BANK MSB & LSB In order to store more than the 128 patches, devices generally arrange patches into multiple banks. To access the dierent banks, MIDI requires an identier made up of two MIDI messages: Most Signicant Byte (MSB) and Least Signicant Byte (LSB). These two messages, along with a program change command, will allow you to select a bank, and a patch within that bank. Consult your device’s manual for a list of corresponding MSB’s and LSB’s related to dierent banks.

To set the BANK MSB or BANK LSB, press the corresponding function key, and the current MSB or LSB will ash on the display. Rotate the DATA knob or type in the desired MSB or LSB number, and press ENTER. You can input numbers ranging from 0-127. The Carbon 61 will transmit the new MSB or LSB to your device. If the number is out of range, “-E-” (error) will ash on the screen for three seconds, and then return to the last set number. Note: To recall a new patch, a bank change must be followed by a program change.

Assigning Controllers

VELOCITY CURVE The velocity curve is how the keyboard interprets the speed with which a particular key is pressed, and the relative MIDI velocity number it transmits. The Carbon 61 has four dierent curves you can utilize (1–4, described below). To change the velocity curve, press the key assigned to VELOCITY CURVE. The current selection will ash on the display. Rotate the DATA knob or use the numerical keys to select the desired curve. Press the ENTER key to conrm the selection, and the keyboard will be set to the new velocity curve. It you choose a number out of range, “-E-” (error) will ash on the display for three seconds, and then return to the last set velocity number.
