At this point, the user may customize each of the keyboards through drop-down menus. MacIntosh version screens are
similar in appearance and function so are not shown here.
The first thing to do is to click on a keyboard and then, if necessary, click on the MIDI-channel tick box to define to
which MIDI channel that keyboard will be assigned (see above diagram). Then all boxes in the same horizontal row
will apply to that keyboard. For other keyboards in a multi-keyboard system, first click on the appropriate keyboard.
Under Key Offset, select a number that determines if the keyboard pitch is to be transposed up or down in semi-tones.
The range is from –36 to +91 and 0 is normal since Middle-C is MIDI note 36 (24hex)). (Middle-C is keyboard key
number 25, which is actually MIDI key number 24). This function can also be set manually by using pistons and keys.
See 5. Hardware Configurations and Note On/Off (under Piston Functions). However, some keys are used for other
purposes. If you must use such a key, the transposition should be performed in this window instead. Transposition can
be set on/off in the General Settings window (next page).
The Velocity On/Fixed drop-down menu allows for setting of the velocity-sensitive number
from 0 to 127 if ticked, but only if MIDI is activated in that horizontal row. It can be set to a
default value and then un-ticked if desired (unticked is disabled and cannot be adjusted).
Tip: If you highlight a box by clicking on it, you can use the mouse scroll feature to navigate the
contents of the drop-down menu.
