[1] ENCODER (Encoder assignment)
The Encoder assignment page lets you assign MIDI messages to the rotary
encoders, specify the MIDI channel on which the messages will be
transmitted, etc. You can assign a control change (CC#), RPN, or NRPN
message to each encoder.
1
Hold down the [SETTING] key and press pad [1].
You will be in the Encoder assignment page, and the [SETTING] key
and pad [1] will light. The main display indicates “Encoder Select,”
prompting you to select the encoder to assign.
Each sub-display indicates the MIDI message assigned to the
corresponding encoder, and the MIDI transmit channel.
The selectable parameters or values will blink in the main display.
If you want to check the MIDI messages assigned to an encoder or
slider, enter Setting mode and check the sub-displays.
2
Use the main encoder to choose the encoder to which you want to
assign a MIDI message. Alternatively, you can select the desired
encoder simply by turning it directly.
If SW1 and 2 are both lit, you can also use these to select an encoder to
assign.
3
Press the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [®] key to proceed to “Message
Select” (select the MIDI message).
4
Use the main encoder or the pads to select the MIDI message you want
to assign.
NoAsgn (No Assign)
No MIDI message is assigned to the selected encoder. If you select
NoAsgn, press the [ENTER] key (blinking) to update the setting.
(Step 9)
CC#000-127 (Control Change)
Assigns the selected control change message. (p.56 “Available MIDI
messages”)
NRPN, RPN
Assigns an NRPN or RPN to the encoder. If you select NRPN or RPN,
you will need to specify the “MSB” and “LSB” for the controller. For
details, see “Setting mode–Assigning NRPN or RPN” (p.21).
Control change, NRPN or RPN, and MIDI channel values can also be
set by directly operating the encoder itself (or the slider if making a
slider assignment). To make a setting for a different encoder (or slider),
simply move that encoder (or slider). The display will show the setting
for the encoder (or slider) you operated, and the display backlight color
will change accordingly.
You can press the [HEX LOCK] key and input hexadecimal values.
