Common (General)
Global MIDI Channel [1...16]
Set this to match the MIDI channel of the application you’re using.
Split Point [C#1...C3]
Sets the keyboard button position in Split mode where the left and right sides of the keyboard change.
MIDI Clock Source [Auto, Internal, External-USB]
Specify this parameter to synchronize the arpeggiator of the nanoKEY Fold with your application.
Auto: When a MIDI clock is input at the USB port, the arpeggiator automatically uses the “External” setting. When no MIDI clock is input, the arpeggiator uses the “Internal” setting.
Internal: The arpeggiator operates at the tempo set by the BPM. Select this setting when you don’t need to synchronize the BPM with your application.
External-USB: The arpeggiator of the nanoKEY Fold synchronizes with the MIDI clock of the computer connected to the USB port.
BPM [20.0...300]
This sets the arpeggiator tempo.
Controllers
Velocity Const Value [1...127]
Specifies the velocity value that’s transmitted when you press a keyboard button.
Touch CC Slider Mode [Jump, Catch]
This sets what happens when the touch slider position does not match the actual parameter value. This is enabled when the touch sliders are operating in touch CC mode.
Jump: When you touch the touch slider, the parameter value jumps to the value corresponding to where you touched. Since this makes it easy to hear the results while editing, we recommend that you use this setting.
Catch: The parameter value does not change when you touch the touch slider, until it matches (or “catches up” to) the value corresponding to where you lift your finger. We recommend that you use this setting when you don’t want the sound to change abruptly, such as during a live performance.
Pitch / Mod Slider Return Speed [Immediate, Fast, Normal, Slow]
Specifies how quickly the pitch bend return after you remove your finger from the touch sliders. “Immediate” is the fastest speed, and “Slow” is the slowest.
Touch KBD Note On Velocity [1...127]
Specifies the velocity of the note messages that are transmitted in Touch Keyboard mode.
Chord Octave Offset [–2...+2]
Adjusts the pitch range played by the keyboard when in Chord mode, in one-octave units.
Power Management (Energy-saving features)
Auto LED Off [Disable, Enable]
Specifies whether the LEDs go dark when no operation is performed for a set period of time. Set this to “Disable” so that the LEDs do not go dark, or to “Enable” so that they go dark. When this is set to “Enable”, the LEDs go dark when no operation is performed for a set period of time, and then turn off when no operation is performed for another set period of time. If the keyboard buttons or other controls are operated, the LEDs light up.
LED Brightness [1...3]
Specifies the maximum brightness of the LEDs. “1” is the minimum brightness, and “3” is the maximum brightness.
LED Illumination [Disable, Enable]
Specifies whether the LEDs light up after a set period of time has passed with no operation performed. Set this to “Enable” so that the LEDs light up, or to “Disable” so that they do not light up. If you operate the keyboard buttons while the LED illumination is active, the nanoKEY Fold returns to its previous condition.
LED Eco Mode [Disable, Enable]
Specifies whether to use the mode that dims the LEDs. Set this to “Enable” so that the LEDs are dimmed, or to “Disable” so that the LEDs light up as usual.
