Using the X/Y Touchpad
The touchpad allows transmission of up to four MIDI data values, two on the X-axis (horizontal) and two
on the Y-axis (vertical). The MIDI data transmitted depends on how a finger moves along the Touchpad; by
moving a finger in a diagonal direction, both X- & Y-axis data is generated simultaneously. Alternatively, just
moving a finger along the bottom of the Touchpad will only transmit X-axis data.
Using the Touchpad in PLAY Mode
In PLAY mode, the display will show the values being sent out to the USB port and/or MIDI, for example:
If any of the X or Y controls have been set to ‘No Control’, then the display will show ‘Off’ for that control.
In the example above, the Y2 control has been set to ‘No control’, so only one parameter is assigned to the
Y-axis but two to the X-axis. This display allows the exact size of each parameter on each axis to be viewed
while in use, it does not allow the viewing of the type of MIDI data assigned to each axis. Edit Mode must be
selected to view the details of the MIDI data being transmitted by each axis (see below).
Using the Touchpad in EDIT Mode
By pressing the EDIT button once and entering the individual Template Edit Mode (the LED to the left of the
button will illuminate not flash), the MIDI data assigned to the Touchpad can easily be viewed and edited, as
with any of the Xio’
s contr
ols. Selecting either X1, X2, Y1 or Y2 for edit is slightly different than editing any
other control as there are essentially four different controls on the one Touchpad. With other assignable
controls (knobs and buttons), simply moving the control will suffice but these only have one parameter
assigned to them at any one time. W
ith the Touchpad in EDIT Mode, there needs to be a way of calling up
any of the four parameters for edit. This is done by dividing the Touchpad into four quadrants, as follows:
X1 = 105 Y1 = 056
X2 = 087 Y2 = Off
