The M1 can be controlled via standard MIDI messages. Simply connect your MIDI controller to the 
M1 MIDI “IN”. Downstream MIDI devices can be connected to the MIDI “THRU” which simply lets all 
incoming MIDI messages pass through to your other devices. The M1 ships with the MIDI channel set 
to 1 by default. 

   o 

To Change the MIDI device channel

       1.  Hold down both stomp switches at power-up until the Red preset led starts flashing, then  
           release both switches.      
       2. Now send a MIDI Program Change message on the desired MIDI channel for the pedal.
       3. The pedal will save that MIDI channel and only respond to messages on that channel until the  
           user changes it again. 
   o 

MIDI In

 – Connect upstream MIDI devices or your MIDI controller to the M1 MIDI “IN”.

   o 

MIDI Thru 

– Connect downstream MIDI devices to the M1 MIDI “THRU”.

   o 

MIDI Clock

 - The M1 accepts MIDI clock and sets its modulation time anytime it sees a change in  

      MIDI clock tempo. MIDI clock, when sent, will override the tempo set with the Time knob or Tap  
      switch. You can, however, tap a new tempo after the tempo has been set with MIDI clock. It’s  
      a good practice to limit your MIDI clock to only send a few clock pulses at a time since the M1  
      will quickly lock in the tempo. 
   o 

MIDI PC

 – Presets on the M1 are able to be recalled via MIDI program change messages. To recall  

      a preset, simply send a program change message corresponding to the desired preset to be  
      recalled on the M1 MIDI channel. See the table on the next page for a list of M1 presets and how  
      they map to program change messages.
