To assign a new shortcut to a command, enter the type of shortcut in
the drop-down menu “Status”.
Note: MIDI commands can also be learned. If you should use control
change events for remote controlling, you can choose between
“CtrlUpDn” and “CtrlChg” in the “Status” menu.
• CtrlUpDn: This is a special adaptation for use with a sustain pedal
from the MIDI keyboard. A command is activated only when the
pedal is “tapped” lightly, because the sustain pedal is typically held
longer than it takes to actually activate an assigned command when
playing.
• NoteOn: Note on events are always transmitted when a key on the
MIDI keyboard is pressed. It’s also possible for other keys of the
MIDI keyboard to transmit note on events. Please refer to the
instructions of your MIDI device.
• CtrlChg: Control change events are transmitted to the MIDI device.
The MIDI device can also be programmed so that pressing a key will
transmit such a control change event. Please refer to the instructions
of your MIDI device.
• PrgChg: Program change events are actually there to effect a sound
change in the sound generator.
• PitchWheel: The pitch wheel normally serves to modulate the pitch
of the sound played. When using it, a quick movement is all that’s
necessary to execute an assigned command.
• Joystick1/2: Use the buttons 1-4 of your joystick to control the Auto
Jam Session. In the field beside it (“Button”), enter the
corresponding number of the desired button. You cannot set the
channel, since joysticks don’t have anything to do with MIDI devices.
• Channel: MIDI channel 1 is always set as the default. In case your
MIDI device transmits to a different MIDI channel, you can set it here.
• Assign: With this button you can activate the specified MIDI event or
set the joystick button as a new shortcut. A warning will be displayed
if this command should already have been assigned.
• Delete: Deletes the selected shortcut.
• Assigned: Shows all the functions of shortcuts assigned to menu
points. You can assign menu functions to multiple shortcuts.
