Knob 2 [ Turn] Knob# (Knob Number) Selects the knob (2 - 5) to be set up for control change transmission via Knobs 3 - 5, below (Knobs 3 - 5 set the control change number, MIDI channel, etc. for the Knob# selected here). [Range] 2 - 5 Knob 3 [ Turn] Device This value assigns the knob's controller function (controller number). [Range] 000 - 120 • Keep in mind that the MIDI standard defines specific uses for certain controller numbers. [ Press] MIDI When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external MIDI device. See page 82. Knob 4 [ Turn] Control Type This value sets the selected knob's control sensitivity - the amount by which the control value changes per increment of knob rotation. Set to on for minimum sensitivity, or to Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3 for greater sensitivity (where Step 3 gives the highest sensitivity). Set the value to off if you want to disable use of the selected knob as a controller. [Range] off, on, Step1 - 3 Knob 5 [ Turn] MIDI Channel Specifies the MIDI channel via which the control change data generated by the knob will be transmitted. When "AUDITION" is selected, the control change data will only affect the sound produced when the [AUDITION] button is pressed. When "Bch" is selected, the same channel as that set as the MIDI Basic Channel (page 89) will be used. [Range] AUDITION, A01 - B16 (01 - 16 on the A4000), Bch • In order for the generated control change data to affect samples played by the A5000/A4000, the transmission MIDI channel must be set to match the channel set for the sample(s) to be controlled. [ Press] MIDI When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external MIDI device. See page 82. • When setting the MIDI channel via MIDI on the A5000, receive the appropriate MIDI messages via the MIDI IN-A connector to set channels A01 - A16, and via the MIDI IN-B connector to set channels B01 - B16. Function Key Play Setup [UTILITY] Button → [F2] Button → Knob 1 to select "UTIL-FKeySet" The 6 function buttons of the A5000/A4000 can be used as a "mini keyboard" to play notes on the sampler itself as well as transmit corresponding MIDI note-on data. The FUNCTION KEY PLAY SETUP parameters can be used to specify the MIDI channel, note number (pitch), and velocity for each function button. To use the function buttons in this way the ASSIGNABLE Key Function parameter (UTILITY-SYSTEM-KeysSet: page 197) must be set to "Fkey Play on/off." The function keys can then be used to play the specified notes when the [ASSIGNABLE] button is engaged (its indicator will light). The Function Key Play feature will not work, however, during recording or when certain other displays are selected.
