USER MANUAL
The Joystick
The Bitstream 3X is equipped with a dual axis joystick, allowing the generation of 2 distinct MIDI
events, in the same manor as the cross-fader.
These 2 MIDI events are considered as 2 distinct sliders, covering the X and Y axes (horizontal and
vertical respectively).
So, with one finger on the joystick, the user can generate 2 different MIDI events, for example, a
panoramic and volume, or other filter parameters… The joystick features a “No Lever reset” option that
allows to avoid a return to center once relaxed.

Selection of the «Current Function»
Role of the up-down buttons and the encoder
The up-down and encoder buttons have the same role: the selection of parameters or the changing of
the value of a parameter.
Along with modifiable parameters, which help the non-assignable controls, there are:
− The groups
− The memorized scenes
− The MIDI channels
Finally, to improve the ergonomy of the Bitstream 3X, the notion of « Current Function » is introduced.
This « current function» will be the actual function selected (along with the three listed above), which
responds to the up-down and encoder buttons.
One of these functions is simply activated by the touch of the corresponding button. The screen will
indicate the active function by showing two brackets around the value of the function.
