MidAir 25/37 combines a powerful MIDI controller keyboard with a high-performance wireless linking system. [. . . ] Each time you press one of these buttons, the keyboard will be shifted up or down by one octave (up to four octaves each way). The display will read "d 4", "d 3", "d 2", "d 1", "--0", "U 1", "U 2", "U 3", or "U 4", as you shift from the lowest selection to the highest. To quickly re-center the keyboard, simultaneously press the up and down buttons. Note that shifting the keyboard's range does not affect any transposition you may have set using the sharp and flat keys in Program Mode (see the section titled "Transposing the Keyboard, " below). Using the Program Change Up/Down buttons Program Change up/down buttons can be used to cycle through your MIDI instrument's preset sounds. These buttons step through the instrument's presets one at a time. Note that this is one of the three ways that you can send program change messages from the MidAir keyboard. All three methods are discussed in detail later in this chapter. About Program Mode Pressing the MIDI Select button (8) illuminates the button and places the MidAir keyboard into Program mode. This mode allows you to configure the controller's assignable button, sliders, and knobs; transpose the keyboard; set MIDI transmit channels; and more. The following section first explains the general concept and then gives specific examples. MidAir 25/37 User Guide » 10 Program Mode Overview < The MidAir keyboard has two modes of operation: Program mode and Performance mode. Most of the time, the controller stays in Performance mode so you can play regularly--Program mode is only used when you need to configure various parameters like knob assignments. < Once you have entered Program mode, you can select different parameters to edit by pressing one of the keys on the left half of the keyboard. The function of each key is written directly above the key: < Certain parameters will require you to enter additional information such as MIDI channel or CC numbers. Use the 0-9 keys (on the right hand of the keyboard) to set these values. < If you've entered a number, use the Enter key to confirm the entry. If you've changed your mind, press the Cancel key located to the left of the Enter key to keep the current setting. < Once you are done editing parameters, press the MIDI Select button again to exit Program mode and return to Performance mode. Loading and Saving MidAir Keyboard Presets The MidAir keyboard lets you store 10 presets in memory. This allows you to configure the controller for various scenarios (i. e. , full studio, live performance, portable studio setup, etc. ) for quick recall. Loading presets: Presets can be accessed by pressing the MIDI Select button (8) and using the Octave up/down buttons (5) to step through the memory banks. Once a preset is located, press the MIDI Select button again to load the preset and to return the up/down buttons to their regular function. Saving your own presets: Storing your presets on the MidAir keyboard is easy. Any changes you make to the assignments are automatically saved to the active preset. Make sure to load the preset you would like to modify BEFORE changing controller assignments. Your MidAir keyboard ships with presets that have already been mapped for 10 popular audio applications. A list of these programs and their knob and slider mappings are included in Appendix A. MidAir 25/37 User Guide » 11 Programming the MIDI Controller Knobs The MIDI Controller knobs can be reassigned by doing the following: 1. [. . . ] As a result, and depending on the sound module you use, there may be an offset of -1 between the sent program change number and the recalled sound patch.
