When one button is configured to increment through sound patches (such as, 1, 2, 3, etc.), and another to

decrement through them (such as, 127, 126, 125, etc.), the second button will not decrement from where the

first button left off (for example, 2, 1, 0).

Reversing the Operation of Knobs or Faders

Most MIDI parameters that are assignable to knobs or faders can be configured to reverse the controls opera-

tion. Once a control is assigned to a MIDI parameter, by default the Data 2 parameter defines a minimum

value (such as, zero) while the Data 3 parameter defines a maximum value to be transmitted (such as 127). Re-

versing the operation of knobs or faders is achieved by entering a higher value for the Data 2 parameter (usu-

ally minimum) and a lower value for the Data 3 parameter (usually maximum).

This is useful when a single fader needs to be configured to work as a drawbar, or if a knob needs to be con-

figured in reverse when controlling a particular parameter. In the case of a fader, this is an alternative to using

the Drawbar function detailed in Chapter 4, “Advanced Keyboard Functions,” because it allows the configu-

ration of different minimum and maximum values.

This requires two values to be specified (values given are examples):

To configure a knob or fader to reverse Its operation:

1 Select a knob or fader as described earlier.

2 Press the Edit button.

3 Press the Data 2 key. The LCD screen will read “MIN” and display the currently selected control (for example

“F1”), and the current value (for example “0”).

4 Enter 127 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its maximum value when it is all the

way down.

5 Press the Enter key.

6 Press the Edit button.

7 Press the Data 3 key. The LCD screen will read “MAX” and display the currently selected control (for exam-

ple “F1”), and the current value (for example “127”).

8 Enter 0 using the number keys. This configures the control to reach its minimum value when it is all the way

up.

9 Press the Enter Key.

The knob or fader now operates in reverse. What was originally the maximum position is now the minimum

position, and vice versa.
