Controller Assignments
SW1/2 Assignments
Switch assignments are saved separately with each
Program, Combination, and Song.
For more information, see:
Programs: “1–7: Controllers Setup” on page 18
Combinations: “1–1: Controllers Setup” on page 91
Sequencer mode: “1–1: Controllers Setup” on page 147
List of SW 1/2 assignments
The following functions can be assigned to SW1 and SW2.
Off
This setting disables the switch.
SW1 Mod. (CC#80) (SW1 Modulation: CC#80)
SW2 Mod. (CC#81) (SW2 Modulation: CC#81)
This lets you use the switch as an AMS or Dmod source.
Note that you’ll also need to assign SW1 Mod or SW2 Mod
to control the desired parameter within the Program or
Effect.
Each time the switch is turned on or off, it transmits the
corresponding MIDI CC (80 or 81); Off is 0, and On is 127.
Porta.SW (CC#65) (Portamento SW: CC#65)
This turns Portamento on and off. When the LED is lit,
Portamento is on.
Each time the switch is turned on or off, it transmits MIDI
CC#65; Off is 0, and On is 127.
With single Programs, this simply enables and disables
Portamento, regardless of the of the Program’s stored
Portamento Enable setting.
With double Programs, it’s slightly more complex. If
Portamento is either enabled for both OSC 1 and 2, or off for
both, then the Portamento Switch controls both OSC.
If Portamento is enabled for only one of the two, only that
element will be affected by the switch; for the other element,
Portamento will always be off.
Octave Down
When the switch is on (LED lit), the pitch will be transposed
down by one octave.
Octave Up
When the switch is on (LED lit), the pitch will be transposed
up by one octave.
Lock functions
The Lock functions let you use SW1 or SW2 to “lock” the
current position of the joystick. This leaves your hands free
to play on the keyboard, or to use other controllers.
For instance, let’s say that JS+Y is assigned to create a filter
sweep, and that SW2 is assigned to JS+Y Lock. You can then:
1. Move the joystick to open up the filter.
2. Press SW2 to turn on JS+Y Lock.
3. Release the joystick.
Since SW2 is locking JS+Y, the filter remains open, even
though the joystick has physically snapped back to its center
position.
Note that Lock affects only the physical controls. Even if
Lock is On, incoming MIDI messages can still change the
joystick.
For more information, please see “Using the Lock function”
on page 20 of the Owner’s manual.
JS X Lock
Locks the effect of the joystick X axis.
JS Y Lock
Locks the effect of the joystick Y axis (both + and –
directions).
JS+Y Lock
Locks the effect of the joystick +Y direction.
JS–Y Lock
Locks the effect of the joystick –Y direction.
