If the X1 area is pressed and kept pressed, the display could show the
following :
Filter Freq
55 CC74 1 U12
When releasing a finger from the touchpad the display could show :
Control Type:
CC
The control would now be edited in the normal way (as in the case of a
rotary or slider control) where the type, high and low values, display
type and MIDI options can be altered.
In the two displays above the X1 pad is given a name of filter frequency
and is set to a Continuous Controller type (‘CC’) . The continuous con-
troller is number 74 and the current value is 55.
In Play Mode, moving a finger across the touchpad would cause an
incrementing value from 0 - 127 to be output as the finger is moved
from left to right.
In Template Edit Mode, to edit the next value, say the Y1 value, the
top left quadrant has to be pressed and so on for the remaining X2 and
Y2 controls.
Note: Not all of the four controls have to be programmed for the touch-
pad. It is perfectly OK to have just one value (say the X1 axis) pro-
grammed for the touchpad.
Using The Footswitch Or Pedal
Normally, MIDI Continuous Controller Numbers (CCs) 11 and 64 are
used for the Expression Pedal and Sustain On/Off Pedal. These CC
numbers are defined in all Factory Preset Templates, but of course may
be edited within a Template to transmit any other type of Controller data
instead.
Sustain Footswitch
In Play Mode, the following display will appear if a footswitch is activat-
ed :
Sustain Pedal
127 CC64 1 U12
The value to the bottom left of the display will indicate if the switch is
On or Off (On = 127, Off = 0). The name of the pedal may be edited in
Template edit mode if required.
The Footswitch normally transmits using CC64.
Expression Pedal
In Play Mode the following display will appear if the Expression pedal is
moved.
Expression Pedal
32 CC11 1 U12
The value to the bottom left of the display (32 is this example) will indi-
cate show the current position of the pedal. The name of the pedal may
be edited in Template edit mode if required.
The Expression Pedal normally transmits using CC11.
The socket on the rear panel excepts a ‘Tip Ring Sleeve’ type of 1/4”
Jack. The X-Station sends power to the Tip and Sleeve and the poten-
tiometer in the pedal returns a voltage ( 0 - 5 Volts ) on the Ring con-
nection.
Saving A Template To Memory
Once a Template has been configured in Template Edit Mode, it may
be written to any of the X-Station’s 40 Template memories. Note that it
is possible to overwrite any of the Template presets loaded into the X-
Station at the factory.
The Template write procedure is invoked by pressing the TEMPLATE
WRITE button while in Template Edit Mode or Template Select Mode.
If the Memory Protect switch is set On, the following screen is dis-
played :
MEMORY PROTECTED
And the write procedure is halted. After about half a second, the X-
Station resumes in Play Mode. It will be necessary to set the Memory
Protect switch to Off before any X-Station memories can be over-writ-
ten. This is described on page 25.
Otherwise, pressing the TEMPLATE WRITE button brings up the first
screen in the write process :
V Station
To Template 10
Shown on the top line is the existing name of the Template (this can be
changed later in the write procedure - see below). On the bottom line is
the Template memory location where the Template data is to be written
(this defaults to the current location). A different destination memory
can be selected by using the DATA / VALUE encoder.
A second press of the TEMPLATE WRITE button will show :
Template Name ?
V Station
Here it is possible to edit the instrument name for the Template. The
name is limited to 16 characters long. A cursor indicates the current
character in the name selected for editing. Use the CURSOR LEFT /
RIGHT buttons to select a different character to edit.
The currently selected character in the name can be altered by using
the DATA / VALUE encoder. On this display, the five TRANSPORT but-
tons provide useful functions :
REWIND button Upper Case Alphas
FAST FORWARD button Lower Case Alphas
STOP button 0 - 9 Numbers
START button Special Chars
RECORD button Replaces current character with a space
character
