recording, and playing, of the rst custom control. If
a custom control starts multiple custom controls, you
must stop each one individually, or use the Stop All
Other Custom Control command.
Note: The Play CC command applies to a target custom
control button only. If you move the contents of the custom
control from the button selected in the Play CC to another
button, the Play CC command will not follow and will continue
to play the custom control assigned to the original button.
• Run Multiple CCs — You can run multiple custom
controls at the same time by pressing the
corresponding custom control button. The Multiple
Custom Control feature must be on. If a custom
control is already running, pressing the button again
will stop it. You can run a maximum of 96 custom
controls at the same time.
• Select Memory Bank CC — You can insert a Select
Memory Bank command into a custom control that
will select different memory bank(s) when the custom
control is run. To insert the Select Memory Bank
command into a custom control, select the memory
bank(s) you want to select as you are recording the
custom control. A custom control can have multiple
Select Memory Banks. If you only press the BANK
button, the next successive Bank is recorded,
depending on what Memory Bank Cycle is set to.
• Key Clip and Gain — You can record clip and gain
settings for a key in a custom control by using the
punchpad to adjust the clip and gain settings while
recording the custom control. The custom control
will adjust the clip and gain to the new settings when
run.
Custom Control Banks
Custom Control Banks allow you to group custom
controls together, separate from custom controls on other
banks. Each bank is assigned to a custom control button,
similar to how a custom control is recorded to a custom
control button. When you select different banks, the
remaining custom control buttons switch to the custom
controls that were recorded to the selected bank.
Custom control buttons that are assigned to banks cannot
be used for custom control on other banks.
