USING THE MIDI INTERFACE
When you turn on the synthesiser for the first time, you will be in omni-off mode channel 1 for receive - See the
following pages for other factory default settings. When you select a receive channel, this will be stored in memory
and will be remembered for when you subsequently turn on the synth - all parameters listed on the next page are
stored.
If you want to put the machine back to the factory default settings at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding the
red push button pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
RED PUSH BUTTON
Two modes are available by pushing the red push button during normal playing mode. Before you press the red
button however, make sure that no keys are pressed on the remote MIDI keyboard otherwise the results may be
unpredictable. The key presses can be entered only from the remote MIDI keyboard.
1) SET-UP MODE
For setting MIDI channels and assignments. Give the red push button a short press (half a second) - then release.
Follow this with a key press or sequence of key presses as detailed on page 2. After making a MIDI channel
assignment, you will be automatically returned to playing mode but after making other assignments you will need to
press the ENTER key (Top C) to return to playing mode; this is to enable you to make the multiple key presses
required when re-assigning Sources to Destinations. (N.B. all set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).
2) TRANSPOSE MODE
Press and hold the red push button for about four seconds - then release. Middle C will sound on the CS-70M and
continue to sound until you press a key on the remote keyboard. The key that you press on the remote keyboard will
be the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can set any value up to two octaves up or down - settings outside this range
will be ignored (where middle C = no transposition) . Note that transpose mode cannot be entered from set-up
mode. The transpose setting will be stored in non volatile memory).
