1.3. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE INSTRUMENT AND DISCOVER SOME IF ITS FEATURES
1.3.1. Wheels
If we look at the front panel, we will find that from left to right it contains 3 wheels, to which
we can assign regulation of any Control Change, which will act on all the active zones
(system control).
1.3.2. Sliders and zone keys
Moving further to the right, we find one slider for the analogue volume of the internal sound
board (used for this board only) and four
ASSIGNABLE SLIDERS
, to which any MIDI
Control Change of our choice can be assigned. It is important to bear in mind that while
the control associated to each wheel acts on all the active zones (system control), the
control assigned to the Assignable Slider only acts on the zones set by the user (zone
control).
Below the Assignable Sliders, there are 8 zone keys. Each zone key has a LED indicating
its activation status; when it is
off , the zone is not active , while when it is on the zone is
active . When the LED flashes , the relative zone is in Stand-by condition, meaning that
the zone is not yet active, but is ready to be activated next time the key is pressed.
A Stand-by status is useful if the parameters assigned to a given zone are to come into
use at a certain point in the keyboard player's performance, while the overall parameters of
the patch remain unchanged.
