MOTÖR 61 / MOTÖR 49 Controls
(EN) Step 2: Controls
(6) OPERATION MODE
MIDI - this puts the unit into MIDI mode,
where it can send and respond to MIDI data.
When MIDI is engaged, this button will light,
and MC mode will be disengaged. (This is the
standard mode, where all assignments can be
done freely by the user and stored into presets.)
MC - this puts the encoders, faders, transport
buttons and both foot controls into MC
mode (Mackie Control-compatible protocol),
where they send out and respond to MC data.
When MC is engaged, this button will light.
Please note that this mode o ers a hybrid
operation – MC control for the panel controls
(apart from the pads), and in parallel standard
MIDI operation for the keys, pads and both
wheels. For this reason it is not necessary to
toggle between MIDI and MC operation mode.
If your software supports the Mackie Control
protocol, you can stay permanently in MC mode.
Please note that for MC communication, it is
required to assign the second indicated MIDI port
to the Mackie Control Surface in your MIDI DAW.
(7) TEMPO - tap this button twice at your desired
tempo to adjust the beats per minute (BPM).
The button will ash on the downbeat of the
current BPM. If the PRESET menu is currently shown
in the display, you can also adjust the BPM by
pressing the TEMPO button and then turning the
DATA knob.
(8) OCTAVE ± - these allow you to raise or lower
the keyboard’s pitch range in steps of an octave.
Pressing both buttons together will reset to
Octave 0 (no transpose). These buttons can
also be used for data ± entering in various
Edit menus. To allow a rmware update,
press and hold down both Octave buttons while
turning on the power switch.
(9) PITCH BEND - this wheel allows you to lower or
raise the pitch.
(10) MODULATION - this wheel allows you to apply
vibrato (modulation). This wheel can be assigned
to a di erent CC number using the GLOBAL/MIDI/
CHANGE CONTROL menu.
(11) KEYS - 49 or 61 semi-weighted full-size keys
featuring expressive velocity and after-touch.
(12) DATA - this push-encoder knob allows you to
navigate within the display by scrolling through
available menus and values; pushing it selects
the menu or value. If you turn the knob faster,
the value will also change faster (depending on
the selected parameter).
(13) BACK and FWD - these buttons and the DATA
knob, allow you to navigate through the display.
(14) FADER BANKS - these buttons allow you to
select the group of 8 faders through 4 banks,
so each fader can represent 8 di erent parameters
(4 touch and 4 move commands). It does not a ect
the master fader, as it has no banks. Note: All BANK
buttons (faders, encoders, and pads) change only
the bank, they do not send out any MIDI data when
in MIDI mode.
(15) ENCODER BANKS - these allow you to select the
group of 8 encoders through 4 banks.
(16) PAD BANKS - these allow you to select the group
of 8 pads through 4 banks.
(17) FADERS - these 60 mm, motorized, touch-
sensitive faders, allow you to control your DAW
mixer, drawbar organ, soft synths or e ect units.
In MIDI mode the faders can send and receive
CC commands for movement, and CC or Note
command for touch. In MC mode they follow
the protocol of your DAW software. 4 di erent
banks (fader assignments) can be selected in
MIDI mode, using the FADER BANK buttons.
Fader 9 (Master) is generally used as a master
volume control. It operates the same as the other
faders, except it has no banks.
(18) TRANSPORT BUTTONS - these standard
transport controls allow direct access to your
DAW record/play controls.
<< >> - shuttles the song back or forward,
or skip back and forth between markers.
STOP - stops playback.
PLAY - starts playback.
LOOP - loops a selection during playback.
RECORD - arms the recording function.
(19) ENCODERS - these detented endless encoders
each have a ring of 13 LEDs. They send out either
MIDI or MC data depending on which mode is
selected, and they can be switched between
4 banks using the ENCODER BANK buttons in
MIDI mode.
(20) DRUM PADS - these 8 backlit drum pads have
velocity and pressure-sensitivity for ultimate drum
and sample-loop performance. They can send
CC or MIDI note commands, and continuously-
variable aftertouch. The pad assignment can be
switched between 4 banks in MIDI mode, using the
PAD BANK buttons. Use the GLOBAL/PADS menu
to adjust the velocity and aftertouch assignments,
and use the GLOBAL/PADS/COLOR menu, to choose
from 16 backlit colors, individually for each pad.
(1) DISPLAY - this large backlit LCD screen allows
you to quickly check the keyboard status,
edit parameters, and navigate through four main
menus: PRESETS, GLOBAL, EDIT, and PROGRAM
CHANGE. Navigate the display menus by turning
the DATA knob (press to select) and the BACK and
FWD buttons. The contrast and brightness are
adjustable using the GLOBAL/DEVICE menu.
(2) PRESET - this menu allows you to quickly navigate
through the current presets and easily select one
with the DATA push encoder. For editing (save, copy,
delete, rename) please go to the EDIT menu,
where you can also see a preset overview list.
GLOBAL - this menu allows you to view and adjust
features and properties such as: MIDI assignments,
Pads, Faders, Encoders, Keyboard properties,
and Device settings such as LCD contrast and
brightness, and many other features.
EDIT - in this menu, you can save, copy, delete
and rename presets, and edit various additional
items and features such as the Arpeggiator,
Note Repeat (for pads), Transpose (for keyboard),
and Keyboard Split.
P CHNG - in this menu, you can set up the pads to
send program change messages to attached hardware
or software. There are two menus, the rst where you
can assign xed program change commands to the
pads, and the second menu where a single program
change message can be sent instantly.
(3) TIME DIVISION <<< / >>> - these buttons move
the value of the note repeat and arpeggio time
division between the available values. The current
time division value is shown in the display.
(4) FADER TOUCH - SHIFT and FOCUS - these 2 buttons
modify the “touch” function of the faders. Pressing and
holding SHIFT provides an alternate set of Note or
CC commands for the touch function of the faders.
FOCUS does the same, without the need to hold
down the button; you can toggle on/o this second
assignment mode with the FOCUS button. The alternate
command for each fader is setup using the GLOBAL/
MIDI/CHANGE CONTROL menu, by holding down the
FADER SHIFT button when setting the Change Control.
(5) ARPEG - this button turns the built-in arpeggiator
on or o . Various playing modes can be selected in
the EDIT/ARPEGGIATOR/STYLE menu.
A LATCH - when activated, it generates an
arpeggio based on latched keys, that continues to
play after the keys are released.
