Assigning a Note to a Button
It is possible to configure a Button to send a Note On message when it is held down, and a Note Off message when it
is released. This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples):
Key
Parameter
Value
Control Assign
Trigger Note On/Off
147
Data 1 (Example)
Note pitch
64
Data 2 (Example)
Note-Off velocity
0
Data 3 (example)
Note-On velocity
100
The following example configures a button to play MIDI note E4 while it is being held down and stop the note when
the button is released.
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Select button or Control Select (Ctrl Sel) key.
3. Select a button as described earlier in this guide.
4. Press the Control Assign (Ctrl Asgn) key.
5. Enter 147 using the number keys. This sets the button to trigger MIDI Notes.
6. Press the Data 1 key (Pitch/Note parameter).
7. Enter 64 using the number keys. This sets the button to play MIDI note 64.
8. Press the Data 2 key (Velocity Off).
9. Enter 0 using the number keys. This sets the button to transmit a Note Off message with a release velocity value
of 0.
10. Press the Data 3 key (Velocity On).
11. Enter 100 using the number keys. This sets the button to transmit a Note On message with a velocity of 100
when pressed.
12. Press the Enter key.
NOTE: It is also possible to configure a button to send a Note On message when it is pressed and a Note Off
message when it is pressed a second time. To do this, follow the above configuration steps, but enter 148 for the
"Control Assign" parameter.
Setting Buttons and Sustain Pedal to Send Combined Program Change, Bank LSB and
Bank MSB Messages
The assignable buttons and the sustain pedal can be configured to send a multi-part message, consisting of a
Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB message when pressed. This is useful for specific preset/sound
selection from a specific bank of a connected synthesizer or virtual instrument. This requires four values to be
specified (values given are examples).
The following example configures a button to send a total of 3 MIDI messages each time the button is pressed (Bank
LSB, Bank MSB and Program Change), allowing you to recall any sound in any bank of a connected software or
hardware synthesizer that supports this:
Key
Parameter Value
Control Assign
Program/Bank Preset select
145
Data 1 (example)
Program Change number
42
Data 2 (example)
Bank LSB number
8
Data 3 (example)
Bank MSB number
32
