MIDI In and Out
Connect the MIDI Out to the MIDI In of the System you are
controlling.
Connect the MIDI In to the MIDI Out of the System you are
controlling.
If a computer-based system, this will be connected to the
computer’s MIDI Interface.
If a non-computer based system, you may want to connect the
MIDI In and MIDI Out to a MIDI Patch Bay (Such as the
JLCooper Synapse) to distribute the commands throughout the
system.
(The Synapse is a Assignable MIDI Patch Bay / Processor, with
16 MIDI Inputs and 20 MIDI Outputs.)
Card Slots #1 and #2
Connection of Optional Cards are covered in their own
manual.

Mode: Manually Exiting Special Mode
A host software system, engineered to support the MCS using
Special Mode, will send a command into the MCS, which
switch the unit into Special Mode.
At this point, the MCS is no longer user-programmable.
The user may choose, however, to manually exit the Special
Mode and return to User Assignable mode, without having to
turn the hardware off and on.
This feature is only available if the MCS has already been
switched into Special Mode by an external host system.
Above the first encoder is the word MODE. The encoder is
used select wither User or Host. Selecting User returns the unit
to User Assignable Mode. Selecting Host returns the unit to the
Special Mode.
If the unit has not received any command from a Host system,
since its last power-up, then this feature is not accessible.
Protect
When On, user cannot enter Assign Mode. Display alerts user
memory is protected when attempting to enter Assign Mode.
Dump
Rotate encoder to initiate MIDI System Exclusive bulk data
dump. The data dump takes about 20 seconds.
