INSTANT ACCESS

(Changes to any program from 01 to 99 with the touch of 2 buttons)

The Instant mode allows the user to instantly change presets with the

touch of two buttons. First be sure the INSTANT LED is lit, and the 2ND
LED is off. Now press any combination of two buttons to change to the
corresponding program. For example, by pressing button 0 and then button
1, the MIDI Mate™ will transmit program change 1. By pressing the 9 button
twice, the MIDI program change 99 will be sent, and so on. The bank "

á

"

and "

â

" function works in the Instant mode the same as it works in the Bank

mode, thereby allowing access to presets 100 thru 128 while in the Instant
mode.
