1. Select desired sound and map numbers.
2. Select BUILD KEYBOARD MAP.
3. Use PARAMETER VALUE or INC/DEC to select "CL"
(clear).

0 100% scaling. (Default. No change.)
+127 200% scaling.
In case of REVERSE SAMPLE (which is an on/off
switch, not a
value), a zero or a positive value leaves REVERSE
SAMPLE as
it is set for each sample. A negative value
toggles the setting
to opposite of its individual value.
5. When done with global scaling, while any analog
parameter is
selected, you can press EXECUTE to switch decimal
point off.
Note: Until you switch global mode off, affected
patch
parameters will operate globally, rather than on
current sound

MIDI
Modes
Mode 0 Transmits and receives no channel messages, only
System
Exclusive and System Real-time messages.
Mode 1 Transmits on selected channel only. Receives all
messages on any
channel.
Mode 3A Transmits messages exactly like Mode I. Receives same
messages
as Mode 1, except on base channel only.
Mode 3B Transmits/receives left map in selected left MIDI
channel.
Transmits/receives right map in selected right MIDI
channel. All
modulation is recognized in left channel only. Right
channel
ignores MIDI modulation. However, modulation affects
all voices
(just like wheels). Preset number selections
recognized in left
channel only.
Mode 4 All transmission is disabled. Receives only note
events. Channel
number is equal to number of sound to be played.
Mode 1. (Voice Expansion)
Transmits same type of messages as Mode I. In
expansion mode,
no note messages are transmitted until all eight
internal voices
become occupied. Then, instead of internally
"stealing" voices,
needed notes are "requested" over MIDI OUT. Local mod
ulation is
transmitted as usual. Receives any channel. Unless
modulation
receive option is disabled, any received modulations
are always
re-transmitted (echoed).
Mode 3.A Transmits exactly like Mode I Expansion. Receives
base channel,
similarly to Mode 3. Any MIDI received outside of
base channel is
not re-transmitted.
CM2OOOC 13-Il
Mode 3.B Similar to Mode 3B. Notes expanding left map appear
in left
channel. Notes expanding right map appear in right
channel. Local
modulation is transmitted as usual. Unless modulation
receive
option is disabled, only modulations received in base
channel are
re-transmitted. Notes received in left channel play
only left map
of current preset. Notes received in right channel
play only right
map. All modulation is recognized in left channel
only. Right
channel ignores MIDI modulation. However, modulation
affects all
voices (just like wheels). Preset number selections
are recognized
in left channel only.
Mode 4. Similar to Mode 4, with channelized expansion. Only
MIDI IN can
be expanded upon. Receives only note events. Channel
number is
equal to number of sample to be played. Wheels are
disabled.
Channel Sets left or right channels from I - 16.
1. Select MIDI CHANNEL.
2. Use PARAMETER VALUE knob or INC/DEC to select desired
base channel number.
3. To select side being adjusted, press EXECUTE.
Display Meaning
-1 through -16 Base or left MIDI channel.
+1 through +16 Right MIDI channel. (Mode 3B only.)Message
