Johnson Amplification J-STATION - Manual (Page 36)

Foot Controller Options
The J-Station can be remotely controlled using the optional J3 Footswitch, J8 Foot Controller, or any MIDI
controller.The J3 is a three button Footswitch which will Bank up, Bank down, and select Presets.The J8 is a
full function foot controller with 6 switches and an expression pedal.The J8 will change Presets, and turn on
and off the Modulation and Pitch Shifting Effects, Delay, and Reverb. The J8 displays the active Preset number,
and provides access to the Tuner as well as Tuning indicators.The J8’s expression pedal controls any assigna-
ble Parameter including Volume and Wah.The J8 connects to the J8/MIDI In jack on the rear panel of the J-
Station, and is phantom powered from the J-Station.A switch on the rear panel of the J-Station next to the
J8/MIDI In jack is used to select whether the jack will be used with the J8 and provide the phantom power,
or as a MIDI input.The J-Station requires that the J8’s Expression Pedal be calibrated in order to function
correctly.The following steps outline the procedure to Calibrate the Pedal:
1.Turn the J-Station’s Power switch to the off position.
2. Press and hold the Tuner/Utility button while turning the J-Station’s Power switch on.The J-Station’s
Display will read CA (abbreviation for Calibrate).The Display on the J8 will show the software version fol-
lowed by Pb (abbreviation for Pedal back).
3. Rock the Expression Pedal back to the toe up position, and press any footswitch.The J8 Display now reads
PF (abbreviation for Pedal forward).
4. Rock the Expression Pedal fully forward to the toe down position and press any footswitch.
This completes the Pedal Calibration procedure. If an error occurs during the Calibration, the J8 Display will
read Er followed by Pb and the Calibration procedure must be repeated.
Editor/Librarian
The flexibility of the J-Station by itself is impressive. However, the possibilities are virtually endless when you
install the power of the PC Editor/Librarian software into your PC, and combine that with the J-Station.
Simply connect the MIDI out from your computer to the MIDI In on the J-Station. Connect from the MIDI
Out on the J-Station to your computer’s MIDI In.Then insert the CD ROM which came with your J-Station,
into the CD ROM drive on your Windows PC. If the J-Station setup window does not appear on your moni-
tor automatically, just select Run from your start menu, click on Run, and double click on the Setup.exe file in
your CD ROM drive.The Editor/Librarian software is intuitive and includes help menus to answer any ques-
tions, as well as guide you through programming and controlling the J-Station.
