MIDI THRU:
This 5-PIN standard DIN Connector passes MIDI information on through to other devices that recognize MIDI
commands from the adjacent MIDI IN connector. Always use the shortest length possible when connecting other/more devices.
MIDI IN:
This Input accepts a standard 5-Pin MIDI cable, and via MIDI program change messages, enables you to accom-
modate aligning your preamp sounds with the 16 instantly accessible Internal sounds loaded into the two BANKS of 8 IR PRESETS.
The CCIR does not support MIDI mapping, so you will need to build the rest of your MIDI presets around the CabClone IR PRESETS.
Alternatively, if your rig is already all programmed up and several other MIDI devices are involved with presets correctly mapped, you
can connect your computer to the CabClone IR via standard USB and drag the IRs of your choosing, be they the Factory PRESETS
or third-Party IRs, into the desired locations among the PRESETS. The CabClone responds to MIDI program change messages in
the fashion listed below.
Midi Program 001 = CabClone IR Bank A Preset 1
Midi Program 002 = CabClone IR Bank A Preset 2
Midi Program 003 = CabClone IR Bank A Preset 3
Midi Program 004 = CabClone IR Bank A Preset 4
Etc., Etc, through CCIR Preset 8 = Midi Program 8.
This pattern of 8 continues, beginning at Midi Program location 009 calling up CCIR Bank B Preset 1 and concludes calling up CCIR
Bank B Preset 8 at Midi Program 016. The cycle then repeats, starting with CCIR Bank A Preset 1 at Midi Program 017.
This “mapping” in CCIR Preset Groups of 8, or lack thereof in terms of actual “MIDI mapping”, will leave a 2-position/MPL offset in
each Midi Bank when compared to the MIDI spec Banks (in keyboards and standard Controllers) that are comprised of 10 locations.
…Except for the last/highest Bank in the MIDI spec, which ends at 128 (it can also be Program 127 if the first MIDI program location
used on your controller is 000 instead of 001).
As you can see, the higher up you go in MIDI banks, the greater the offset between standard MIDI spec locations (grouped in 10 loca-
tions per MIDI bank) and the CCIR PRESET locations (grouped in 8 locations per PRESET “BANK“ that repeat) will be. So depending
on how elaborate your MIDI setup is, it may be easier/faster to just load (via the USB/Computer) the IRs you want into the best CCIR
PRESET Locations within the two BANKS (A&B) of instantly accessible IRs, for your setup/performance needs.
The Midi Channel is permanently set to OMNI, so the CabClone IR will respond to Program Change messages on any/all of the 16
MIDI channels.
POWER: 18VDC/1 AMP:
This is the DC Power Receptacle port for the supplied 18-Volt/1 Amp Wall Adapter that powers the
CabClone IR. Connect the Wall Adapter’s barrel plug into this receptacle to supply power to the unit. Make sure it is seated all the way
and making a firm connection. Never modify the supplied Adapter’s cable in any way. Doing so will void your Warranty and possibly
cause damage to your CabClone IR.
USB:
This standard USB port accepts a 2.0 A to B cable (not included) and is provided for managing the IR File Directory. Con-
nect this port to the USB port on your computer to view and manipulate the IR Files by dragging and dropping them in or out of the
PRESET locations. The CabClone IR will appear as MESA IR on your computer much like a USB Flash Drive. Each IR PRESET
has its own File Folder within the CabClone IR. Don’t forget to eject the CabClone IR just as you would a Flash Drive when you are
done manipulating the IRs. As mentioned, the CabClone has a storage Library for holding additional IRs. Depending on the size of
the IR Files you want to store, potentially hundreds can be held within the CabClone IR’s memory. However, only 16 can be loaded
into the two BANKS of 8 accessible PRESET locations for instant recall.
