E-Mu orbit v2 Manuale Utente

Chapter 3: Master Menu

This function lets the Orbit utilize or ignore incoming MIDI preset
change or Bank Select commands for each channel. Note that a MIDI
program change command can only select presets in bank 0. The
presets in banks 1-4 can be selected manually, by changing the MIDI
bank, by using a MIDI bank select command, or by using the mapping
function “MIDI PROGRAM ➙ PRESET”.

Orbit allows you to assign up to four realtime control sources from
your MIDI controller. These control sources could be modulation
wheels, data sliders or whatever. In this screen, you set up which
controllers will be received by Orbit. What effect the controller will
have is programmed separately for each preset. The Orbit MIDI con-
trollers are each assigned a letter, A-D. Each controller letter can be
assigned to a MIDI realtime controller from 00-31. Note: If controller
numbers 7 or 10 are selected, they will override the standard MIDI
volume and pan control routings.

CONTROLLER# ABCD

This function allows any MIDI controller number from 0-31, mono
pressure, or the pitch wheel to change the X Factor (transpose) of
Beats mode. Two controllers can be assigned to move the X Factor
both up and down from its initial position. With a wheel assigned to
the up control, moving the wheel up adds a positive offset to the X
Factor setting. Moving the wheel back down returns the X Factor to its
original setting. The maximum controller offset is 

±

36, which is added

to the initial setting. The pitch wheel (pwh) can be assigned to both
up and down settings to allow bidirectional control. When “Off” is
selected, external control of X Factor is disabled. This controller is
only recognized on MIDI channel 16, unless Orbit is in Omni mode,
in which case all channels are accepted.
