SETTING PatchMate USING MIDI PROGRAM CHANGES
Now that you have configured your PatchMate LOOP 8 MIDI CHANNEL to the same channel as your
midi controller along with enabling PROGRAM CHANGES ON, you are now ready to program your
presets.
Make sure you have exited the MIDI CONFIGURATION PROGRAMMING MODE before using your
PatchMate LOOP 8 with a Midi Controller.
1. Connect your Midi Controllers MIDI OUT to the PatchMate LOOP 8’s MIDI IN using a 5 PIN MIDI
cord.
2. RECALL the desired preset you want to edit using your MIDI CONTROLLER.
3. Set the RELAY STATES using the front panel buttons.
4. Press STORE and release.
The PatchMate LOOP 8 will respond by blinking the STORE BUTTON one (1) time.
REPEAT STEPS 2-4 for all presets..... That’s it!
SMART LOOP CONTROLLERS
The PatchMate LOOP 8 includes ROCKTRON’s exclusive Smart Controller Technology which allows
the PatchMate LOOP 8 to receive Latching or Momentary controller messages then applying user pro-
grammed release delay times.
This feature provides the user the ability to control Amplifiers that use momentary pulses to switch
channels using latching or momentary midi continuous controller messages with a pre determined delay
applied to the switch release. This delay value is determined by the reception of the on state value.
If the values received were
127 = ON
0 = OFF
The relay operation will be executed immediately when received….. No delay will be applied….
However if the value for the on state is anything else other than 127 the following delay to release will
be calculated using the following equation
[ ON VALUE * 2] * 1 millisecond
So if the value for on was 125 then the time the relay would be on for would become
[ 125 * 2 ] * 1 ms = 250 ms or about a Quarter of a Second.
