Control Assign
You can assign the Modulation wheel, the fader and even the foot switch pedal to any MIDI CC messages. Assignments are
stored over power cycling so the keyboard is set up the way you left it, when you next switch it on.
Here is how it works:
 Press the [Octave Up]+[Transpose Up] buttons at the same time. The LED above the button will blink and the color is
orange to indicate setup is active.
 Press the low C#1 on your keyboard to select Control Assign.
 Move or press a control to select the control you want to assign a MIDI CC message to.
 Enter the MIDI CC value using the white number keys spanning G3–B4 (G4-B5 on SE4961).
 Press Enter (C5) to accept the change and exit Setup.

orange to indicate setup is active.
 Press the low D1 on your SE49 keyboard to select MIDI Channel.
 Enter the MIDI channel value you want (from 1 to 16) using the white number keys spanning G3–B4.
