another one, again
you must turn the pot it a bit, or play the key on another split, and then start from
"#2" sequence followed by event type number.
Possible MIDI event codes are from 000 to 161.
Standard setting for a keyboard is "# 2 131" - single notes, and for
analog input it's Continuous Controller: "# 2 nnn"
- where "nnn" is number
from 001 up. This is factory default.
If a keyboard is assigned to note on/off event (131 or 161 only), starting note by
default is MIDI number 36, the same as most MIDI keyboards use. Any other event
sends MIDI values starting from 0 at lowest contact. If, for example keyboard is
assigned to After Touch event, the lowest contact will send MIDI After Touch with
value 0, next - value 1 and so on. The starting point can be adjusted with
transposition setting (chapter 5.1), so the first contact can actually take any
possible value.
5.2.1
Control Change - #2 CC
Any MIDI Control Change number, where "CC" is number in range from "000" up to
"127".
5.2.2
Pitch Bend - #2128
The pot will work then like typical pitch bender. If assigned to a keyboard, each key
will set pitch bender in 1/128 steps across the keyboard. Range can be adjusted
with transposition settings.
