This allows you to select the Bank of Patches to dump. It will initially display the Bank of the
currently-selected Patch. If this is not the one you want, select another.
RE3: Patch Select
Displayed as:
Patch
Default value:
(currently selected)
Range of adjustment:
1 to 127
This will display the number of the currently-selected Patch. If this is not one of the
Patch(es) you want to dump, you can select another.
RE4:
Not used.
RE5: The encoder is not used.
Display shows:
Current
Press the button below
RE5
if you want to dump only the current Patch. This will include
any parameter changes which have been made, but not saved.
RE6: The encoder is not used.
Display shows:

Global Menu Page 6 – Calibration
The UltraNova’s controllers should all operate correctly out of the box, however on occa-
sion it may be necessary to calibrate them to ensure they operate as intended. In particular,
this procedure is recommended following an OS update. The controllers that can be cali-
brated are: the pitch wheel (
PITCH
), the Mod wheel (
MOD
) and Aftertouch. To calibrate a
controller you need to move it to its extremes, e.g., turn the Pitch wheel downwards as far
as it can go (you will notice that the B
endWhl
value on the display will show zero). Then
rotate the Pitch wheel to its opposite extent (the
BendWhl
value will show 255). With
the Pitch wheel in its central position, it should return a
BendWhl
value of approximately
128. The Pitch wheel is now calibrated, and the procedure for calibrating the Mod wheel is
identical (use the
ModWhl
parameter).
To calibrate Aftertouch, lightly press a key, and observe the
Aftouch
parameter value of
zero; then press the key hard, and observe the value of 127. Aftertouch is now calibrated.
Correctly calibrated controllers should return the following values:
Pitch –
Min. (0); Centre (128); Max. (255)
Mod –
Min. (0); Max. (127)
Aftertouch –
Min. (0); Max. (127)
After performing the above procedure, press
WRITE
[23] to store the revised calibration.
RE1-5:
Not used, but note that the Aftertouch value (see below) is displayed below
RE5
.
RE6: SetAftouch
SetAftouch
sets Aftertouch sensitivity. With a value set to 127 you will ind that only a very
slight difference in key pressure is required to return a control value of zero and one of 127,
displayed as the
Aftouch
value. With lower values of
SetAftouch
, the pressure difference
is more marked. In general, keeping
SetAftouch
set to a mid-range value will give the best
results.
RE7-8:
Not used.
Global Menu Page 7 – OS Transmit
If you want to make a backup copy of the UltraNova’s operating system, it is possible to
perform a SysEx dump of the data to your computer from this page.
To transmit the OS, press the lashing button under
RE3
