Operation
All controls listed in this section are fully assignable to different message types via the Hammer 88 editor
application.
Octave Shift/Transposing
The -/+ buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or down in one octave increments, to extend the range of
playable notes. The + button shifts upward while the - button shifts downward.
Transpose is the secondary function of these two buttons and can be accessed by pressing both buttons
simultaneously, then pressing the + or – button in the direction you would like to transpose. For example, in
this mode, pressing the + button shifts the keyboard upward by one half-step (semitone). As a result, note
F3 becomes F#3. Pressing the – button shifts the keyboard downward by one half-step (F3 becomes E3).
Zone
The keyboard can be divided into 1–4 “zones.” When zones are active, each zone can send its controls’
MIDI messages over its own MIDI channel.
Tip: This feature is great for dividing your Hammer 88 keyboard between different virtual instruments or
synthesizers. For example, you can create two zones, each using a different MIDI channel, and play and
control two virtual instruments simultaneously—one with each half of the keys.
The Zone function specifies which MIDI channel, Key range, and octave/transpostion a Zone will use when
transmitting MIDI data. Assigning each Zone to its own MIDI channel allows you to play up to 4 different
sound programs on a connected synthesizer or virtual instrument.
Assigning a Hammer 88 control to a Zone MIDI channel causes that control to transmit MIDI data on the
same MIDI channel as the corresponding Zone. To set or change the MIDI channel for a keyboard Zone, use
the Hammer 88 editor application.
Assigning Controls to the Omni Channel
The Omni channel is used when assigning controls like pitch bend, sustain, or modulation to control
parameters of multiple zones at the same time. For example, if you have the 2 zones split but would like the
sustain pedal to send the sustain message to both zones, you would assign the sustain pedal to the Omni
channel.
Using the editor software, you can assign controls. You can select one of the standard MIDI channels (01–
16); global MIDI channel (Global), or omni MIDI channel (Omni).
Channel Assign
The Channel Assign function assigns a control on Hammer 88 to a specific MIDI channel. When assigned to
channel "0", the control will transmit on the Global MIDI channel. To assign a wheel, fader, or pedal inputs
to a MIDI channel, use the Hammer 88 editor application.
