Touchpad
• Touch Mode: Sets the Global Touch Mode for the touchpad. See the “Touchpad - Touch
Modes” section for more info.
• Touch ModW Out: Enables / disables the touchpad Y+ axis from transmitting MIDI
Modulation Wheel messages (MIDI CC 1) to the MIDI outputs. You may want to disable
this behaviour if the COBALT5S is connected to other synthesisers that responds to MIDI
Modulation Wheel messages.
• Touch PB Out: Enables / disables the touchpad X axes from transmitting MIDI Pitch
Bend messages to the MIDI outputs if using a pitch bend Touch Mode. You may want to
disable this behaviour if the COBALT5S is connected to other synthesisers that responds
to MIDI Pitch Bend messages. Please note that if this is disabled the X axes will instead
transmit CC messages.
• Touch Expr Out: Enables / disables the touchpad Z axis / pressure from transmitting
MIDI Expression messages (MIDI CC 11) to the MIDI outputs. You may want to disable
this behaviour if the COBALT5S is connected to other synthesisers that responds to MIDI
Expression messages.
• Touch Z Sensitivity: Sets the sensitivity mode of the Z axis, or how hard you need to
press to generate Z values. There are three main modes here (Light, Medium, Heavy)
where each mode has two sub modes (1-2). ‘Light’ only requires a small amount of
pressure to start sending Z value, ‘Heavy’ requires a large amount of pressure and
‘Medium’ requiring something in between. The sub mode then determines the ‘depth’
of the usable pressure range - ‘1’ provides a ‘shallow’ depth meaning you don’t have
to apply as much pressure to reach the maximum Z value, whereas ‘2’ provides a ‘deep’
depth which provides you with a greater pressure range to play with.
• Touch Z Locking: Enables / disables the touchpad Z axis / pressure value from ‘locking’ to
the highest value when using the touchpad ‘Lock’ performance parameter.
LEDs:
• Brightness: Sets the brightness of the panel LEDs.
