Edit Mode; Midi Functions - Samson Carbon Manuel De L'utilisateur

Edit Mode

Edit Mode is where you can access and adjust the parameters of the Carbon 49 to
suit your needs. To access Edit Mode, press the EDIT button on the top panel of the
keyboard. The button will light red, and the display will read "Set" to indicate that you
are in Edit Mode. In Edit Mode, the first 25 keys on the keyboard become function and
numerical keys, and will not transmit any note data. The last 24 keys will continue to
transmit note information in Edit Mode, so you can see, in real time, how your changes
have affected the performance. The VOLUME fader, PITCH and MODULATION wheels
will also continue to function normally, but their performance data will not be shown
on the display. To exit Edit Mode, and return to Performance Mode, press the EDIT but-
ton a second time. The button will no longer light red once in Performance Mode.

MIDI Functions

PROG (Program Change)
When pressed, the current program number flashes on the display. To change the
program, either rotate the DATA knob, or enter the new program number using the
numerical keys (0–9). You can enter a program number ranging from 0-127. After you
enter the desired program number, press the ENTER key. The Carbon 49 will transmit
the program change, and the display will stop flashing. If the number entered is out
of range, an "-E-" (error) will display for three seconds, and then return to the last set
program number (no information will be transmitted).
CHANNEL (MIDI Channel)
When pressed, the current MIDI channel number flashes on the display. To change
the MIDI channel that the Carbon 49 is transmitting on, either rotate the DATA knob,
or enter the new program number using the numerical keys. You can enter a number
ranging from 1–16. When you reach the desired channel number, press the ENTER key.
The Carbon 49 will be set to transmit on the new channel, and the display will stop
flashing. If the number is out of range, "-E-" (error) will be displayed for three seconds,
and then return to the last set channel number.
