Modulation Button
It is possible to assign other MIDI controls to the Modulation button, such as:
• 01 Modulation
• 07 Volume
• 10 Pan (balance)
• 05 Portamento
There are 131 parameters in total including the 128 standard MIDI Control Change messages (MIDI CC's).
However, for these parameters to have any effect on the sound, the receiving MIDI device or software must be
able to read and respond to these MIDI effect messages. Most devices will at least respond to volume, modu-
lation, and pan data.
The process of assigning an effect to the Modulation button, and reverting to the default setting is explained
below.
To assign an parameter to the Modulation button using the numerical keys on your Keystation Keyboard:
These instructions use the example of assigning the parameter number 131 (Channel Aftertouch) to the Mod-
ulation button, but the concept also applies when assigning other parameters.

Press the “ENTER” key (G, last white key on the right). The Edit button will dim to half brightness indi-
cating that programming is complete.
For a full list of MIDI effects, refer to Appendix D, “Standard MIDI CC Numbers” on page 30.
If you have made an error while entering the numerical data value, you can press the CANCEL key (C, first white key on
the left) to exit Edit Mode without changing the effect assigned to the Modulation button.
The Modulation button assignment is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
