Graphite 49 Modes
The Graphite 49 has four main operation modes: Performance Mode, Preset Mode, Setup
Mode and Zone Mode.
Preset Mode - In this mode, you can access the 30 available presets. A preset stores
information on the assignments for the sliders, knobs, and buttons. Using the presets allows
you to quickly load the settings for specific applications without having to reprogram the unit
every time. This mode is activated by pressing the PRESET button. Refer to the section on
Preset Mode (p. 16) for more details.
Setup Mode - In this mode, you can access and assign all of the features of the Graphite 49.
This allows you to customize the settings to match your needs. In addition to the buttons on
the top panel, the first 17 keys on the keyboard are also available to access functions and
enter numerical data. This mode is activated by pressing the SETUP button. Refer to the
section on Setup Mode
(p. 17) for details.
Zone Mode - The keyboard can be divided into several zones, sometimes referred to as layers
or splits. Each zone has its own active key range, program number, MSB and LSB, and
transmit to different channels and ports. There are four zones available. Refer to the section
on Zone Mode
(p. 20) for more details.
Performance Mode - In this mode, the 49 velocity-sensitive keys transmit note and velocity
information via the USB or MIDI output. The assignable controllers, pitch bend and
modulation wheels all transmit continuous controller information. This mode is activated by
pressing the MAIN button. Refer to the section on Performance Mode (p. 22) for details.
