Evolution MK-425C/MK-449C/MK461C Getting Started

Once you have familiarized yourself with the Evolution keyboard presets you may want to

save and reorganize the order to suit your setup.

Before we start, please note that the factory presets are stored in ROM within the

keyboard and can therefore be restored at any time.

Lets move preset 10 “XG/GS preset” to location 03 by carrying out the

following procedure:

1. Press the function button (7) “Recall”.

2. Type “10” on the numerical keypad (3).

3. Press the function button (6) “Store”.

4. Type “03” on the numerical keypad (3).

This will save or store the current setup to preset location 03.

If you want to reset the MK-425C/449C/461C back to the factory defaults, just hold down

the ‘+/-’ buttons on the numerical keypad while switching the keyboard on.

Note: Restoring the Factory presets will erase all setups stored to memory.

You can also organise your presets using the Evolution Librarian Software (PC only,

please check www.evolution.co.uk for Mac version) included with your Evolution key-

board. Insert the Evolution CD-ROM in to your computer’s CD-ROM drive and run the

installer.

Now that you have learnt how to use the factory presets, its time to look at how to pro-

gram and modify your own basic setups.

We will use the B4 again for the purpose of this exercise.

1. Launch the B4 and make sure its receiving data from your keyboard.

4. On the MK-425C/449C/461C, press the function button (6) “Recall”.

5. Type “02” on the numerical keypad (3).

This selects the preset for the B4.

6. Move the modulation wheel (2).

While moving the modulation wheel, the display shows the positional value. When

you stop moving the wheel, after a short delay the display shows the controller

number in small digits and 01 in large digits. This tells you that the modulation

wheel currently is assigned to controller number 001.

7. Press the function button (6) “ CONTROL ASSIGN”.

8. Type “011” on the numerical keypad (3).

If you now move the wheel you should see the display show modulation wheels

controller number in the left hand corner and 11 in large digits.

Moving the modulation wheel should now control the B4’s Swell parameter.
