Settings
Keyboard
•
Local:
Enables / disables the internal keyboard’s connection with the internal sound
engine. If you are using COBALT8X with an external sequencer you may need to set the
Local setting to ‘Off’ to eliminate the double-triggering of notes caused by MIDI loops /
echoes.
•
Velocity Curve:
Sets the velocity curve / sensitivity for notes from the internal keyboard.
There are six curve options - Very Light, Light, Normal, Heavy, Very Heavy, Fixed. Select
‘Light’ or ‘Very Light’ if you play keys lightly but would like the device to respond as
though they were played harder; select ‘Heavy’ or ‘Very Heavy’ if you play keys heavily
but would like the device to respond as though they were played lighter; or select ‘Fixed’
to have a constant velocity value of 127 (maximum velocity).
•
Aftertouch Curve:
Sets the aftertouch curve / sensitivity for the internal keyboard. There
are five curve options - Very Light, Light, Normal, Heavy, Very Heavy. Select ‘Light’ or
‘Very Light’ if you want more control over the upper range of values of the aftertouch
response; or select ‘Heavy’ or ‘Very Heavy’ if you want more control over the lower range
of values of the aftertouch response.
Sequencer
•
Metronome:
Enables / disables the metronome click track for sequence recording. Please
note that the sequencer pre-roll (if enabled) will always contain the metronome.
•
Pre-Roll:
Sets the sequence recording pre-roll length to determine how many bars of the
metronome click track you hear before the recording starts.
Note: Metronome and Pre-Roll are only available for realtime sequences
•
Quantise:
Sets the sequencer note recording input quantise value to ensure that played
notes can be kept in time. Please note that this is an input quantise setting and therefore
cannot be used to adjust previously recorded notes.
•
Transport:
Enables / disables the sequencer transport to be controlled by MIDI Clock
Start / Continue / Stop messages from USB-MIDI. You may want to disable this behaviour
if using COBALT8X with an external MIDI sequencer.
Settings
Joystick
•
Mod Wheel Out:
Enables / disables the joystick Y+ axis from transmitting MIDI
Modulation Wheel messages (MIDI CC 1) to MIDI-out. You may want to disable this
behaviour if the COBALT8X is connected to other synthesisers that responds to MIDI
Modulation Wheel messages.
•
Pitch Bend Out:
Enables / disables the joystick X axes from transmitting MIDI Pitch
Bend messages to MIDI-out. You may want to disable this behaviour if the COBALT8X
is connected to other synthesisers that responds to MIDI Pitch Bend messages. Please
note that if this is disabled the joystick X axes will instead transmit CC messages for
MODALapp communication.
•
X+ / X- / Y+ / Y- Calibration:
These are manual calibration settings for adjusting the
usable travel range of each axis of the joystick.
Increase this value if the joystick axis is not reaching the top modulation / MIDI value
(especially in the corner positions), however if too large the usable travel range will be
massively reduced. Decrease this value if the joystick axis has a small usable travel range,
however if too small the joystick may not reach the top modulation / MIDI value.
•
Centre Calibration:
This is a manual calibration setting for adjusting the centring of the
joystick.
Increase this value if the joystick is not properly returning to the ‘centre’ value (it sends
sporadic values when untouched or is too sensitive in its resting position), however if too
large the usable travel range of each axis will be reduced.
Decrease this value if the joystick doesn’t respond to small movements around the centre
position, however if too small the joystick may not centre properly.
