Setting the MIDI-channel
The MIDI-channel is set by using a learn-function. The
MIDI
-button activates the
learn mode (LED lit red) while the sequencer is being stopped. Next, press any
note on the desired MIDI-channel using a connected MIDI-keyboard. The LED
will turn off and the MIDI-channel is set.
MIDI velocity
The reception of velocity-data can be enabled or disabled. Press the
MIDI
-button
(LED lit red). Next, use function-button
1
to enable or disable the reception of
velocity-data (LED lit/unlit).
MIDI CC
The reception of MIDI controller-data (see list at the end of this manual) can be
enabled or disabled. To do so, press the
MIDI
-button (LED lid red). Next, use
function-button
2
to toggle between active (LED lit) and inactive states (LED off).
MIDI-clock / External synchronization
The MFB-501 Pro’s sequencer can be switched to use an external MIDI-clock or
an analog click instead of its internal clock-reference. To activate external
synchronization, press the
MIDI
-button (LED lit red). Use function-button
3
to
switch synchronization to MIDI-clock (LED lit green). Use function-button
4
to
toggle synchronization to analog clock (LED lit green). With external
synchronization being enabled respectively disabled, the LEDs will turn off and the
selected mode becomes active. The three options are mutually exclusive.
The analog clock’s sync input is a TRS-jack (3.5 mm) which carries the clock on
its tip while the ring-contact receives start/stop commands.
Sound-reset via MIDI
The use of MIDI controllers will change the sound settings with a lasting effect. To
return to the stored state, first press the
MIDI
-button followed by shortly pressing
function-button
5
.
Hint:
The MFB-501 Pro offers a dedicated drum kit suited for dynamic editing of
sound parameters. This kit is located at MIDI-note #72 and above. The drum kits
being triggered by lower MIDI-notes already use certain pre-adjusted fixed MIDI
controllers internally.
