Latch Mode, Zones Enabled
If you have Zones enabled, the Latch Low Note and High Note settings are
ignored. Instead, Latch Mode is handled on a per-zone basis. Use the Xboard
Control software to turn latch mode on or off for each Zone. See
Note Latch
Mode Enable” on page 59.
For zones with Latch Mode enabled, turning on Latch mode using the Latch
button on your Xboard turns on latch for those zones.
Turning Latch Mode off manually with the Latch button switches off all latched
notes, regardless of their channel or the sequence in which they were latched.
Latched notes are NOT switched off upon loading a new patch in which Latch
Mode is OFF. To turn these notes off, either return to the original MIDI channel
and play the same notes again, or manually switch Latch Mode ON and then OFF.
Snap Shot
The Xboard can store the settings of the 16 knobs and footpedal/footswitch with
the Patch. When the Snap Shot button is pressed, the currently stored settings of all
performance controls (knobs, wheels, footpedal) are transmitted. The initial
setting of the footswitch is not transmitted.
Note: Snap Shot cannot transmit values for controls that are set to NRPN mode.
Here’s an example of how you might use this feature. The knob settings can be
stored with the Patch, and can either be transmitted when the Patch is selected or
not. For the purpose of this example, suppose the knob settings are NOT transmitted
when the Patch is selected. At a certain point in your song, you could press Snap
Shot and completely change the sound by sending the stored controller messages.
This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Knob Bypass control to set
up, and then send a group of MIDI continuous controllers messages at once. See
the description of Bypass Mode
