larger preset number, 6Appeal sets to preset 24, which presumably is your clean sound. Also, we
count presets from 1 to 24, even though in MIDI commands the presets are counted from zero.
So, in Program Change command you actually have to send preset minus one number!
The reaction of Appeal to Bank Select is slightly different from MIDI standard, According to
standard, you have to send the following sequence of commands before actual preset change:
Bank Select MSB (CC#0), Bank Select (CC#32) and Program Change. If you send this sequence to
6Appeal, it actually executes every command separately. In fact, it ignores Bank Select MSB
(CC#0) command and you may leave it out. The Bank Select LSB (CC #32) command causes
immediate Bank change and recall of the same preset number as was used in the previous bank.
Now you may recall another preset by Program Change command.
If that is not exactly what you would like to have and you need a kind of “silent” Bank Select, the
workaround is following: make a “silent” preset in every bank by the same preset number.
Before Bank select command, recall the “silent” preset. Then send Bank Select LSB message with
the bank number followed by Program Change message. If you leave out the Bank Select MSB
message, the length of the MIDI sequence actually will be the same a standard.
6Appeal has six customizable Preset Banks available. These are numbered from 1 to 6; the same
numbering is used Bank Select LSB command, too, meaning you should not use number minus
one there. To be honest to the bone, there is Bank 0, but it's reserved for storing default presets.

You can use simple tempo synching for modulations. For this you have to connect 6Appeal’s
MidiIn and external device’s MidiOut, and sync LFO1 to MIDI. Then you can sync other
modulation tempos to LFO1, meaning that LFO1 is the tempo master.

Be aware that Midi Clock messages are so called Real Time Midi Messages and do not have
channel number. In fact, you even do not need to turn on MidiIn to get the MIDI tempo – just
sync the LFO1 to MIDI. If LFO1 is not synced to MIDI, the MIDI real time messages do not affect
6Appeal in any way.

If you want to control 6Appeal from an external MIDI controller, you have to do, at least, the
following:
1. Connect a MIDI cable from your MIDI controller's MidiOut to 6Appeal's MidiIn
2. Set 6Appeal MidiIn channel number (Menu 9, Clock 10), by default it is channel 6
3. Program your controller knobs, sliders, switches etc to send Midi CC and NoteOn
messages according to tables 4 and 5 in the Appendix (
), using the
corresponding MIDI channel number (if not using MidiAll).
Now you should be able to control 6Appeal from your MIDI controller.
