NOTES

1) Controller X can be any MIDI controller.
After pressing the red push button twice to enter SET-UP mode,
operate the required MIDI controller before pressing the C or
Db key that will assign it to VCF or ***.
If you do not operate a controller before pressing the C or
Db key, then controller X will respond to MIDI controller
16 - that is General purpose controller 1 (10 hexadecimal)

2) Controller Y can be any MIDI controller.
After pressing the red push button twice to enter SET-UP mode,
operate the required MIDI controller before pressing the A or
Bb key that will assign it to VCF or ***.
If you do not operate a controller before pressing the A or
Bb key, then controller Y will respond to MIDI controller
17 - that is General purpose controller 2 (11 hexadecimal)

3) Controller X/Y will take priority over other control messages,
so if controller X/Y is the mod wheel, mod wheel messages will
operate whatever controller X/Y is currently assigned to,
instead of operating modulation.

4) Transmit/Receive channel and omni-on setting will return you
directly to playing mode, all other keys will let you stay in
SET-UP mode until you press the ENTER key (Top C)

5) The ENTER key (Top C) also resets all controllers to their
default values - off in most cases - on for volume - centre
for pitch bender.

6) After pressing the red push button twice to enter set-up mode,
the first assignment that you make for any given source (after-
touch for example) will cancel all other destinations currently
assigned to that source - if you want to make multiple assign-
ments, you will have to do this in the same set-up session, in
other words, before you press top C.
- For example - irrespective of what aftertouch was previously
assigned to, pressing F (and release) will assign it to VCF only
- to make aftertouch also bend pitch, you will have to press E
( and release) before pressing the top C which will ENTER the
information and store it in n.v. memory.
OTHER SET-UPS WILL REMAIN UNALTERED UNLESS SPECIFICALLY CHANGED
