NOTE DISPLAY


Type: Determines whether the LCD will display notes as note values (e.g., C2, F#3, etc.) or note numbers
(e.g., 36, 54, etc.).

KEYBOARD


Curve: The keyboard's velocity curve. The available settings are Linear, EXP1, and EXP2.

Sensitivity: The keyboard's overall velocity sensitivity. The available range is 1-10. At 1, it would take a lot of
force to generate a velocity value of 127. At 10, the opposite is true.

PADS


Pad Threshold: The velocity threshold to trigger the pads. The available range is 0-15. This can help prevent
false triggering or make it easier to trigger the pads.

Velocity Curve: The pads' velocity curve. The available settings are Linear, EXP1, EXP2, Log1, and Log2.

Velocity Sense (Sensitivity): The pads' overall velocity sensitivity. The available range is 1-10. At 1, it would
take a lot of force to generate a velocity value of 127. At 10, the opposite is true.

TEMPO


Tempo: The global tempo as indicated in beats per minute. When MAX49 is using its internal MIDI clock, this
global tempo settings determines the speed of the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, and Note Repeat rate. The
available range is 30 – 300 BPM.

Tap Average: The number of times you would need to press [TAP TEMPO] to enter a new tempo. The
available range is 2-4.

Tempo LED: When MAX49 is using its internal MIDI clock, the [TAP TEMPO] LED will flash in time with the
current tempo setting. You can set this feature to On or Off.

CLOCK


Source: Determines whether MAX49 uses its Internal MIDI clock or refers to an External clock (e.g., from a
DAW).

CV/GATE


CV/Gate Out: This determines how data is sent out of the CV OUT and GATE OUT:

Key/Seq: The data from the keyboard, Arpeggiator, and Sequencer will be sent out. The keyboard will

send out 1V per octave (lowest C = 0V).

Pads: The data from the pads will be sent out, with the notes sent corresponding to the pads' note values

(if a note is assigned).

Common (Channel): When connected via USB, the data sent to MAX49 over the common channel and

port will be sent out. When not connected via USB, the data sent to the MAX49 over the MIDI IN on the
common channel will be sent out.

USB 1A – 16A, 1B – 16B: When connected via USB, the data sent to MAX49 over the selected channel

and port will be sent out. When not connected via USB, the data sent to the MAX49 over the MIDI IN on
the selected channel will be sent out, but Port B will be ignored.

SYSEX


Send Program: The Program to be sent via SysEx. The available options are the individual Program
numbers or ALL (all Programs). Press the VALUE DIAL to send the Program. "PROG: ___ SENT" will appear
to confirm the Program was sent successfully.

UTILITIES


Contrast: The LCD contrast. The available options are 0 to 99.
