1) To assign sources to destinations,
a) press the red push button twice to enter set-up mode
b) select a source by using one of the keys A to Eb (see table on previous page)
c) [optionally if the source is Controller X or Y, you can assign a controller to it now
– see below]
d) select destinations OFF to de-select previous assignments for this source
e) select destinations ON to make new assignments for this source
f) either hit Top C to enter/exit, or select a new source and make assignments for that [go back to b]
2) Controllers X & Y can be assigned to any continuous controller (cc). By default controller X is assigned to cc#16,
and controller Y is assigned to cc#17. To re-assign either of them, first press the red push button twice to enter
SET-UP mode. Next press the Db or D key (see table on previous page) to select the X or Y controller source,
then send a MIDI message of the required continuous controller. Then either press top C to enter / exit, or use
some of the destination keys to assign what this controller will control.
– For example to set controller Y to respond to cc#4, press the red button twice, press D, send a cc#4 message to
the Memorymoog from another synth or MIDI controller, then press top C to enter /exit. [or select another function]
3) Sources can have multiple destinations, so for example controller X could be assigned to control both Foot
controller #1 and Foot controller #2 at the same time, should you want it to.
4) Where pitch-bend wheel is the source, only the bend wheel UP will affect destinations other than pitch-bend.
Also where pitch-bend is the destination, sources other than pitch-bend wheel will only bend the pitch UP.
5) Receive channel & Transmit channel setting will return you directly to playing mode, all other keys will let you
stay in SET-UP mode until you press the ENTER key (Top C).
6) The ENTER key (Top C) also performs a “reset all controllers” function - OFF in most cases, but ON for volume,
and centre for pitch bender.
7) If you want to put the MIDI back to the default settings at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding the red
push button pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
8) During set-up mode, the retrofit will receive on ALL MIDI channels.
