Basic Operations

Xboard

The keyboard can be transposed up and down ±4 octaves 
by pressing the Octave Transpose buttons. The octave 
number appears momentarily in the display. The LED on 
the transpose button remains lit to remind you that the 
keyboard is transposed. The transposition value is stored 
with the patch.

Octave Transpose works differently depending on your zones settings:

• With Zones disabled, the keyboard is simply transposed by octaves.
• With Zones enabled and Octave Transpose Mode set to Pre Zone(

), 

the keyboard is transposed, but each Zone’s tuning stays the same.

• With Zones enabled and Octave Transpose Mode set to Post Zone(

), 

any Zone that has Post Zone Octave Transpose enabled (

) is trans-

posed, while the keyboard’s tuning stays the same.

You can change MIDI continuous controller numbers (0-127) for each knob, 
pedal, or the Mod Wheel on the Xboard. The Xboard CC numbers must match the 
CC numbers on your synthesizer in order to operate.



1. Press the Edit button.
2. Move the controller you want to change. This can be any of the 16 controller 

knobs, a pedal, or the Mod Wheel. The Enter button blinks and the display 
shows you the controller’s current CC Channel number.

3. Select the desired CC Channel number using the Data Slider or the Octave 

Transpose + and - buttons. On the Xboard 61, you can also use the Direct 
Patch Select buttons 1 through 16.

4. Press Enter to confirm the operation. Or, press Home to cancel the operation.

16 Channel Control mode is a special performance mode in which all 16 knobs 
send one CC number on MIDI channels 1 through 16. This allows you to control a 
single parameter on all 16 MIDI channels. For example, if the controller number 
were set to #7 (Channel Volume), the knobs could be used to mix the volumes of 
all 16 MIDI channels.
