MidiChan (MIDI Channel): This option sets the MIDI Channel on which the data will be transmitted. This can be set to
a value between 1 and 16, or to ‘KeybCHAN’ or ‘ComnCHAN’. Like the ‘KeybPORT’ and ‘ComnPORT’ options for the Ports
setting, ‘KeybCHAN’ and ‘ComnCHAN’ are special options which allow the MIDI Channel setting for the control to follow
one of two common MIDI Channel settings which can be accessed from the template edit menu (Keyboard Channel and
Common Channel). More information on the Keyboard Channel and Common Channel routing settings can be found in page 24.
CC Num (Control Change Number): This allows you to set the Control Change (CC) number for the control to a value
from 0 through 127. You can toggle the display format of the CC Num setting between decimal and hexadecimal by
pressing the ROW-SELECT button for the upper left-hand row of buttons.
Pick-Up: This setting is only available for pots, sliders, the pitch/mod joystick and the expression pedal. Where available,
it can be found on the second page of control settings so scroll up to access it. It allows you to set the response of the
control to one of the following:
ON: After selecting a template, if the current position of a control does not match the value of the control stored with the
template, the control will not have any effect when operated until its position matches the value stored with the template.
OFF: After selecting a template, if the current position of a control does not match the value of the control stored with the
template, the control value will “jump” from the stored value to match the position of the control as soon as the control is
operated.
GLOBAL: The control will follow the Pick-Up setting in the Global menu, which can be set to ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. The advantage
presented by this option is that the response of some or all controls in multiple templates can be changed by editing a
single parameter, rather than editing the individual setting for each control.
TEMPLATE: The control will follow the Pick-Up setting in the Template menu, which can be set to ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. The
advantage presented by this option is that the response of some or all controls in a template can be changed by editing
a single parameter, rather than editing the individual setting for each control.
