When using a Template, it often necessary to be able to quickly change the MIDI channel of all controls in
the current template to match the receive channel of the connected MIDI device. (This is the case for
example when using a VST software instrument and each instance has a different MIDI channel) 

A convenient way of doing this when in Play Mode is by using the CURSOR buttons located beneath the
display.

Pressing either CURSOR buttons changes the MIDI transmit channel for all controls within the current tem-
plate and for the keyboard. On each CURSOR button press, the selected MIDI channel setting appears on
screen :

MIDI Inst Chan:

1

After about half a second, the display reverts back to the standard screen showing the current Template’s
name and number.

It is important to note that every one of the assignable Template controls and the keyboard have their own
MIDI channel assigned within the Template memory. It is possible for a single Template to contain controls
that have there own unique MIDI channel. Changing the MIDI Inst Chan setting always over-rides any
channel settings stored within the Template.

When MIDI Inst Chan is set to Off, the MIDI channels used for each control will revert to those stored indi-
vidually for each control within the Template data.

This setting is temporary. The overide MIDI channel defined here will be lost as soon as a new Template is
selected.

Using the Programmable Template Controls

Every Template contains definitions of the type of MIDI information to be transmitted when any of the
assignable encoders, knobs, sliders, buttons or X-Y touchpad are used. It is not mandatory that every con-
trol has to transmit MIDI information, so it is possible that controls in a Template may be defined as ‘No
Control’. 

Data transmitted by a control is indicated on the bottom line of the display. When a control is moved, it will
be one of the following :

This is indicated by CC followed by the controller number.
