About this Owner’s Manual
Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the
Introduction
chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This chapter
provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP7SE’s control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors, and details
how the components of the instrument’s sound are structured.
The
Main Operation
chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, beginning with
turning zones on and off, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment
using the four control knobs, before examining how reverb, EFX, and amp simulation can all be applied to dramatically change
the character of the selected sound. Next, the MP7SE’s authentic Tonewheel Organ mode is outlined, explaining how to adjust
drawbar positions using zone faders and control knobs, and change the organ’s percussion characteristics. The chapter closes with
an explanation of the instrument’s global EQ and transpose functions.
The
EDIT Menu
chapter (page 38) lists all available INT mode and EXT mode parameters by category for convenient reference. The
STORE Button & SETUP Menus
chapter (page 64) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the entire panel configuration as
a SETUP, then recalling different SETUPs from the MP7SE’s internal memory.
The
Recorder
chapter (page 68) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument’s
internal memory, and also MP3/WAV audio files saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP7SE’s metronome/
drum pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the
USB Menu
chapter (page 99), while the
SYSTEM Menu
chapter (page 105) explains the MP7SE’s system settings and various reset functions.
Finally, the
Appendix
section (page 119) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the
instrument’s internal sounds, drum rhythms, effects, MIDI reference information, and full specification details.
