M-Audio Evolution MK-249 [5/12] Program bank change memory

6. PROGRAM & BANK CHANGE MEMORY

You can assign a selected PROGRAM CHANGE as well as a BANK LSB and a BANK MSB to one of ten numeric

keys (0-9). Once stored, simply pressing one of the numeric keys will send the desired PROGRAM and BANK

CHANGES. The stored information is held in non-volatile memory which will remember even if the power is turned

off.

Select the desired PROGRAM CHANGE, BANK LSB and MSB. Please refer to respective chapters for information

on how to do this.

Press the MEMORY switch. The LED starts to flash.

Press the numeric key (from 0 to 9) you wish to assign the data to. The PROGRAM and BANK CHANGE

information is stored on the selected numeric key.

7. Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel

There are 16 MIDI transmit channels available. Once you have set the unit’s MIDI channel, the unit sends all MIDI

messages on this MIDI channel. Be sure to match the channel with the RECEIVE channel of any connected

equipment.

Press the CHANNEL switch. The LED shows the present TRANSMIT channel

Press one (or two) of the numeric keys to change the channel. The LED changes to the pressed number.

You can also use +/- switches to increase or decrease the value.

Note: * if you do nothing after step 3-1 for 3 seconds, the LED will return to show the present PROGRAM

CHANGE number.

The default CHANNEL is 1 when power is turned on.

If you have a

MK-225C/MK-249C/MK-361C

, you can assign each of the rotary controls to a different channel

individually. You can store a single channel for each of the controllers that is independent of the Keyboard channel.

This allows you to transmit control data on multiple channels simultaneously. To do this:

1. Press both 'CONTROL SELECT' buttons and release.

2. The LED display shows the current controller which has been selected.

3. As the LED toggles the display between the new controller and its assignment, presss the CHANNEL

button. A small ‘c’ in the first digit indicates that it is displaying the channel for the selected controller, the

other 2 digits display the current controller channel.

4. Press one (or two) of the numeric keys to change the channel. The LED changes to the pressed

number.

5. You can also use +/- switches to increase or decrease the value.

Note: You can select a new controller by moving any one of the rotary controllers.

If you have one of the new blue LED keyboards you can alternatively use the 'CONTROL ASSIGN' buttons.

When a Controller is assigned a channel of 0 it means that rather than have a single, assigned channel it reads the

current Keyboard channel instead and generates MIDI data on the same channel as notes played on the keyboard.
