MIDI/Switching Section
This section describes the rear panel components (shown below) which relate to
MIDI and channel switching options.
MIDI Pedal Connection/Operation/Phantom Power
The MIDI "IN" connection on the back panel of the VENDETTA is a 7-Pin MIDI jack. However, a
standard 5 Pin MIDI cable will work.
Plug your MIDI controller (pedal) into the MIDI "IN" on the back of the VENDETTA via standard 5
pin MIDI cable. If you have a MIDI Pedal that can be run via Phantom Power then you will need
to use a 7 pin MIDI cable. With a 7-pin MIDI cable, pins 6 & 7 will supply power to your MIDI
controller. 7-pin MIDI cables are available through your Rocktron dealer.
NOTE: The VENDETTA is programed at the factory to default to Channel 1.
Plugging in a MIDI Controller (Pedal) whether it is a 4-button controller or a Rocktron MIDI Mate,
the Vendetta channels 1-4 will correspond with the MIDI controller buttons 1-4.
VENDETTA Channel 1 - MIDI Controller Button 1
VENDETTA Channel 2 - MIDI Controller Button 2
VENDETTA Channel 3 - MIDI Controller Button 3
VENDETTA Channel 4 - MIDI Controller Button 4
Pressing Button 1 on your MIDI Controller will call up VENDETTA Channel 1 - Pressing button 2
on your MIDI Controller will call up VENDETTA Channel 2....and so on.
You may also change which button controls which channel on the VENDETTA as well. For
example, if you want MIDI Controller Button 2 to turn on VENDETTA channel 1 -first, select button
2 on the MIDI controller. Next scroll through the channels using the "Channel Select" switch on
the front panel of the amplifier until you get to Channel 1. Then, press and hold the Channel
Select switch for two seconds. This will set the Vendetta channel 1 to respond to your MIDI
Controller button 2. Follow the same steps to change other channels or to change back to the
original configuration.
