Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

Keyboard and Basic Controls:

  • Iuchraichean: The 32 mini keys are velocity-sensitive, meaning the volume or intensity of the sound changes based on how hard you press them.
  • Cuibhle na Pàirce: Bend the pitch of notes up or down.
  • Cuibhle atharrachaidh: Typically used to add vibrato or other modulation effects.
  • Slider Volume: Adjusts the overall MIDI volume output.
  • Octave Buttons (OCT+ / OCT-): Press to shift the keyboard's octave range up or down.
  • Transpose Buttons (TRANS+ / TRANS-): Press to shift the keyboard's pitch in semitone increments.

Encoders Rotary:

The four rotary encoders (labeled 1-4) are assignable and can be used to control various parameters within your music software. Consult your software's MIDI mapping features to assign these encoders to desired functions (e.g., filter cutoff, resonance, effect sends).

Drum pads:

  • The eight velocity-sensitive drum pads can be used to trigger drum sounds, samples, or other MIDI notes.
  • A|B Button: Press this button to switch between two banks of drum pads, effectively giving you access to 16 different pads.
  • PAD BEAT Button: Activates a metronome function with six time settings. It also allows switching between NOTE, CC (Control Change), and PC (Program Change) modes for the pads, enabling them to send different types of MIDI messages.

Feartan adhartach:

  • Arpeggiator (ARP Button): Activates the built-in arpeggiator. Further settings for arpeggio patterns and tempo synchronization are typically adjusted by holding the ARP button and pressing specific keys or using the rotary encoders.
  • Scale Play Styles (SCALE Button): Allows you to select from six different scale types, ensuring that only notes within the chosen scale are played, simplifying melodic creation.
  • Chord Mode (CHORD Button): Enables playing full chords by pressing a single key. The minicontrol supports various chord patterns including major, minor, seventh, and minor seventh chords.
  • Velocity Curves (SET Button + Keys): The minicontrol offers three velocity curves: Norm (Normal), Heavy, and Soft. These can be selected by holding the SET button and pressing a corresponding key (refer to the device's labels for specific key assignments). This allows you to customize the keyboard's response to your playing dynamics.
  • Sustain Jack: Connect a standard sustain pedal (not included) to this jack for sustain functionality, mimicking a piano's sustain pedal.
