6. Keyboard

MIDI Channel is assignable (range 1~16). Features 4 touch curves (range 0~3). Use [TRANSPOSE +/-] to change pitch by semi-tone (-12~12). Pressing both [TRANSPOSE +] and [TRANSPOSE -] simultaneously resets transpose to 0. Use [OCTAVE +/-] to change pitch by octave (-3~3). Pressing both [OCTAVE +] and [OCTAVE -] simultaneously resets octave to 0. Includes Multi-Function for EDIT.

7. Sustain

Sustain pedal interface for sustain function. CC and CN values can be modified via the editor. MIDI Channel is assignable (range 0~16).

8. USB Interface

Type C interface for connecting to a computer and DAW software. An adapter cable with OTG function may be needed for devices without a standard USB A port. Power Supply: USB SUPPLY: 5V 100mA.

Save/Load

Settings in RAM registers are read on power-on. Use the [LOAD] function to load custom settings (PROG1~PROG4). Use the [SAVE] function to save edits. There are 4 Program Presets: PROG1~PROG4.

LOAD: Press [PAD BANK] and [PROGRAM] simultaneously to enter Loading state (LEDs blink). Press PROG1~PROG4 to load a preset. The corresponding PROG LED lights if the preset is not empty. Exits automatically after 3 seconds or can be exited manually by pressing [PAD BANK] or [PROGRAM].

SAVE: Press [K BANK] and [S BANK] simultaneously to enter Saving state (LEDs blink). Press PROG1~PROG4 to save parameters. The corresponding PROG LED lights. Exits automatically after 3 seconds or can be exited manually by pressing [K BANK] or [S BANK].

Edit

Enter Edit state by pressing [TRANSPOSE +] and [OCTAVE +] simultaneously (LEDs blink). Operations involve:

1. Select content to modify (CC, CN, MODE, CURVE). Switching saves previous values.
2. Select object to modify (touch bar, pad, keyboard, knob, etc.). Switching saves previous values.
3. Enter corresponding value in the keyboard area.
4. Click [EXIT] to cancel or [ENTER] to store edits.

CC (Assign)

Assign CC, Note, or PC messages to units (Touch Bar, Pad, Button, Knob, Slider, Pedal, Keyboard). Press [CC] to enter CC Assignment state. Select a unit by pressing or moving it; the adjacent LED will light. Specific LEDs blink for different unit types: [TRANSPOSE +] for K1-K4, [TRANSPOSE -] for S1-S4, [OCTAVE +] for PEDAL, [OCTAVE -] for Keyboard. Use number keys (0~9) to enter values (e.g., 000, 001, ..., 127). Assign units one by one before exiting.

CN (Channel)

Assign each unit's channel. Press [CN] to enter Channel Assignment state. Select a unit. Use number keys (0~9) to enter channel numbers (00, 01, ..., 16). Choose another unit one by one before exiting.

Curve Diagrams Description:

• Hitting Pad Strength Curve: Four graphs illustrate different curve profiles (labeled 0, 1, 2, 3) showing how pad velocity affects output.
• Keyboard Force Curve: Four graphs illustrate different curve profiles (labeled 0, 1, 2, 3) showing how key velocity affects output.

EXIT: Exits the EDIT state without any changes.

ENTER: Exits the EDIT state with the changes saved.
