options and parameters.
2. [VALUE] (Push to Enter) – This dial is used to increment and decrement Presets, parameter values
and settings. This dial also functions as an [ENTER] button when it is pressed down.
3. [<] AND [>] – These buttons are used for navigate through fields of menus and options. The [<] button
also functions as a [CANCEL] button.
4. [PRESET] – This button calls up Preset Mode. You can select and recall different Preset programs in
this mode.
5. [EDIT] – This button calls up Edit Mode, which allows you to edit the behavior of pads, knobs, faders
and default settings for each preset.
6. [GLOBAL] – This button calls up Global Mode, where MIDI reset commands and global system
preferences are set.
7. [PROGRAM CHANGE] – Pressing this button will enter Program Change mode. In this mode, you can
send a Program Change or Program with Bank Change message to a hardware or software module.
8. [PREVIEW] – This button allows you to see what value will be sent by a controller, without actually
sending the value. This gives you precise control over your parameters and helps avoid erroneous
controller data being sent to your devices due to the physical position of the controller. Holding down
[PREVIEW] allows you to view the original value and adjust the physical position of a fader, for
example, as necessary before transmitting any values.
