If the MIDI software runs, and the MIDI-In and Out port in i2-Control 61 Pro
are selected, the MIDI message will be received when playing the i2-Control
61 Pro keyboard. Also, the soft can send the midi message out to other device

MIDI OUT port with the other sound module or virtual instrument.

Chapter 2：The basic MIDI Controllers
2.1.1 Modulation Wheel
It is very common to use the modulation wheel to change the intensity of
effects: mainly Vibrato (pitch change), Tremolo
(Change the volume), and Modulation (change the tone). The Modulation
wheel produces a vibrato effect shortly after the sound is generated. It is most
effective for voice such as Saxophone Strings and Oboe.
7
Pitch Bend Wheel
The Pitch Bend wheel is used for raising or lowering the pitch of a voice
during performance. The range of pitch values depends on the sound generator
(sound card or module) being used. Please refer to the manuals of your devices
for information on how to change the Pitch Bend range. To bend the pitch up,
please move the wheel away from you. To bend the pitch down, please move
the wheel towards you.
2.1.2 Octave knobs
By pressing the Octave key, you will shift the active keyboard range one
octave higher, or lower. For example, if you want to change the octave 2
octaves down, press Oktave ey twice.
Data Entry slider
The Data Entry slider allows you to adjust the parameters of a MIDI controller.
Use this knob to select different MIDI commands on certain keys from your
keyboard.The i² Control-61 Pro provides several groups of MIDI commands

transpose by 3 semitones: Press the MIDI/SELECT, then the # key, and use
the DATA ENTRY knob (in the display you see 3 for three semitones) then
press the MIDI/SELECT knob again to finish the change.
