6. Uputstvo za upotrebu

6.1 Playing the Keyboard

The 49 mini keys are velocity-sensitive, meaning the volume or intensity of a note can vary based on how hard you press the key. Experiment with different playing dynamics to achieve expressive performances.

6.2 Octave and Transpose Functions

• Oktava dugmad: Use the dedicated Octave Up and Octave Down buttons (located near the pitch/mod strips) to shift the keyboard's range up or down in full octaves.
• Transponirana funkcija: The Octave buttons can also function as Transpose buttons when combined with the SHIFT key. Press and hold the SHIFT button, then use the Octave Up/Down buttons to transpose the keyboard by semitones.

6.3 Pitch Bend and Modulation

• Pitch Touch Strip: Slide your finger along this strip to bend the pitch of notes up or down. The pitch returns to center when released.
• Modulation Touch Strip: Slide your finger along this strip to apply modulation effects, such as vibrato or tremolo, to your sound. The specific effect depends on your software or hardware instrument's settings.

6.4 Assignable Knobs (T1-T4)

The four rotary knobs (T1-T4) send MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages. By default, these may control common parameters like volume or pan in your DAW. You can reassign these knobs to control specific parameters within your software instruments or effects.

• Consult your DAW or software instrument's manual for instructions on how to MIDI-learn or assign CC messages to parameters.
• The X4 mini also allows for on-the-fly reassignment of the CC messages sent by these knobs. Refer to the "Advanced Features" section for details.
