28 MOTÖR 61 / MOTÖR 49 MOTÖR 61 / MOTÖR 49 Display Menus PRESET MENU This is the default screen when the keyboard is turned on. It shows the currently-selected preset's number and name, the last sent MIDI event, the octave, current Tempo BPM, time division value, velocity/ aftertouch meter, MIDI or MC mode, and MIDI channel. First press the DATA knob, then turn the knob to scroll through the available (non empty) preset names, then press again to select the desired preset. NOTE: You can only select/scroll through presets, if any user presets have previously been created. To do so, save/copy a preset using the EDIT\PRESETS\ SAVE/COPY PRESET menu. The MOTÖR keyboard comes with 64 memory places for your own user presets with individual naming. You can see a list of all presets in the EDIT menu: EDIT\PRESETS\PRESET OVERVIEW. GLOBAL MENU MIDI 1. MIDI PANIC - use this if your host software is suffering from stuck notes or synchronization issues. 2. GLOBAL CHANNEL - select the global MIDI channel, from 1 to 16. 3. MIDI CLOCK - set the BPM-based features (arpeggiator, note repeat) to run off the internal clock, an external MIDI clock, or an external USB clock. 4. CHANGE CONTROL - this is only active in MIDI mode: Move a desired control such as a fader, encoder, pad, foot control, mod wheel, or transport button, and then change its parameters: MIDI OUT - select from MIDI, USB, or USB+MIDI. MIDI CH - select from 1-16, ALL, GLOBAL CH, or OFF CC NUM - from 0-127 (there will be a warning if this is already in use) SET START VALUE - from 0 to 127 SET END VALUE - from 0 to 127 Note: Continuous controls have CC assignment only, but press/touch elements, such as transport buttons, pads, the sustain switch or the fader touch function, have 2 options, either CTRL CHNG or NOTE MESSAGE with different menu options If you move the Expression Pedal, while in this CHANGE CONTROL menu, you can choose it to send a CC message, or to operate as one of the following: an expression pedal, pitch bend, mod wheel, or volume control. If you press the Sustain Pedal, you can choose it to send a CC message, Note message, or to operate as one of the following: sustain pedal, play/stop, record on/off, Arpeggiator on/off, or Arp Latch. 5. MIDI THRU MODE - select the MIDI MERGE/ THRU port to be THRU or MERGE. 6. USB OUT MODE - select between OUT, THRU, and MERGE operation. 7. TRANSPORT MODE - rotate the DATA knob to select the assignment of the transport buttons from: MMC, MIDI, MMC+MIDI, MIDI Control, or MIDI Note. PADS 1. PAD VELOCITY - select from three pad-velocity options (Soft, Medium, and Hard). 2. FIXED VELOCITY - select the desired fixed velocity fom 0 to 127. 3. AFTER TOUCH SENSITIVITY - select the desired sensitivity from OFF, 1 to 10. Always select OFF if not needed (reduces MIDI traffic). 4. COLOR - Select a pad and then choose from 16 possible backlight colors. Each pad can be a different color. FADERS 1. MOTOR ON/OFF - turns the fader motors on or off. 2. TOUCH ON/OFF - turns the fader touch sensitivity on or off. 3. MOTOR CALIBRATE - starts a routine to calibrate the fader motors, and the faders will slide up and down once. This is the same as when the MOTÖR keyboard is turned on. (It only happens if the MOTÖR keyboard is powered by the supplied power adapter.) 4. MOTOR CONSISTENCY - this concerns smoothness and mechanical noise reduction when controlling the motors. This menu lets you choose between consistency ON or OFF. ENCODERS 1. ACCELERATION - changes the response curve of the encoder output from 0 (no acceleration), to 10 (maximum acceleration applied). 2. LED RING MODE - move an encoder to select it, and then choose from 5 different illumination modes of the LED ring: Single, Pan, Fan, Spread, Trim. Each encoder can have a different LED ring mode. Choose a display mode that suits your use of the encoders, for example you could be using some as trim controls, and some as pan controls. KEYBOARD 1. VELOCITY SENSITIVITY - select from four keyboard sensitivity options (Off, Soft, Medium, and Hard). If OFF is selected, then you can adjust the FIXED VELOCITY from 0 to 127. 2. KEY AFTERTOUCH - select the desired aftertouch sensitivity from OFF, 1 to 10. Always select OFF if not needed (reduces MIDI traffic). The higher the aftertouch number you choose, the more extreme the variations in the aftertouch value as you change the pressure. DEVICE 1. FIRMWARE INFO - displays the current firmware version. 2. LCD CONTRAST - changes the contrast setting of the LCD screen. The display can also be negative (setting 0). 3. POWER SAVING - allows you to switch on the same mode which is standard in USB bus power mode (if no power adapter is connected and power is provided from computer via USB). When ON, it disables fader motors, fader touch, and dims all LEDs and the display. 4. BRIGHTNESS - adjust the LCD backlight and LED brightness. 5. RESET SETTINGS - this will reset all presets and global settings. Caution: Use this carefully as all of your saved presets will be erased and the global settings set to their default factory value. EDIT MENU PRESETS 1. SAVE/COPY PRESET - save the current preset to its current number, or copy to a different number from 1 to 64. 2. DELETE PRESET - delete the current preset. 3. RENAME PRESET - rotate the DATA knob to select letters, then press to move to the next space. Repeat until the title looks good. Press the FWD button to save and exit. 4. PRESET OVERVIEW - lists all 64 preset locations (8 at a time), including "Empty" presets (free memory places). Turn the DATA knob to select, and press the knob to load a desired preset. Note: Empty presets cannot be loaded. 5. SYSEX TX - allows you to send ALL presets or a SINGLE preset to your computer via the USB connection. Use the DATA knob to select YES or NO. 29 Quick Start Guide ARPEGGIATOR This only affects the keyboard, allowing keys that are pressed to be turned into tempo-synchronized sequences. The arpeggiator cycles through the notes being held by the user, in a certain order, based on the Style variable: 1. STYLE 1. UP - notes play from lowest held to highest, no matter what order keys are pressed. 2. DOWN - notes play from highest held to lowest, no matter what order keys are pressed. 3. ORDER - notes play in the order keys were pressed. 4. INCLUDE - notes play from lowest to highest and back down. End notes are re-triggered at the direction change. 5. EXCLUDE - notes play from lowest to highest and back down. End notes are not re-triggered at the direction change. 6. RANDOM - notes play in random order, no matter what order the keys are pressed (may include retriggering of notes). 7. CHORD - All held notes play at the same time (polyphonic). All notes play in a chord, and repeated according to the arpeggiator timing variables. All except CHORD are monophonic sequences. 2. GATE NOTE GATE - select how long notes play by turning the DATA knob. The longer the gate time (shown in musical notation), the longer the notes are held. The display bar also indicates where the different note values (1/16T, 1/8, etc.) are placed. 3. RANGE ARP SEQUENCE RANGE - adjusts the octave range of the arpeggiator notes. Range goes from 0 (only the pressed notes are repeated) to +3 (arpeggio notes go over +3 octaves). 4. SWING ARP SWING AMOUNT - Swing moves the even notes in the sequence by a certain number of milliseconds. Higher values lengthen the interval between odd and even notes, even-toodd intervals are correspondingly shortened. 5. SPLIT ALL - the arpeggiator is applied to the entire keyboard, regardless of any split. RIGHT SIDE ONLY - the arpeggiator is applied to the right hand side of the keyboard split. LEFT SIDE ONLY - the arpeggiator is only applied to the left hand side of the keyboard split. NOTE: RIGHT SIDE ONLY or LEFT SIDE ONLY only operate if the KEYBOARD SPLIT has been set to ON. See the KEYBOARD SPLIT section PAD NOTE REPEAT The pad note repeat function is selected by pressing the REPEAT button next to the pads. It allows you to hold down a pad, and trigger the note output multiple times, as long as the pad remains pressed. This menu allows you to adjust the pad note repeat effects. 1. GATE - the longer the gate time (shown in musical notation), the longer the repeat notes are held. 2. SWING - Swing moves the even notes in the Note Repeat sequence by a certain number of milliseconds. 3. BUTTON BEHAVIOR - toggles the REPEAT button between LATCH and MOMENTARY action. TRANSPOSE This shifts the keyboard note values up or down by semitones. Turn the DATA knob to change the value through a range of ±12 semitones. KEYBOARD SPLIT This splits the keyboard's MIDI output, allowing playback of multiple instruments (such as a bass on the left hand and strings on the right). 1. SPLIT ON/OFF - turns the keyboard split on or off and select the lower octave from -5 to +5. 2. SET UP SPLIT - select the split point of the keyboard by pressing the desired key on the keyboard. Then select the lower MIDI channel from 1 to 16, and select the lower octave fom -5 to +5. NOTE: The upper part uses the GLOBAL MIDI channel. P.CHNG MENU There are 2 options: PAD ASSIGN or SINGLE SEND PAD ASSIGN This menu assigns fixed program change commands to the pads. The following steps are available for each pad (in each PAD BANK): 1. Select PAD - press the PAD you would like to assign a program change command to. 2. MIDI OUT - select from USB+MIDI, MIDI, or USB. 3. MIDI CHAN - select the MIDI channel on which the program change command should be sent. Choose from 1 to 16, ALL, GLOBAL Channel, or OFF. 4. Select TYPE - you can send a simple program change command (PGM CHNG) or a program change in a specific sound bank (BANK+PGM CHNG). 5. Select MSB (if BANK+PGM CHNG had been selected in step 4). 6. Select LSB (if BANK+PGM CHNG had been selected in step 4). 7. Select NUMBER - (Program Change command 0-127). 8. Select FIX if a single specific sound should be sent out, INC or DEC if each pad press should step upwards or downwards in the sound bank. After a program change command has been assigned to a pad using these options, it can be sent as follows: Press the P.CHNG button and press the pad (or the appropriate BANK and then the pad), and the command will be sent. You can also press other pads at this time. Press PRESET, GLOBAL, or EDIT buttons to return the pad to its original operation. SINGLE SEND This allows you to set up a single program change message and send it instantly to an attached DAW or synth. Follow these steps to set up a single send: 1. Select PGM CHNG, or BANK+PGM CHNG. 2. Select MIDI OUT port (USB+MIDI, MIDI, USB). 3. Select MIDI CHANNEL (1-16, ALL, GLOBAL CH, OFF). 4. Select MSB (if BANK+PGM CHNG had been selected in step 1). 5. Select LSB (if BANK+PGM CHNG had been selected in step 1). 6. Select NUMBER (Program Change command 0-127). 7. Press DATA knob to confirm, and press again to send this single program change command. 8. Press P CHNG button to return to the main menu, where you can make settings for an additional single program change to send out. Alternatively press PRESET (or any other MAIN MENU button, apart from P. CHNG) to return to the original pad operation.
