E-MU XBOARD CONTROL
The E-MU Xboard Control software allows you to easily edit and then archive
Xboard patches on your PC or Mac. All the features of the Xboard are logically
displayed on a single page, which makes patch editing a breeze.
Xboard Control makes it easy to mix and match your favorite Xboard patches, then
save or archive them on your host computer.
In addition, the Xboard Control allows you to program several other parameters,
which are not accessible from the Xboard keyboard. The additional features are as
follows:
• Xboard can send a different program change on any or all MIDI channels
when a new Patch is selected.
• The MIDI channel and CC number can be set independently for each of the
16 controller knobs.
• The Pitch Wheels and Control Pedal can be reprogrammed to send any
desired CC message.
• Knob controllers and Xboard patches and banks can be named with up to 16
characters.
Definitions
Active Patch The “live” patch in the Xboard – the one that’s currently “in
control”. Whenever you edit patch settings using the Xboard
Control Patch Editor view or via the Xboard’s front panel, you’re
editing the active patch. This patch usually starts out as a copy of
one of the stored patches, but is itself only temporary -– it must
be stored in order to retain any changes you make to patch
settings, which are otherwise lost the next time a patch is
recalled or the Xboard is switched off.
Bank A set of 16 patches representing one complete memory dump
from the Xboard.
Patch One complete set of parameters for the Xboard.
Refresh
This function updates the Xboard Control application so that it
holds current copies of the stored patches and the active patch in
the Xboard. Refresh is not performed automatically, You must
manually Refresh if you have made edits on the Xboard.
Store The act of writing a patch into the Xboard non-volatile memory.
