Basic Operations
Xboard 31
Bypass Mode
When you move a controller knob on the Xboard, the position value is immedi-
ately transmitted via MIDI. Knob Bypass disables the transmission of MIDI
messages from the knobs or control pedal/footswitch.
Bypass mode allows you to pre-set the knobs to a known position in order to
avoid abrupt parameter jumps in performance when you turn the knob.
When Bypass is On, you can set the knobs anywhere you like without sending
MIDI controller messages. When you turn Bypass Off again, nothing is trans-
mitted, but the knobs are now in the desired position for your performance. When
you turn a knob, the value of the new position will be sent.
This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Snap Shot feature. In Bypass
mode, moving the controller knobs temporarily changes the stored settings.
Pressing Snap Shot in Bypass mode transmits the stored settings with any changes
you made while in Bypass mode.
Note: Snap Shot cannot transmit values for controls that are set to NRPN mode.
Editing Patch and Device Settings
Many editable settings are accessed using the labelled keyboard keys or other
controls.
To Edit a Setting:
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit LED illuminates.
2. Select the desired setting by pressing one of the marked keyboard keys. (The
Velocity Curve is being edited in the example below.)
3. Adjust the value of the parameter using the Data Slider, the Numeric
Keyboard Keys, the Octave Transpose buttons, or the Numeric Keypad
(Xboard 61 only). The Enter button will be flashing.
4. Press Enter to confirm the operation. Press Home to cancel the operation.
5. Remember to Store the Patch or your changes will be lost the next time you
recall a stored patch, or when the Xboard is turned off. See
page 26.
