Octave Function (pitch up/down)
Using the Octave function, the range of the keyboard can be shifted up or down by an entire
octave. This is so that, even when playing a keyboard with few keys, chords and melodies
can be played in a higher or lower octave.
Press the Octave button and then turn the transport section rotary knob to adjust the octave
value. The Octave value indicates an entire octave shift from min. -4 to max. +5. Press the
transport section rotary knob (the Enter button) to confirm the selection.
Transpose / X-Pose
Function
It’s also possible to change the pitch of the keyboard by a semitone rather than a whole
octave. This works in much the same way as the Octave function. By pressing the
Transpose button, the transport section rotary knob can be used to set the value between
min. -12 semitones and max. +12 semitones.
Channel Function
With the Channel function, it’s possible to set up the VersaKey to send and/or receive via a
different MIDI channel. If you are using multiple MIDI devices, each with their own function,
then it’s necessary to set each of them up to send a MIDI signal via a different channel, so
that they cannot interfere with one another.
There are 16 channels to choose from. Channel 1 is the default channel. Changing the
channel is done in much the same way as the previously explained functions. Press the
Channel button and then use the transport section rotary knob to set the value between 1
and 16. Press Enter (press the rotary knob) to confirm the channel selection.
Program (MIDI Voice per Channel)
It’s possible to link a specific MIDI voice to the selected MIDI channel. Press the Program
button and the display screen will show the current voice-number. By turning the transport
section rotary knob, a voice-number between 00 and 127 can be selected. Confirm the
selection by pressing the Enter button (by pressing the rotary knob).
Program Bank (L/M)
Press the Edit key to activate multifunctional mode. Press the Bank L/M button to adjust the
voice bank of the current channel. This can be adjusted between values 00 and 127. The
default selection is 00. When reset, the current voice number is saved and shown on the
display.
MIDI Control Message
There are up to 135 different MIDI control messages used for the MIDI adjustable
parameters of software or hardware that supports MIDI. 0 to 127 are the standard MIDI
