Meaning

Settings

uP

Micro Processor

ON or OFF

Determines whether the Mute System is ON or OFF.When OFF, the entire Mute
Scene system is disabled, only the Local mutes will operate.This setting can be used
if "Traditional" console operation is desired (i.e. No programmed scenes are want-
ed).

M Ch

MIDI Channel

01 to 16

Sets the MIDI channel that the Controller uses to communicate to the MIDI world.
The Mute Controller can send and receive MIDI Program changes, MIDI dumps etc.
It does so on this channel.

Lock

Edit Lock

OFF or ON

If set to ON, prevents any changes to be made to any Mute Scene. If Edit Preview is
pressed when LOCK is ON, "Lock" is displayed and the system will not enter Edit
Mode.

Dmp?

MIDI Dump

When activated, the contents of all the Mute Scenes are transmitted via the MIDI
Out jack using SysEx protocol. A librarian or archiving MIDI program can be used to
store the Mute settings externally. Note: Loading of external data via SysEx com-
mand is always active.

Base

MIDI Base

01 or 00

There are 128 possible MIDI numbers. Do you want to start counting at 01 and
count up to 128, or start at 00 and count up to 127 ? Different MIDI devices do it
either way.You get to choose.

Ext

External Ctrl

OFF or ON

Normally, the Mute System uses its internal Mute Scenes to control the Console
mutes. Alternately, MIDI Note Commands can be used to control the channel mutes
directly.When Ext is ON, the Display(B) will show "Ext", and the normal Mute
Scenes will be disabled.The Controller will now respond only to externally received
Note On/Off commands (via MIDI In jack).

Pgm

Program Chg

ON or OFF

The Mute Controller normally sends a MIDI Program change command every time
the RECALL (I) button is pressed, corresponding to the Patch number shown in the
Display. Also, if a MIDI Pgm Chg is received, the Controller will respond by recalling
the Patch Mute matching that Pgm Chng. Setting Pgm to OFF disables the sending
and receiving of MIDI Pgm Changes.
