Refer to the MIDI section of this manual for use of the Cluster Flux with 

other MIDI devices.

POWER

 - For connecting to the supplied power adapter 

Note: Use only the proper power supply to avoid damage to the device.  

Make sure your power supply has the correct Input voltage specifications 
for your country: 

•120VAC/60 Hz for the US 
•230VAC/ 50 Hz for Europe

The output of the adapter is +9VDC and the adapter should be capable of 

supplying a minimum of 300mA. The +9VDC is applied to the tip (center) 

of a barrel connector plug w/ 5.5mm outer diameter and 2.1mm inner diameter. 

The barrel (outside) of the plug is the ground (-).

MIDI CONTROL OF THE MF-108M

The following section explains the MIDI implementation of the Cluster Flux. 

For information about what MIDI is and how it works, you can go to the 

following webpage for tutorials: www.midi.org/aboutmidi/tutorials.php

MIDI CHANNEL 

The default MIDI Channel for the MF-108M is Channel one. 

 To change this, press and hold both the Tap Tempo and Bypass switches. 

While holding both, send a MIDI Channel Mode message to the Cluster Flux 
on the desired MIDI Channel. The MIDI LED will flash green indicating 

that the message has been received. The MF-108M will now only receive 
MIDI messages on that channel. The current MIDI Input channel is stored in 
memory on power down. 

Note: MIDI Clock and System Exclusive messages are NOT Channel Mode messages, 

and are received by the Cluster Flux regardless of the current MIDI Input Channel.

MIDI CONTROL CHANGE (CC) MESSAGES 

The settings of the Cluster Flux can be controlled by MIDI Control Change (CC) 

messages. In addition to the front panel controls, there are a number of ad-
vanced features that can be enabled and edited with Control Change messages.

A MIDI CC message has both a CC# from 0 to 127 and a value from 0-127.

The CC values that affect panel controls replace the physical setting of 

the front panel controls. When the corresponding front panel control is 

changed after receiving a MIDI CC message, the value will return to that 

panel control. 

Note- Moving a panel control while receiving MIDI CC messages for that same 

control will result in conflicting values. 

THE FOLLOWING CC MESSAGES CORRESPOND TO PANEL CONTROLS:

CC# 5 

(MSB)/ 

CC#37 

(LSB) Delay Time Portamento. This CC sets the rate
