Knob 2
[ Turn] Knob# (Knob Number)
Selects the knob (2 — 5) to be set up for control change
transmission via Knobs 3 — 5, below (Knobs 3 — 5 set
the control change number, MIDI channel, etc. for the
Knob# selected here).
[Range] 2 — 5
Knob 3
[ Turn] Device
This value assigns the knob's controller function (control-
ler number).
[Range] 000 — 120
• Keep in mind that the MIDI standard defines specific
uses for certain controller numbers.
[ Press] MIDI
When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly
set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external
MIDI device. See page 82.
Knob 4
[ Turn] Control Type
This value sets the selected knob's control sensitivity —
the amount by which the control value changes per incre-
ment of knob rotation. Set to on for minimum sensitivity,
or to Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3 for greater sensitivity
(where Step 3 gives the highest sensitivity).
Set the value to off if you want to disable use of the
selected knob as a controller.
[Range] off, on, Step1 — 3
Knob 5
[ Turn] MIDI Channel
Specifies the MIDI channel via which the control change
data generated by the knob will be transmitted. When
"AUDITION" is selected, the control change data will only
affect the sound produced when the [AUDITION] button is
pressed.
When "Bch" is selected, the same channel as that set as
the MIDI Basic Channel (page 89) will be used.

• In order for the generated control change data to
affect samples played by the A5000/A4000, the
transmission MIDI channel must be set to match the
channel set for the sample(s) to be controlled.
[ Press] MIDI
When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly
set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external
MIDI device. See page 82.
• When setting the MIDI channel via MIDI on the
A5000, receive the appropriate MIDI messages via
the MIDI IN-A connector to set channels A01 — A16,
and via the MIDI IN-B connector to set channels B01
— B16.

Function Key Play Setup

[UTILITY] Button [F2] Button
"UTIL-FKeySet"
The 6 function buttons of the A5000/A4000 can be used as a
"mini keyboard" to play notes on the sampler itself as well as
transmit corresponding MIDI note-on data. The FUNCTION
KEY PLAY SETUP parameters can be used to specify the
MIDI channel, note number (pitch), and velocity for each
function button.
To use the function buttons in this way the ASSIGNABLE
Key Function parameter (UTILITY-SYSTEM-KeysSet: page
197) must be set to "Fkey Play on/off." The function keys can
then be used to play the specified notes when the [ASSIGN-
ABLE] button is engaged (its indicator will light). The Func-
tion Key Play feature will not work, however, during
recording or when certain other displays are selected.
