While this page is on display, Knobs 2 to 5 function as MIDI controllers. The push indi-
cators blink to identify the active controller knobs.
You use the KnobSet page to select the control function (controller number) and Trans-
mit channel for each of the knobs you want to use. (☞292)
FYI
You can also use the ASSIGNABLE key to activate knob-control mode. To do this, you
must first set the key’s function to “Knob Control.” (Go to the Keys page in the UTILITY
| SYSTEM function (☞300)). Once you have set this up, you can enter knob-control
mode while working at almost any screen by depressing the ASSIGNABLE key.
