1. Using the Keyboard with your MIDI software
Start off simply. Once you're plugged in and powered up, go to your sound
module or software application and set the incoming MIDI channel.
If you're using software, you will probably need to configure it to use the Photon
or "USB" device. Look for the MIDI device setup menu in your application and
ensure that the Photon is designated as an active MIDI device before proceeding.
On the Photon, press EDIT PRESET. Then, press the PAGE RIGHT button
to see the Common MIDI setting. This is the channel on which the Photon X 25
will send it's MIDI information. Turn the VALUE/ENTER encoder to change
this setting if needed.
Play the keyboard. Your sound module or software should respond to the Photon
X 25's MIDI data. If not, refer to the troubleshooting instructions later in this
guide.
Experiment with the Photon X 25's OCTAVE buttons and pitch and modulation
wheels. Since the two wheels are mapped to MIDI's standard pitch and
modulation commands, they should work for you in most cases right off the bat.
If one of the supplied template sets matches your MIDI software, lift the plastic
template covers with your fingernail, position the templates, and then replace the
covers.
Press the RECALL PRESET button and turn the clear
cursor knob to reach the program number indicated on
the templates. Press the cursor knob to enter this
program. You should now be able to control the
software according to the templates.
Press the LAYER button to cycle through the three
knob layers. Each layer is independent (though a knob
can be assigned to the same controller value on two or three
of the layers).
