Going MIDI-less

9

Finally, if you’re looking to work on programming sounds without the benefit of a MIDI controller or keyboard being available, you can use the Bank/Number buttons on each of these new Boutique models as a built-in keyboard. To do this, simply press the Note button on each, which will then duly decouple the bottom row of buttons from selecting/changing patches and instead allow it to function as a simple, one octave keyboard. You can change the octave value of these notes as well, with steps 14 and 15 on each Boutique, so that you aren’t limited to a one-octave range.
