Volume Knob
The Volume Knob sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the notes you are playing.
The Volume Knob which is assigned the default Continuous Controller number (MIDI CC) of 7, and it can
also be assigned to different parameters, such as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more. A list
of available MIDI CC numbers can be found in Appendix D, “Standard MIDI CC Numbers” on page 30.
Sustain Button
The Sustain button can be use for sustaining the sound that you are playing, without having to keep your
hands on the keyboard (just like the sustain pedal on a piano). Pressing the Sustain button engages Sustain;
pressing it again disengages Sustain. While the keyboard is in Edit Mode, the Sustain button can be set to ei-
ther Toggle mode, or Gate mode in which it works as a momentary switch.
Edit Button
The Edit button is used to access the advanced Keystation Mini 32 functions located on the keybed.
Pressing the Edit button switches your keyboard into “Edit Mode.” The Edit button turns blue, and you can
use the keys to select various advanced functions and enter data.
Depending on the function, your keyboard will exit Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the CAN-
CEL or ENTER keys are pressed. At this point, the Edit button light will turn off, and the keyboard can be used
for playing notes again.
Refer to you MIDI hardware or software documentation to confirm that it is able to receive MIDI Volume massages.
Refer to “Sustain Mode” on page 21 for more information about Toggle and Gate mode.
Refer to Chapter 4, “Edit Mode” for more information about using the keys in Edit mode.
