MIDI CHANNELS
In order to communicate program change information, the MIDI Moose and the receiving MIDI
unit(s) must be on the same channel.You need not change the MIDI Moose channel if your receiv-
ing unit is on OMNI. (OMNI mode receives MIDI program change information on any of the 16
selectable MIDI channels.)
The MIDI Moose is factory set at Channel 1. When you initially power up, “1c” will flash in
the numerical display for a few seconds. If you want to change the MIDI channel on certain occa-
sions but not save the change, hit the UP or DOWN footswitch accordingly while the channel setting is flash-
ing.The MIDI Moose will then operate on the new channel until you disconnect and reboot. If the channel set-
ting stops flashing before you have a chance to change it, disconnect the power source for at least 10 seconds.
Reconnect the power source and continue as above. NOTE: the MIDI Moose will revert back to the last saved
channel each time you power up.
To change and save a different MIDI channel setting:
1. Depress the UP and DOWN footswitches simultaneously.The current MIDI channel number will
flash (1c).
2. Use the UP or DOWN footswitch accordingly to get to the desired channel.
3. Depress the 1/6 footswitch to save the newly selected MIDI channel.When saved, the
numerical display will stop flashing. After a few seconds, the MIDI Moose will display the last
program number you were in.
If you have two or more MIDI controlled processors linked together, be sure they and the MIDI
Moose are all on the same channel. If you do not want a particular processor in the chain to
accept program change information from the MIDI Moose, be sure to change that unit’s channel.
PHANTOM POWER OPERATION VIA MIDI CABLE
The MIDI Moose will accept power via a standard 5 conductor/
pin MIDI cable through Pins 1 and 3. Consult the owner’s manual
of your processor for its phantom power support capabilities
and specifications.
NOTE: Power must be between 8 and 15V DC, any polarity.
