17. Assignable Rotary controllers
All these assignable controllers are selected by the ‘CONTROL SELECT’ & 'CONTROL ASSIGN' functions for
these keyboards.
Assignable Controllers’
refers to any of the 8, 12 or 16 assignable Knobs and also includes the assignable Wheel
and Slider. The Slider is Assignable Controller 13 or 17(for MK249C and MK-361C only), the Wheel is Assignable
Controller 9, 14 or 18.
The basic operation is:-
Press the CONTROL SELECT buttons together. Select the controller by moving it or by typing the number in.
Press the CONTROL ASSIGN buttons and enter the new number using the keypad.
To change one of the assignable controllers, the keyboard uses the following method:
Press both 'CONTROL SELECT' buttons and release.
The LED display shows the current Controller which has been selected. The LED’s toggle between the
controller number and the assigned value. E.g. initially it would toggle between c14 & 01, showing that the
Wheel is assigned to the Modulation Wheel controller.
Select a controller by moving any one of the assignable controllers, the numeric keypad or the +/- keys.
The LED then toggles the display between the new controller and its assignment.
Repeat this process to see the
controller number assignment
(0-132) for any
Knob, Slider
or the
Wheel,
by
moving the relevant controller or by typing a new number.
If no keys are pressed or any of the assignable controllers moved, the LED display stops flashing after 3
seconds and returns to normal operation.
Press both 'CONTROL ASSIGN' buttons and release.
The number entered at this point will be assigned to the last selected controller.
The numeric entry uses the standard data entry system. (see section on Entering Numbers)
If a complete number is entered the display stops flashing and the new assignment is stored.
If the +/- keys are used, the revised value is shown on the LED display and the flashing time-out is reset.
Once a controller has been assigned the current knob/slider/wheel position should be sent out.
This ensures that when the controller if first moved it does not trigger a large jump from it’s previous setting.
During the data entry stage while the LED display is flashing, the
Knobs, Slider
and the
Wheel
do not function.
The MIDI keyboard should continue to function at
all times
18. Snap Shot
When both SNAP SHOT keys are pressed the MK-249C sends out the settings for all of the Assignable Controllers
on the current selected channel. This feature lets you record the settings of the Knobs, Slider & Mod Wheel into
your sequencer.
