Channel
The selected value in the Channel menu determines the MIDI channel for the selected Key Zone.
• Values range from 1 to 16.
• Value 1 is always set by default.
Color
The Color setting defines which color should be used in the Light Guide (the LEDs above the keys
on your keyboard) for the selected Key Zone:
• Red, Orange, Light Orange, Warm Yellow, Yellow, Lime, Green, Mint, Turquoise, Cyan, Blue,
Plum, Violet, Purple, Magenta, and Fuchsia.

The Transpose knob lowers or raises MIDI notes of a Key Zone.

9.8.5. Assignments for the Touch Strip
For the Touch Strip, the Type menu offers the entries Control Change and Pitchbend. Depending
on the selected entry, a different set of additional parameters is available:
Type Range Number Strength
Control Change From 0-126/To 1-127 0-127
Pitchbend 0-100%
Selecting a Type also changes the behavior of Touch Strip. When Control Change
is selected, the Touch Strip can be used like a fader that retains its position even af-
ter you have removed your finger. When Pitchbend is selected, the Touch Strip be-
haves like a spring that returns to zero position after you have removed your finger.
For Control Change, you can set the Range of values that is sent when swiping the Touch Strip,
and the Number of the Control Change message. For Pitchbend, you can set the Strength of the
Touch Strip’s spring behavior. As you increase this value, the Touch Strip returns to the zero posi-
tion more quickly.
The configuration of the Touch Strips and the Pedals are saved globally and not per
Template. This means all settings made under TOUCHSTRIP and PEDALS remain
the same when switching between Templates.
