Roland 5100009796-02 User Manual

Assigning MIDI Messages (EDIT Mode)

The A-PRO allows you to assign MIDI messages to each of its 44 controllers: [B1]–[B4], [R1]–[R9], [L1]–[L9], [S1]–[S9], [A1]–[A8], HOLD (P1), EXPRESSION (P2), BENDER, MODULATION, and
AFTERTOUCH. Edit mode is used to make MIDI message assignments. This section of the manual explains how to assign MIDI messages to the controllers using only the A-PRO keyboard.
You can also use A-PRO Editor to make assignments. For details, refer to “Using A-PRO Editor” (p. 22).

You can assign one of the following functions to each controller.

• If you want to assign a MIDI message to AFTERTOUCH, hold down the [ACT] button

and [

] button simultaneously, and then apply strong pressure to the keyboard.

• When you edit the assignment of a controller, the assignment is saved

automatically.

• You can copy an assigned message to another controller, or cancel an assignment.

For details, refer to “Copying an Assignment” (p. 56) or “Clearing an Assignment
(NO ASSIGN)” (p. 56).

* If you want to assign a system exclusive, a 1-byte system message (system realtime

messages, tune request), or any desired message of up to 24 bytes, you’ll need to use
A-PRO Editor.
