   • Your WORLDE controller should appear in the list of available MIDI input devices. Enable it.
   • Refer to your software's documentation for specific instructions on mapping controls to parameters.

For optimal performance, ensure your operating system is up to date.

Operating Your Controller

The operation of your WORLDE MIDI controller will vary slightly depending on the model. Below are general guidelines for common controls.

General Controls (Applicable to various models)

• គ្រាប់ចុច៖ Rotate to adjust parameters such as tone, filter cutoff, resonance, or effect levels.
• Sliders/Faders: Move up and down to control volume, expression, or other continuous parameters.
• ប៊ូតុង៖ Press to trigger notes, toggle effects, activate functions, or send specific MIDI messages.
• Transport Buttons (Rew, Play, FF, Loop, Stop, Rec): These buttons are typically used to control playback and recording functions within your DAW.
• ប៊ូតុងដែលអាចកំណត់បាន៖ These buttons can be configured within your DAW to trigger specific functions or send custom MIDI Control Change (CC) messages.

Model-Specific Operation

EasyControl.9 Specifics

• Control Groups: Each of the 9 groups (knob, slider, button) can be mapped to control different parameters in your software. The sliders often have MIN/MAX markings for visual reference.
• Memory Banks: Use the bank selection buttons (often labeled 1-4 or A/B with indicators) to switch between different sets of control mappings. This allows you to quickly change the function of the knobs, sliders, and buttons for different instruments or effects.
• Control Message Buttons (64/67): These buttons are pre-assigned to send specific MIDI CC messages, commonly used for sustain (CC64) or sostenuto (CC67) functions.

EasyPad.12 Specifics

• Velocity-Sensitive Pads: The 12 pads respond to how hard you strike them, allowing for expressive control over dynamics (volume) of samples or notes.
• Memory Banks: Similar to EasyControl.9, use the bank buttons to switch between different pad layouts or sample assignments.
• គ្រាប់រំកិលកម្រិតសំឡេង៖ The dedicated slider controls the overall output volume. Note that this slider is for volume adjustment only and cannot be re-assigned for editing other parameters.

Easykey.25 Specifics

• គ្រាប់ចុច​ងាយ​ស្រួល​ក្នុង​ល្បឿន៖ The 25 mini-keys respond to playing dynamics, allowing for expressive musical performance.
• Octave Buttons (Octave Down/Up): Use these buttons to shift the pitch range of the keyboard up or down, allowing access to a wider range of notes than the physical keys provide.
• Pitch Down/Pitch Up Buttons: These buttons typically function as pitch bend controls, momentarily shifting the pitch of played notes.
• ប៊ូតុង Mod៖ This button usually acts as a modulation control, often mapped to vibrato or other expressive parameters in your software.
• ប៊ូតុងកែសម្រួល៖ The Edit button may be used in conjunction with other controls to enter a programming mode for custom settings, if available. Refer to advanced documentation for specific editing functions.
• CC Mode Button: This button likely switches the function of certain controls to send Control Change messages instead of note data, allowing for more flexible parameter control.

1. ឧបករណ៍មិនត្រូវបានទទួលស្គាល់៖
   • ត្រូវប្រាកដថាខ្សែ USB ត្រូវបានភ្ជាប់យ៉ាងរឹងមាំទៅនឹងឧបករណ៍បញ្ជា និងកុំព្យូទ័ររបស់អ្នក។
   • សាកល្បងរន្ធ USB ផ្សេងនៅលើកុំព្យូទ័ររបស់អ្នក។
   • សាកល្បងខ្សែ USB ផ្សេង។
   • ចាប់ផ្ដើមកុំព្យូទ័ររបស់អ្នកឡើងវិញ។
   • Verify that your operating system (Windows 8/7/XP/Vista or Mac OSX) is supported.
2. No Sound/No MIDI Input in Software:
   • Check your DAW or music software's MIDI settings to ensure the WORLDE controller is enabled as an input device.
   • Make sure you have an instrument or sound loaded in your software that is configured to receive MIDI input from the controller.
   • Verify that the correct MIDI channel is selected in your software and on the controller (if applicable).
   • For Easykey.25, ensure the Octave buttons haven't shifted the keys out of the audible range of your loaded instrument.
3. ការគ្រប់គ្រងមិនឆ្លើយតប៖
   • Ensure the controller is powered on (indicated by LEDs).
   • Check if you are in the correct memory bank for your desired mappings.
   • Verify that the controls are correctly mapped within your DAW or software.
   • For EasyPad.12, remember the volume slider is for volume only and cannot be re-assigned for editing.

If problems persist, consult your DAW's manual or contact customer support.
