4.2. OUT CHANNELS (CFG)
This section, also known as the setup section, allows the user to define the activation
status, MIDI channel and OUTPUT PORT of each zone
The name CONFIGURE, representing the second section name, the name of the current
patch and the lights indicating the activation status of its zones all appear at the top of the
display. Immediately below is a field where the user can select the individual zone of the
patch to be set up. To do this, the user uses the cursor keys to locate on the ZONE= field
and then selects the zone desired using the INC and DEC keys or the encoder.
The activation status of the selected zone appears in the central window of the display
and can be modified using the encoder or INC and DEC once the user has located on the
STATUS option using the cursor keys. The same window also shows the MIDI port
assigned to the same zone (PORT field), which can be modified by using the cursor keys
to locate next to PORT and turning the encoder or pressing INC and DEC using the
procedure already described above. The name assigned to the MIDI port to be selected
in the TABLE section of the UTILITY operating mode also appears alongside PORT.
The last field in the central window (TX CHANNEL) specifies the MIDI channel on which
the selected zone transmits its messages. This may be modified using the same
procedure: the user locates the cursors in the TX CHANNEL field and modifies the MIDI
channel using the INC and DEC keys or by turning the encoder.
The bottom of the display contains the usual icon rectangles indicating the various
sections, with the one indicating the current section illuminated in reverse. Pressing the
function keys relating to these rectangles gives access to the corresponding sections.
When programming is complete, to save these modifications press WRITE and follow the
procedure described at point 3.8.
4.3. ZONE DEFINITION (DEF)
The ZONE DEFINITION section can be accessed from any section video page or any
EDIT mode page by pressing F2, next to the DEF icon. This section can also be
accessed from the EDIT MENU video page by using the cursor keys or encoder to select
option 2 on the display and then confirming with ENTER.
Here the user can define the range of the zone, meaning its extension over the keyboard,
creating zone layers and splits. He can also establish the zone transposition for a
maximum range of 2 octaves above or 2 octaves below the current range, and establish
whether the selected zone will transmit note messages in polyphonic or mono mode, and
whether or not the portamento messages generated by the master are to be transmitted.
