Pitch Bend / Mod Calibration (Menu Page 8)
Here the Modulation / Pitch Bend joystick can be calibrated.
Cal Pitch/Mod:
--- ---
The joystick is moved from the extreme left to the extreme right. The
digits below the word ‘Pitch’ will show 0 to 255. The joystick is then
moved from the extreme top to the extreme bottom. The digits below
the word ‘Mod’ will show 0 to 128.
The joystick mechanism is now calibrated. The calibration is saved by
saving the global settings. See page 27 for details. Normally, it should
not become necessary to calibrate the joystick again.
Aftertouch Calibration (Menu Page 9)
Here the Aftertouch response of the keyboard can be calibrated.
Cal Aftertouch:
--- ---
The number on the right hand side is the sensitivity setting. This is
adjusted manually by using the DATA / VALUE encoder.
Maximum pressure is applied to a keyboard note and the DATA /
VALUE encoder rotated until the digits on the left register a value of
127. The right hand digits should show a value of approximately 100.
A few different keyboard notes should be tried to check that any key
can achieve an Aftertouch maximum value of 127 without pressing
excessively hard.
The keyboard Aftertouch response is now calibrated. The calibration is
saved by saving the global settings. See page 27 for details. Normally,
it should not become necessary to calibrate the joystick again.
Battery Charge (Menu Page 10)
This page is used to set the battery charging options. The available
options are :

Power Status (Menu Page 11)
Pwr Status: PSU
Chg: OFF 10.1v
This menu page is used to display (as a status only) the powering sta-
tus of the X-Station. The DATA / VALUE encoder has no function here.
On the top line of the display can be seen the power source. This will
be PSU for the external PSU, USB for USB powering or BAT if the X-
Station is being powered by dry cells.
On the bottom line are shown at the left the charging rate (OFF, LOW,
MID or HI). To the right is shown the voltage level of any connected dry
cells.
Operating System Upgrade from USB (Menu Page 12)
New O/S From USB
Press Write...
This menu page is used to upgrade to a newer Operating System (O/S)
via the USB port that Novation may publish from time to time. The dis-
play will prompt to press the WRITE button. After pressing the WRITE
button the display will show :
Waiting New O/S
Press Write...
The new O/S should now be sent from the host computer. Operating
systems can be sent with the Novation OS installers that can be down-
loaded with the latest operating systems from www.novationmusic.com.
As the OS is received a percentage of receipt is displayed. When com-
pleted, a prompt is made to switch the X-Station Off and then back On
again.
Retain Template Values (Menu Page 13)
Determines whether the ‘current values’ for each control in the current
Template are remembered when a different Template is selected.
When set to ON, the ‘current values’ are remembered. If the original
Template is selected again at a later time, it is these remembered val-
ues which will be regarded as ‘current’.
Note : These remembered values are lost when the X-Station is pow-
ered off unless a Template is saved to memory.
When set to OFF, the values are not remembered and every time a
new Template is selected, it will be the values stored in the Template
memory data which are regarded as ‘current’.
The Retain Template Values setting should be used with the pot /
slider override control (Menu page 6) set to Pickup.
Default Sample Rate (Menu Page 14)
Defines the internal audio sampling rate when the X-Station is not con-
nected to a computer via USB.
When a USB cable is connected, the computer specifies the sampling
rate and altering this setting has no effect.
