RE2: Bank Select
Displayed as: Bank
Default value: (currently selected)
Range of adjustment: A to D
This allows you to select the Bank of Patches to dump. It will initially display the Bank of the
currently-selected Patch. If this is not the one you want, select another.
RE3: Patch Select
Displayed as: Patch
Default value: (currently selected)
Range of adjustment: 1 to 127
This will display the number of the currently-selected Patch. If this is not one of the
Patch(es) you want to dump, you can select another.
RE4: Not used.
RE5: The encoder is not used.
Display shows: Current
Press the button below RE5 if you want to dump only the current Patch. This will include
any parameter changes which have been made, but not saved.
RE6: The encoder is not used.
Display shows: OnePatch
Press the button below RE6 if you want to dump the current Patch in its original form (as
last saved). In this case, any alterations which have been made to it will not be included.
RE7: The encoder is not used.
Display shows: OneBank
Press the button below RE7 if you want to dump all 127 Patches in the currently-selected
Bank.
RE8: The encoder is not used.
Display shows: AllBanks
Press the button below RE8 if you want to dump all the Patches currently in the UltraNova.

In addition to saving Patch data via a dump to a computer, it is also possible to dump the
current settings of the Global and Audio Menus.
RE1: Dump Port Select
Displayed as: DUMP to
Default value: USBport
Range of adjustment: USBport or MIDIout
This control selects which external data port is to be used for the dump.
RE2: Not used.
RE3: The encoder is not used.
Display shows: Globals & Audio
Press the button below RE3 if you want to dump the current settings of the Global and
Audio Menus.

Global Menu Page 6 – Calibration
The UltraNova’s controllers should all operate correctly out of the box, however on occa-
sion it may be necessary to calibrate them to ensure they operate as intended. In particular,
this procedure is recommended following an OS update. The controllers that can be cali-
brated are: the pitch wheel (PITCH), the Mod wheel (MOD) and Aftertouch. To calibrate a
controller you need to move it to its extremes, e.g., turn the Pitch wheel downwards as far
as it can go (you will notice that the BendWhl value on the display will show zero). Then
rotate the Pitch wheel to its opposite extent (the BendWhl value will show 255). With
the Pitch wheel in its central position, it should return a BendWhl value of approximately
128. The Pitch wheel is now calibrated, and the procedure for calibrating the Mod wheel is
identical (use the ModWhl parameter).
To calibrate Aftertouch, lightly press a key, and observe the Aftouch parameter value of
zero; then press the key hard, and observe the value of 127. Aftertouch is now calibrated.
Correctly calibrated controllers should return the following values:
Pitch – Min. (0); Centre (128); Max. (255)
Mod – Min. (0); Max. (127)
Aftertouch – Min. (0); Max. (127)
After performing the above procedure, press WRITE [23] to store the revised calibration.
RE1-5: Not used, but note that the Aftertouch value (see below) is displayed below RE5.
RE6: SetAftouch
SetAftouch sets Aftertouch sensitivity. With a value set to 127 you will find that only a very
slight difference in key pressure is required to return a control value of zero and one of 127,
displayed as the Aftouch value. With lower values of SetAftouch, the pressure difference
is more marked. In general, keeping SetAftouch set to a mid-range value will give the best
results.
RE7-8: Not used.
Global Menu Page 7 – OS Transmit
If you want to make a backup copy of the UltraNova’s operating system, it is possible to
perform a SysEx dump of the data to your computer from this page.
To transmit the OS, press the flashing button under RE3.
