User instructions for Kenton MIDI retrofit for
MEMORYMOOG
These instructions are only for Memorymoog MIDI retrofit kits produced after 1
st
June 2006
Firmware MEMM5100 or later.
N.B. Different instructions apply to earlier Kenton Memorymoog MIDI retrofit kits.
USING THE MIDI INTERFACE
When you turn on the synthesizer for the first time, you will be in omni-off mode channel 1 for receive and also
channel 1 for transmit - See the following pages for other factory default settings. When you select a transmit or
receive channel, this will be stored in memory and will be remembered for when you subsequently turn on the
synth - all parameters listed on the next page are stored.
If you want to put the machine back to the factory default settings at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding the
red push button pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
RED PUSH BUTTON
Three modes are available by pushing the red push button during normal playing mode. Before you press the red
button however, make sure that no keys are pressed on either the Memorymoog or the remote MIDI keyboard
otherwise the results may be unpredictable. The key presses can be entered on the Memorymoog’s own keyboard,
or from the remote MIDI keyboard.
1) PROGRAM CHANGE MODE
For sending program changes from the keyboard. Press the red push button once only (short press
– then
release). Any key then selects a program change which it sends through the MIDI Out. When the key is released,
you are then automatically returned to playing mode. For example a short press on the red push button followed by
bottom C will send program change #0 whereas top C will send #60. (Nothing is stored in non-volatile memory after
this operation)
2) SET-UP MODE
For setting MIDI channels and assignments. Give the red push button two short presses (half a second each) -
then release. Follow this with a key or sequence of keys as detailed on page 2. After making a MIDI channel
assignment, you will be automatically returned to playing mode but after making other assignments you will need to
press the ENTER key (Top C) to return to playing mode. This is to enable you to make the multiple key presses
required when re-assigning Sources to Destinations. (N.B. all set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).
3) TRANSPOSE MODE
Press and hold the red push button for about four seconds - then release. Middle C will sound on the synth and
continue to sound until you press a key. The key that you press will be the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can set
any value up to two octaves up or down - settings outside this range will be ignored. Both MIDI in and MIDI out will
be transposed by the same value. Note that transpose mode cannot be entered from set-up mode. (N.B. the
transposition will be stored in non volatile memory).
