Kulcsok:
Synido TempoKEY K25 features 25 piano keys spanning two octaves. The corresponding note information from left to right is as shown in the figure:

Jegyzet: Due to different DAW software defining the middle Con the piano roll with varying standards, the transmitted note information may not align perfectly with the display in the DAW software.
The velocity sensitivity has three modes of feedback, as shown in the figure below, with LINEAR being the default mode:

1. NAPLÓ: LOGARITHMIC velocity feedback, suitable for performers who prefer playing with a lighter touch, as it produces higher velocity values with a gentle press.
2. LIN: LINEAR velocity feedback, suitable for most music and performers.
3. EXP: EXPONENTIAL velocity feedback, suitable for performers who prefer playing with more force, as it requires harder strikes to achieve higher velocity values.

The velocity sensitivity applies to both piano keys and pads and can be customized. You can adjust the sensitivity settings directly on the device [hold the master control knob and press any key, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save), or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration to the device. However, please note that the velocity sensitivity for the pads can only be adjusted using the Synido MIDI software.

PADS: 

TempoKEY K25’s pads consist of 8 pads that can send NOTE, CC, and PC information. There are two PAD BANKs available, allowing you to set 16 different parameter configurations. You can adjust these settings directly on the device [press hold the master control knob and press the desired PAD1-PAD8, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration to the device. The pads are backlit with two colors, with BANK A showing white light and BANK B showing orange light.

By default, the pads send NOTE information as shown in the figure:

Gombok: There are 8 customizable step knobs on the Synido TempoKEY K25, which can send CC, PC, and CHN TOUCH [channel aftertouch) messages. These knobs are organized into two KNOB BAN Ks, allowing you to set 16 different parameter configurations. You can set this directly on the device [press and hold the master control knob and rotate to select the desired Kl-KB, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration to the device.

Funkciógombok

1. ARP: This button activates/deactivates the arpeggiator. Pressing ARP and a key on Tempo KEY K25’s keyboard [corresponding to the labeled text above the keys) allows you to input new arpeggiator settings.

• Time DIV: 1/4 note, 1/4 note triplet (1/4 Tl, 1/8 note, 1/8 note triplet (1/8 T), 1/16 note, 1/16 note triplet [1/16 Tl, or 1/32 note or triplet [1/32 T).
• FEL: Notes will be played from the lowest to the highest pitch.
• LE: Notes will be played from the highest to the lowest pitch.
• KIZÁRÁS: The notes will ascend from the lowest to the highest, and then descend again. When the direction changes, the lowest and highest notes will only sound once.
  • BELEÉRTVE: The notes will ascend from the lowest to the highest, and then descend again. When the direction changes, the lowest and highest notes will sound twice.
  • RENDELÉS: Notes will be played in the order they were pressed.
  • RANDS: Notes will be played in the random order.
  • RETESZ: Even if you release your fingers, the arpeggiator will continue arpeggiating the notes. While holding a key, you can add more notes to the arpeggio by pressing other keys. If you press keys, release them, and then press new combinations of notes, the arpeggiator will remember and arpeggiate the new notes.
  • ARP OCT1-OCT4: Controls the octave range of the arpeggiated notes, with OCT1 as the default setting.
  • HINTA: Swing value setting, 50% (off, no swing), 57%, 59%, 61%, 64%.
• TAP TEMPO: Tap this button at the desired rate to determine the arpeggiator and note repeat’s tempo, and the display screen will show the current tempo value. If NOTE REPEAT or Arpeggiator (ARP) functions are active, the LED light below this button will flash at a speed corresponding to the tempo. By continuously tapping the button several times, the device will measure the speed, and the LED light will flash in sync with the user’s tapping speed, indicating that the setting is complete.
• MEGJEGYZÉS MEGismétlés: Press this button to activate or deactivate the NOTE REPEAT mode. In this mode, striking the pads will trigger them again based on the current arpeggia­tor’s speed, timing, and swing settings.
• FIX VELOCITY: This button ignores the actual playing velocity and sends notes at a fixed velocity (default 127). It applies to both the pads and the keyboard. You can set this directly on the device (press and hold the master control knob and press the FULL VELOCITY button, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration. You can choose the affected area: only the pads (PADS), only the keyboard (KEYS), or both the pads and keyboard (PADS & KEYS), and you can change the fixed velocity value.
• GOMBBANK: Switches between the two groups of rotary knob functions. It is distinguished by the backlit color, with BANK A showing white light and BANK B showing orange light.
• PAD BANK: Switches between the two groups of pad functions. It is distinguished by the backlit color, with BANK A showing white light and BANK B showing orange light.

Szállítási gombok
TempoKEY K25 has 6 backlit tape transport control buttons: rewind, fast forward, play/pause, stop, loop, and record. Pressing these buttons can send CC or MMC events. You can set this directly on the device (press and hold the master control knob and press the desired transport button, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration. If the device sends MMC [MIDI Machine Control) events, you need to enable MMC reception in your DAW software to receive and respond to these events. If the device sends CC [Control Change) events, you must configure the mapping in your computer’s DAW software to control the corresponding functions. If you do not assign functions in the host software, the buttons or controls on the device may not be able to perform their intended control actions.

Jegyzet
MMC commands do not include the corresponding functionality for LOOP looping, so the LOOP button will only send CC events. By default, pressing buttons will send CC [Control Change) events. Here is the table showing the default CC events sent by each button:

Transpose Adjustment Buttons:
TempoKEY K25 supports TRANSPOSE for chromatic transposition and OCTAVE for octave adjustment. Use the + and – buttons to change the pitch range of the keyboard. The TRANSPOSE function allows a range of -6 to +6 semitones, and pressing the + and – buttons simultaneously will reset it to zero. The OCTAVE function has an adjustable range of -4 to +4 octaves, and pressing the + and – buttons simultaneously will reset it to the standard octave.

Pitch Bend/Modulation Touch Strip

HANGMAGASSÁG: Pitch Bend function allows you to bend the pitch by touching and sliding your finger up or down on the touch strip, which sends MIDI PITCH BEND information. You have the option to enable or disable the auto-centering feature, and you can adjust the auto-centering time. You can set this directly on the device (press and hold the master control knob and slide the PITCH touch strip, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration.

MODULÁCIÓ: By touching and sliding your finger up or down on the touch strip, you can send continuous controller data CC#D1 information (default) for modulation. Additionally, you have the flexibility to customize and send other CC information as well. You can set this on the device (press and hold the master control knob and slide the MODULATION touch strip, then rotate the knob to adjust the setting, press the knob again to save) or use the Synido MIDI software to set and save the configuration.

FÜGGELÉK

MIDI Event Interpretation

Esemény: MIDI parancs.

Csatorna: A MIDI protokollban 16 csatorna van, és a legtöbb MIDI esemény csatornainformációkat tartalmaz. A felhasználók beállíthatják a fogadó eszközön, hogy csak egy bizonyos csatorna eseményeit hallják. Plample, az A eszköz csak az 1. csatornáról, a B eszköz pedig csak a 2. csatornáról fogad eseményeket. Ezután a küldő eszközön a felhasználó az 1. csatorna eseményeit küldheti az A vezérlőkészüléknek, a 2. csatorna eseményeit pedig a B vezérlőeszköznek.

CC esemény: Vezérlőcsere esemény. A CC esemény a következő információkat tartalmazza: csatornaszám, CC szám és eseményérték. A MIDI protokoll definiál néhány speciális CC számozási funkciót, plample, a CC#7 esemény a fő hangerő, a CC# 64 pedig a zongorapedál esemény; Egyes CC parancsok nem definiált függvények, így a felhasználók tetszés szerint definiálhatják őket. Lásd a függeléket a CC események meghatározásához;
A CC esemény lehet egyetlen parancs: plample, nyomjon meg egy PAD-ot, és küldje el a CC# 64 parancsot 127-es értékkel, és a fogadó eszköz végrehajtja a zongorapedál kinyitását, miután megkapta a parancsot; Folyamatos parancsok is lehetnek, például a gomb elforgatása a CC # 7 események O-tól 127-ig tartó küldéséhez. A parancs vétele után a rendszer a hangerőt a minimumról a maximumra állítja.

PC Event: Program Change event. It is also a kind of control command containing channel information and event numbers. It usually used for voice change.

Pillanatnyi: When a key (button] is pressed, an ON event is sent, and when a key (button] is released, an OFF event is sent; For exampHa egy padot használnak a zongorabillentyűk funkciójának imitálására, a „Note ON” parancsot a pad lenyomásakor, a „Note OFF” parancsot pedig a pad elengedésekor küldi el.

Minimum: Amikor a megnyomás+felengedés teljes művelete befejeződött, a BE és KI események felváltva kerülnek elküldésre; Plample, kapcsolóként használható. Minden alkalommal, amikor megérint egy padot, az felváltva küld parancsokat 127 és 0 értékkel. Ha a 127 értéket ON-ra, az O-t pedig OFF-ra állítja a fogadó oldalon, akkor a vezérlőhatás elérhető.
