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.

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

to the X-15’s patch

MIDI

Control

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

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.
