Programming Keyboard Functions
The following chart lists the functions manually settable using only the piston pushbuttons and keyboard key-switches.
Table 9: Programming Functions
Name Steps Function
1. SOFT REBOOT
Simultaneously press the first piston
from the left (SET) and last piston on
the right (CANCEL).
Performs a soft reboot. This will restart the keyboard and reload
configuration data from the on-board EEPROM.
2. SET MIDI
CHANNEL(S)
ACTIVE
Hold the first piston from the left (SET)
and momentarily press the first black
key from the left (C#1). While still
holding SET, momentarily press one or
more of the first 16 white keys from the
left (C1 to D3). Afterwards, release the
SET piston.
Sets the output MIDI channels for the keyboard. For example, if
we configure the keyboard to transmit on channels 1, 3 and 5,
then all MIDI events originating from that keyboard will produce
MIDI messages on these three channels. C1 for Channel-1, E1
for Channel-3, G1 for Channel-5, etc.
3. SET MIDI
CHANNEL(S)
INACTIVE
Hold first piston from the left (SET)
and momentarily press the second black
key from the left (D#1). Afterwards,
release the SET piston.
Clears all output MIDI channels for the keyboard. You cannot
clear just one but must clear all and start again as above.
You can change just one by using the configuration software.
4. SET DEFAULT
VELOCITY
(if keyboard is presently
in the non-velocity
mode)
Hold the first piston from the left (SET)
and momentarily press the third black
key from the left (F#1). Then
momentarily press any one of the 36
white keys and release the SET piston.
Repeating the above will set the next
active MIDI channel that has velocity-
sensing turned Off.
Selects the default velocity for the lowest-numbered active MIDI
channel with velocity-sensing set Off. Uses the white keys to
select a velocity level between 0 (bass end: softest) and 127
(treble end: loudest). Keys pressed in between will produce a
velocity level between 0 and 127 proportional to the location of
the key relative to the extremes. The change in velocity level
between adjacent white keys is approximately 3.
Note that if multiple keys are pressed, only the last one released
will be registered by the software.
5. SET VELOCITY
SENSING OFF
Hold the first piston from the left (SET)
and momentarily press the fourth black
key from the left (G#1) to turn off
velocity sensing. Afterwards, release the
SET piston.
The MIDI Channel with the lowest
active number will be set to velocity-
sensing Off and will use the default
velocity value.
Velocity sensing produces a different volume level corresponding
to the speed with which a key is pressed. To conform to
traditional organ consoles which are not velocity sensitive, the
CMK-2 permits users to disable velocity-sensing in the keyboard.
6. SET VELOCITY
SENSING ON
Hold first piston from the left (SET)
and momentarily press the fifth black
key from the left (A#1) to turn on
velocity sensing. Afterwards, release the
SET piston.
The MIDI Channel with the lowest
active number that is presently in the
Velocity-sensing Off mode will be set to
velocity-sensing On.
Velocity sensing produces a different volume level corresponding
to the speed with which a key is pressed. To conform to
traditional organ consoles which are not velocity sensitive, the
CMK-2 permits users to disable velocity-sensing in the keyboard.
