MIDI PEDALBOARD
As a frame of reference, Note 60 is Middle C on the piano; a piano has a range of Note
21 (lowest A) to Note 108 (highest C); and a typical 5 - octave synthesizer has a range
of Note 36 (lowest C) to 96 (highest C). Depending on the MIDI device connected to
your MIDI PEDALBOARD, some octaves may not play, or may give unusual results.
CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT:
Depress and release the CH. MIDI footswitch and the current MIDI Channel will be
diplayed by the Binary LEDS for 3 seconds. During this period of time, assign a new
channel by playng the appropriate pedal according to the following chart:
Upon new channel selection, the display immediately returns to the current OCTAVE
setting. You will not see the new channel assignment displayed until the CH. MIDI
footswhitch is depressed once more. Note also that, in this case, the sum of the
numers indicated by the illuminated LEDs is allways one less than the actual MIDI
Channel assigned. This is because in the digital MIDI code itself, what we think of as
Channels 1 - 16 is represented by the numbers 0 - 15.
PROGRAM ASSIGNMENT:
MIDI Program Change numbers from 00 - 99 (or 1 - 100, if your connected MIDI
device starts counting at Program 1) may be sent in ascending or descending order on
the currently selected MIDI Channel by depressing the appropriate PRESET button. At
turn-on, your MIDI PEDALBOARD loads 00 (Program 1) into its buffer. By depressing
PRESET first, 01 ( Program 2) will be sent; depressing PRESET first sends 99 (Program
100). You may continue in either direction, and each depression of a PRESET button
will increment or decrement the last number sent. Thus to send a higher numbered
program, you will need to depress the PRESET button several times, and "count up" to
it. (If the program number you want is between 51 and 100, you can use the PRESET
button and "count down" instead.) There is no indicator for the currently selected
program; refer to the display on the connected MIDI device to confirm your selection.
