Assigning Controllers
BANK MSB & LSB
In order to store more than the 128 patches, devices generally arrange patches into
multiple banks. To access the dierent banks, MIDI requires an identier made up of
two MIDI messages: Most Signicant Byte (MSB) and Least Signicant Byte (LSB). These
two messages, along with a program change command, will allow you to select a
bank, and a patch within that bank. Consult your device’s manual for a list of corre-
sponding MSB’s and LSB’s related to dierent banks.
To set the BANK MSB or BANK LSB, press the corresponding function key, and the cur-
rent MSB or LSB will ash on the display. Rotate the DATA knob or type in the desired
MSB or LSB number, and press ENTER. You can input numbers ranging from 0-127.
The Carbon 49 will transmit the new MSB or LSB to your device. If the number is out of
range, “-E-” (error) will ash on the screen for three seconds, and then return to the last
set number.
Note: To recall a new patch, a bank change must be followed by a program change.
VELOCITY CURVE
The velocity curve is how the keyboard interprets the speed with which a particular
key is pressed, and the relative MIDI velocity number it transmits. The Carbon 49 has
four dierent curves you can utilize (1–4, described below). To change the velocity
curve, press the key assigned to VELOCITY CURVE. The current selection will ash on
the display. Rotate the DATA knob or use the numerical keys to select the desired
curve. Press the ENTER key to conrm the selection, and the keyboard will be set to the
new velocity curve. It you choose a number out of range, “-E-” (error) will ash on the
display for three seconds, and then return to the last set velocity number.
Available Velocity Curves
No. Type Description
1 Normal Linear type curve - Default
2 Soft Results in a lower transmitted velocity (and corresponding volume)
3 Hard Results in a higher transmitted velocity (and corresponding
volume)
4 Fixed Note velocity is xed to 127
