Carbon 61 · USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller
Basic Operation
VOLUME Fader
The VOLUME fader sends MIDI information to control the performance of the device that is
connected to the keyboard. The factory setting is channel volume, but can be assigned to
another parameter in Edit Mode. Refer to the section Edit Mode (p.14) for details.
DATA Knob
The DATA knob sends MIDI information to control the performance of the device that is
connected to the keyboard. The factory setting is pan control, but can be assigned to another
parameter in Edit Mode. Refer to the section Edit Mode (p.14) for details.
PITCH BEND Wheel
The PITCH BEND wheel is used to bend notes played on the keyboard by raising or lowering
the pitch. The response and range of this controller is based on the patch or sound source
that is being controlled. The pitch bend wheel is spring-mounted and will return to the
center position when it is released.
SUSTAIN Pedal Input
You can connect a momentary footswitch or damper pedal to the rear panel SUSTAIN Pedal
input. The default setting for the pedal input is sustain (CC #64). You can assign another
function to the pedal input in Edit Mode. Refer to the section Edit Mode (p.14) for details.
When the keyboard is powered on, it will detect the polarity of a connected pedal. To reverse
the pedal's polarity, press the pedal when powering on the keyboard.
