Recalling Patches
Press any Channel switch to load that patch.
Pressing the Bank switch will cycle through the three banks – green-orange-red.
The Channel will be preserved, therefore the corresponding patch within the current
Bank will be loaded when scrolling through the Banks.
Alternatively, patches can be recalled via Blackstar’s INSIDER software or any
connected footcontroller.

MIDI
Silverline Deluxe and Stereo Deluxe amplifiers are able to recall patches via MIDI
Program Change messages and to dynamically modify amplifier values via MIDI
Control Change messages.
To set-up MIDI control, simply connect your MIDI controller’s MIDI Out socket (30)
to the MIDI In socket on the rear of the amplifier.
From new, or after a Factory Reset, the amplifier is set to OMNI mode and responds
to MIDI messages on all MIDI channels.
NOTE:
You may wish to set the amplifier to respond to MIDI messages on just a
single MIDI channel. This can be done using the Blackstar INSIDER software to
specify which of the 16 MIDI channels to use, or to return the amplifier to OMNI
mode.
Recalling Patches
To recall a patch, the MIDI controller should be set to transmit Program Change
messages (this is usually the case for footcontrollers). Changing patches on the MIDI
controller will activate the corresponding patch stored within the amplifier.
Modifying Patch Values
Many patch values (e.g. Gain, Volume, ISF – see MIDI Implementation Chart on
page 100) can be adjusted via MIDI Control Change messages in real-time. The
MIDI controller should be set to send the Control Change messages as defined in
the MIDI Implementation Chart.
