button again will display “Rem”. This substitutes the incoming MIDI velocity when the button is activated
via a MIDI “note on” message. When pressed locally, “Rem” will act like the “Fdr” setting and velocity will
be determined by fader position.

MIDI STRINGS

2. Use the left and right direction buttons to select a byte to be edited. When the cursor is on a digit, the up/
down direction buttons, data wheel and/or associated fader will edit the digit. Pressing the up button when
between bytes insets a byte and pressing the down button between bytes deletes a byte.

STRING PRS/RLS
