Drawbar On/Off (F1)
The Drawbar function reverses the value output of the 9 faders from the default 0-127 to 127-0. This can also be achieved
by reversing the min/max values of a control when you program Data 1 and Data 2. However if you don’t want to change the
reversal permanently in your preset, this function is ideal and here is how to activate it:
 Press F1 to show the current drawbar status. The display will read either {On} or {OFF}. Off is default.
 Press F1 again to change the status.
The change is immediate so to try out the next setting just press [Setup] to exit the Setup menu.
Save Presets and Pad Maps (F#1)
When you make assignment changes to a control or pad, the changes are stored in a current working memory area and the
settings are also stored over power cycling.
However if you change preset or pad map your settings will be lost because the loaded data will overwrite your programmed
changes. If you don’t want to lose your work we recommend saving as soon as you have created your setup. Here is how to
do that:
Save a Preset
 Press F#1 to activate the Save menu. The display will read {SAu} (yeah, that’s supposed to be a v)
 Select the Preset you want to save to, using the keys with the -/+ symbols screened above (C3/C#3).
 You can also enter a specific preset number (1-5) using the white number keys spanning G3–D4 (G4-D5 on LX61).
 Press Enter (C5) to save to the selected Preset location (applicable for both selection methods)
Save a Pad Map
 Press F#1 to activate the save menu. The display will read {SAu} (yeah, that’s supposed to be a v)
 Press [Shift] and the pad corresponding to the pad map you want to save your pad settings to (1-4)
 Press Enter (C5) to save to the selected pad map location
Load a Preset (G1)
We explained earlier how you can use the Octave and Transpose buttons to select presets. Here is an alternative option for
loading presets so you don’t have to change your button functions.
 Press G1 to activate the Load menu. The display will read {Lod} (better than Loa, right?)
 Select the Preset you want to load using the keys with the -/+ symbols screened above (C3/C#3). Presets are loaded
instantly as you step through them.
 You can also enter a specific preset number (1-5) using the white number keys spanning G3–D4 (G4-D5 on LX61). Press
Enter (C5) to load the selected Preset location (only applicable when loading using the number entry option)
