S4 Plus Reference Manual 139

Performance Controls via the Quad Knobs

The four Quad Knobs now provide direct access to Controllers A, B, C and D,

respectively, when either Program Play Mode or Mix Play Mode is selected. This

opens up a whole world of performance control possibilities, making the S4 Plus an

even more powerful MIDI master keyboard.

The A–D Controllers are assigned to MIDI controllers numbers in Global Edit Mode,

Page 3. Their default settings are: A = 11, B = 12, C = 91 and D = 93. While in

Program Play Mode or Mix Play Mode, the display will list each Controller directly

under the name of the currently selected Program or Mix. Each of these Controllers is

linked to its respective Quad Knob (i.e., Quad Knob [1] controls A, [2] controls B, and

so forth).

When you call up a Program or Mix, you can instantly tell which (if any) of the four

Controllers are linked to parameters in the selected Program or Mix (or Effect) by

looking to see if there are two arrows appearing on either side of a Controller’s name

in the display (just below the name of the Program or Mix).

Each of the Controllers (A–D) can have an effect on the current Program, Mix and/or

Effect, or they can send out their defined MIDI controller data, or both.

• If any of the four Controllers (A–D) have been used in a program, Mix and/or

Effect (Program/Mix/Effect Edit Mode, Mod Function, Source Parameter), turning

that controller’s Quad Knob will have a predetermined effect on the Program, Mix

and/or Effect.

Example:

If Controller A is selected as an Effect’s Mod Source whose Destination is

“R1 Balance” (reverb 1 balance), turning Quad Knob [1] will have an effect on the

wet/dry mix of the Program’s Reverb Effect.

• In Mix Play Mode, if a Channel’s MIDI Out parameter is turned on (Mix Edit

Mode, Range Function, Page 2, Quad Knob 3) and the Controllers function is

turned on (Range Function, Page 2, Quad Knob 4), turning a Quad Knob while in

Mix Play Mode will cause that Controller to send out MIDI data. Whether this

Controller has any effect depends on the synthesizer or module that is receiving

the message; it must be programmed so that the Controller number is controlling

some parameter of that synthesizer.

Example:

If Controller A is defined as controller 11 (which is its default setting) and

Quad Knob [1] is turned while in Program Play Mode, controller 11 data will be sent

out of the MIDI Out connector.

• It is possible to have each of the Controllers (A–D) effect a different aspect of

each of the 16 different Programs in a Mix, plus the Effects section.

If a Controller (A–D) is used in a Program, arrows will appear on either side of it in the

display to indicate that turning its respective Quad Knob will have some effect on the

Program. If the Program is transmitting on MIDI Out, turning the Quad Knob will

cause that Controller’s defined MIDI controller data to be transmitted to the MIDI Out

connector.

For a detailed list of all MIDI controllers and their definitions, see Appendix B, “MIDI

Supplement”.
