Program Change Increment/Decrement
Using the Hammer 88 editor application, it is possible to configure the Pedal inputs or –/+ buttons to send
an Increment (increase) or Decrement (decrease) Program Change message each time it is pressed. When
one pedal is configured to increment through sound Programs (such as, 1, 2, 3, etc.), and another to
decrement through them (such as, 127, 126, 125, etc.), the second pedal will not decrement from where the
first pedal left off (for example, 2, 1, 0). This is in contrast to the buttons. The + button will only increment
and the – button will only decrement. Pressing + to increment to the value of 127 and then pressing the –
button will decrement the value to 126. Furthermore, pressing the – sends values such as 127, 126, 125,
etc, and will decrement from where the + button left off (for example, 125, 126, 127). When set to Program
Inc/Dec, each of the buttons will light up white briefly when pressed.
MMC
The – and + buttons can be assigned to send a MMC (MIDI Machine Control) message. MMC is a transport
control protocol that is used to remotely control some recording hardware and DAWs. When set to MMC,
the – button will send a Stop message and the + button will send a Play message. The – and + buttons will
be lit red while stopped and green while playing.
Editing Controls Using the Editor Application

Troubleshooting
General
Here are answers to common questions you may have when using your Hammer 88 keyboard:
Problem 1: My M-Audio hardware suddenly stopped working after having performed fine since
installation.
Solution 1: Switch off the unit and let it sit for 10 seconds. Then restart your computer and try again.
Problem 2: I have plugged a sustain pedal into my M-Audio keyboard, but it works opposite as to
what I'm expecting.
Solution 2: The polarity of the sustain pedal is calculated by the keyboard when it is powered on. When
Hammer 88 is powered on, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the OFF position. If you want the sustain
pedal to be off when it is not depressed, make sure the pedal is not depressed when you power on Hammer
88.
Problem 3: When I press a key, there is a delay before I hear any sound.
Solution 3: This delay is known as latency. Latency with MIDI signals is due to the software application you
are using. MIDI data is simply control data. The MIDI data is read by your software. The software then
completes a large number of complex calculations in order to produce the sound you hear—all this takes
time.
We strongly recommend a proper audio interface. Refer to m-audio.com for a selection of options. If you
already have an adequate audio interface, try reinstalling the latest drivers for the audio interface, or try
reducing the buffer sizes of the audio drivers.
