Keyboard Range Selector
This 4 Octave Keyboard's main purpose is a; for sticky notes so that
patches can be worked on hands free, and b; to animate incoming midi
note data. It is capable of much more than that however:
All Notes OFF (Panic)
- Top Left Button when clicked will trigger a full midi reset.
RETRIGGER -
Second left button retriggers all stuck/playing notes.
OCTAVE -
The left/right arrows transpose the keyboard range although 3 is fine
for most purposes.
KEYS -
Click to play a note, keys are velocity sensitive the bottom
is full velocity.
STICKY MODE
- The top right blue square switches the stuck keys on or off.
SCROLL MODE
- The second blue square
switches Scroll Mode On or Off. When Off clicking a key with the mouse
button held will activate left/right pitch bend and up/down Modulation.
Control Information Display
This displays information when any control is manually moved. The
values are mostly in percentages. The button switches the display off
in case of slow down due to lots of GUI activity.
