Step 6. Use the main encoder or the pads to select control change number 10. (p.20) The contents of the sub-display above encoder 1 will also change. Alternatively, you can use the pads to input the control change number.
Step 11. We are back in the page where you select the encoder to assign, but you can also make the setting by directly operating the controller you want to assign. Rotate encoder 1, and notice that both the main display and the encoder 1 display change.
You can use also this method in the MIDI message select page to quickly edit the assignments. You can also change the assignments for two or more encoders at once while watching the sub-displays.
You can use the same method to make assignments for sliders as well.
Step 12. Press the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [] key. The name edit page will appear. Step 13. There are three ways to input a name; you can use the main encoder, the pads, or the encoders or sliders. You can input a name of up to eight characters. For details, see Inputting a name (p.22). When the cursor arrives at the eighth character, the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [] key will light red, and the [ENTER] key will blink. Step 14. When youve nished inputting a name, press [ENTER] to apply the setting. You will then return to Play mode. If you press the [ENTER] key in one of the preceding pages, the settings will be updated to the assignments you made up to that point.

4. Saving a scene

If you dont save your edited controller assignments, your changes will be lost when you select a different scene or turn off the power. Heres how to save your controller assignments in a new scene so you wont have to recreate them later. Use the Scene mode to save your scenes. (p.55) Step 1. Press the [SCENE] key. Step 2. Continue holding down the [SCENE] key, and press pad [16] (assigned to the [WRITE] function) to enter the WRITE page.
If you assign an RPN or NRPN message, the page structure will be different. (p.21) Go ahead and make settings for other controllers as well, to create your scene. For more about assigning other controllers, Setting mode (p.19)
In this example, lets save your new scene in scene 2.

Quick Assign

If you just want to set the control change number for an encoder or slider, heres a simpler way to make the assignment. Hold down the [SETTING] key and operate the encoder or slider you want to assign. The sub-display will change to show the MIDI message you select. When you release the [SETTING] key, the assignment will be updated and you will return to Play mode. If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] key. (p.23)

Step 3. Press pad 2 or use the main encoder to select scene number 2. Step 4. After you have made your selection, press the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [] key to move to the next page.
The page in which you edit the scene name will appear. Step 5. Input a scene name using the main encoder, the pads, or the encoders or sliders. You can input a name of up to eight characters. For details, see Inputting a name (p.22). Step 6. When youve nished inputting the name, press the OCTAVE SHIFT/CURSOR [] key or the [ENTER] key to proceed to the next page.
5. Managing scene sets on your computer
Using the included Editor Librarian software, the twelve scenes stored in the KONTROL49 can be saved on your computer as a set for editing and data management. Data transfer to and from the Editor Librarian software is performed in the Scene mode DUMP page. (p.53) Step 1. Press the [SCENE] key. The main display indicates ScenePd? Step 2. Continue holding down the [SCENE] key, and press pad 14 (assigned to the [DUMP] function). You will enter the DUMP page.
Step 7. This page asks you for conrmation. To save the scene, press the [ENTER] key. When the scene has been saved, the main display will indicate Complete and you will return to Play mode. If you decide to cancel mid-way through the Save procedure, press the [EXIT] key.
Start up the KONTROL49 Editor Librarian software, and press the Receive button to load the scene set from the KONTROL49s memory. Then press the Save button to name the scene set and save it as a le. A le you create in this way can be loaded into the KONTROL49 whenever needed. For details on using the Editor Librarian software, refer to Editor Librarian software manual on the included CD-ROM.

OperationPlay mode

Play mode
In Play mode, you can use the KONTROL49 to control connected MIDI equipment or soft synthesizers and DAW software on your computer. When you power-on the KONTROL49 it will always start up in Play mode. The main display will show the current scene name. Normally, it will start up with the scene that was last selected when you turned off the power.

Using the controllers

In Play mode you can use seven types of controllers.

1. Encoders and sliders

These controllers transmit the assigned message each time you operate them.

Display

When you operate an encoder or slider, its sub-display shows the current value. When you turn on the power, the names assigned to the encoders are displayed. If no MIDI message has been assigned, the display indicates NoAssign.
In this state when you operate the main encoder, pads, vector joystick, pitch bend & mod wheels, switch 1/2, or pedal, the main display will show the MIDI message assigned to that controller and its value. (Using the controllers) The sub-displays will show the name assigned to each encoder. When you operate an encoder or slider, the sub-display will show the values of both controllers. When a certain interval of time elapses after you operate the controller, the display will switch to the name that is assigned to the last-operated controller.

Main encoder settings

Assign a MIDI message to the main encoder. For details, see Setting mode[13] MAIN ENC (Main Encoder assignment) (p.40). Specify the USB-MIDI port on which MIDI messages will be transmitted. For details, see Setting mode[15] USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting) (p.44). By using Message mode [8] Tap, you can set the desired tempo by tapping pad [8] at the corresponding interval. For details, see Message mode[8] TAP (Tap tempo message) (p.51).

8. Keyboard

When you play notes on the keyboard, note messages are transmitted on the keyboards MIDI channel (p.38).
Keyboard-related settings
You can specify the MIDI channel on which note data is transmitted. For details, see Setting mode[12] KEYBOARD (Keyboard setting) (p.38). You can transpose the keyboard in semitone steps. For details, see Setting mode[12] KEYBOARD (Keyboard setting) (p.38). You can change the velocity curve. For details, see Setting mode[12] KEYBOARD (Keyboard setting) (p.38). You can specify the USB-MIDI port from which the note data is transmitted. For details, see Setting mode[15] USB-MIDI PORT (USBMIDI Port setting) (p.44).
