APPENDIX A
PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
For both programming examples, the X-15 MIDI OUT must be
connected to the effect device MIDI IN. The MIDI channel
on the MIDI device must be the same channel the
X-15
will
be sending messages on, or the receiving device’s OMNI
mode must be ON.
Edit
Controlled
Device's
MIDI
Program
Table (MPT)
with
the X-15:
When used with a keyboard or other device receiving MIDI
PROGRAM CHANGE messages, MPT editing may be simplified.
Use this method of editing by selecting the desired patch on
the
X-15
and assigning the MIDI device’s MPT for the desired
preset.
-
Set up the MIDI device you wish to control for MPT editing.
*If you are using this device with any ART product enter the
MIDI Utility Mode and scroll to the screen showing the [MIDI
PROG =
]
on the top, and [PRESET = -
]
on the bottom of
the LCD. Make sure the cursor (-) is on the PRESET line.
-
Select a patch on the X-15 so that 01 is displayed. (Select
BANK 1 and press the 1/6 pad)
*With any ART product, use the encoder knob or value UP/
DOWN keys to select the preset you want when selecting
patch 1 on the X-15
-
Select another patch with the X-15.
-
Adjust the MIDI device accordingly.
*Continue to program the X-15’s patches in this manner
assigning the MIDI devices preset
#'s
to the X-15’s patch
numbers.

MIDI
Control
of
the
Pitch Parameter ol the
Pitch
Transposer
To control the pitch parameter via MIDI in any of the above
ART products you first must setup the effects device to be
controlled by MIDI messages. In the effects device:
-
Create or choose a preset with the Pitch Transposer.
-
Add a MIDI Controller to the preset.
-
Set the controller to control
PTr:PITCH
-
Set the controller for MC 4: FOOT CTLR
*This corresponds to the default setting of the
X-15
left
expression pedal. MIDI controller #4 FOOT CONTROLLER.
-
Set the scale to (-)14.
-
Set the PITCH = (-)6
-
Store the preset.
By setting up a preset like this, you will be able to imitate a
whammy bar, detuning your signal from zero pitch deflection
when the pedal is up, to an octave down when the pedal is
down. To decrease the range of pitch shift, make the scale
smaller.
You may control any MIDI controlled parameter with the
X-15. Use the above example as a reference substituting
other parameters to be controlled. For more information,
refer to programming examples in the the effects devices
manuals.
Using
the
X-15
to Turn On or Off
Effects
In a
Preset
Using
Effect Mode and
Activator
Pads
You can use the
X-15
activator pads in Effect Mode to turn
certain individual effects on and off in an effects device’s
preset. With any programmable ART product this is easy,
simply add MIDI Control to the preset and assign it to the
effect “Type”, i.e.,
DST:
TYPE = TURBO-DIST 2. Use the
suggested scaling settings found in Appendix D.
The key to turning the effect on and off is to toggle between
the effect “type” and the OFF setting for that effect.
This example will show you how to set up a preset in an
SGE MACH II turning Distortion and Chorus on and off. To
make the example easier, copy preset # 91 “TURBO CHORUS”
to blank preset #120.
-
after you have copied the preset remain in EDIT MODE.
-
add
two
MIDI Controls (press ADD EFFECT eight times,
don’t forget to press ENTER).
-
Press the STORE button as a precaution.
-
Press the Select Left button eight times.
-
Use the Value Up button to select DISTORTION 2.
-
Press the Select Right button once.
-
Use the Value Down button to select MIDI Controller 72.
*We are choosing this controller number because it is the
default setting number for the #3 activator pad labeled
Distortion on the X-15.
-
Press the Select Right button twice.
-
Use the Value Down button to select TYPE = OFF.
-
Press the Store button.
-
Press the Select Left button once.
-
Use the Value Down Button to set the SCALE to (+) 23.
*Now, each time you press the #3 pad the TYPE will toggle
between DISTORTION 2 and OFF turning the effect on and off.
-
Press the Select Right button twice.
-
Use the Value Up button to select TYPE = PRE.
-
Press the Select Right button once.
-
Use the Value Down button to select MIDI Controller 78.
*We are choosing this controller number because it is the
default setting number for the #9 activator pad labeled
FLANGER/CHORUS on the X-15.
-
Press the Select Right button twice.
-
Use the Value Down button to select TYPE = OFF.
-
Press the Store button.
-
Press the Select Left button once.
-
Use the Value Down Button to set the SCALE to (+) 10.
*Now, each time you press the #9 pad the TYPE will toggle
between PRE and OFF turning the effect on and off.
-
Press the Select Right button twice.
Press the STORE button to save all parameters.
