The Sliders section is where you define the behavior of the 4 horizontal sliders, they can be set to any of 

7 modes:

• 

CC - This mode sends out a user selectable CC number on either the Lower or Upper Zone 

channel�

• 

Global Pitch Bend - Global Pitch Bend can be assigned to send on either the Lower or Upper Zone 

Channel� Note that when MPE is On, it is distinct from the Key Pitch Bend, which is sent on whatever 

Zone Member Channel a specific key occupies.

• 

 4 Octave Select - Adjusts the notes of the assigned zone up or down by octave within a four octave 

range, this is the most useful range for general use (MIDI note notes 24–107)�

• 

7 Octave Select - Adjusts the notes of the assigned zone up or down by octave within a seven 

octave range (MIDI notes 0–119)�

• 

Key Pitch Bend Range - This modifies the Key Pitch Bend Range (most commonly assigned to the 

X-Axis, but also potentially the Y or Z Axes)�  It does not affect the range of the Global Pitch Bend� 

Assignable to the Upper or Lower Zone.

• 

Preset Select - Selects from one of the four user presets�  Note that if you switch to a preset in which 

this slider is assigned to a different mode, the functionality of the slider will change to the new 

assignment under your finger.

• 

Transpose - Shifts the notes of the keyboard up by 0-12 semitones� Assignable to the upper or 

lower zone (available in firmware version 1.1).

• 

Off - This slider will have no functionality� 

By default the sliders are assigned to the Lower Zone and set to the following modes:

• 

Slider 1 - Global Pitch Bend

• 

Slider 2 - Octave 4 

• 

Slider 3 - Key Pitch Bend Range

• 

Slider 4 - CC (CC number: 1)
