5.1 QUICK START
Normally the MF-2 is right now ready to work. No further settings are neccessary to use it as a standard
MIDI footcontroller:
.1
Depending of the selected mode (bank - direct) you can send out MIDI PROGRAM CHANGES
.2
Each of the 128 programs are equal with MIDI PROGRAM CHANGES 1-128.
Attention: Some midi devices are displaying TRUEMIDI 0-127. For this you have
to know that 0=1, 1=2, ..127=128!
.3
The default MIDI TRANSMIT CHANNEL is 1.
5.2 CONNECT TO THE SWITCHES
The MF-2 is able to remote control up to four non-MIDI units with the internal relays (SWITCHES
1..4). For example: Channelselect, Reverb, Tremolo can be controlled by the MF-2. Each of the
internal relays is not connected to the other nor to the MF-2. This prevents problems with humnoise.
.1
Connect the units with a standard cable to one of the jacks SWITCHES 1..4.
If needed you can use the SWITCHES
1..4 to switch between two sources. For
that you must use a stereo cable. See
the diagram for more information how
to do that:
5.3 CONNECT EXPRESSION PEDALS
Attention: If the MEMORY PROTECT switch is set to "ON", you cannot enter the
EDIT or SETUP mode!
.1
To change data you must set the MEMORY PROTECT switch to "OFF".
.2
Up to four expression pedals can be used with the MF-2, to send MIDI CONTROLLER data
t
o
the connected midi devices.
The function of the MIDI CONTROLLER numbers are listed at the end of this
manual!
(See page 14; chapter 8.8)
5 MODES
You can choose between two different modes to use the MF-2 as a MIDI footcontroller: The BANK mode
or the DIRECT mode.
5.5 BANK MODE
The bank mode should be used to change between programs with a single step on a footswitch 0-9.
.1
Press the MODE key until the DISPLAY shows:
.2
After pressing the "ENTER"
*1
key the BANK MODE is activ.
(
*1
or footswitch!)
.3
Use the footswitches "UP" or "DOWN" to select the banks
0-12.
If one of the footswitches "UP" or "DOWN" is hold for a longer period the bank will be changed
faster.
.4
Press any footswitch 0..9 to select the requested program. After that the MF-2 sends out the
midi information of the selected program.
.5
Each further step on a footswitch 0..9 selects another program and recalls it immediately.
Note: Because there are a limit number of possible MIDI programs 1..128, bank
number 0 and 13 have one program less.
This means program number "0" and "129" are not accessable!
5.6 DIRECT MODE
In this mode you can activate a program by selecting the numbers with the footswitches 0..9 and
activate it by pressing the "UP" or "DOWN" footswitch.
.1
Press the MODE key until the DISPLAY shows:
.2
After pressing the "ENTER" key the DIRECT MODE is activ.
.3
The MF-2 shows the last accessed PROGRAM.
.4
Select the requested PROGRAM numbers with the footswitches 0..9 and activate it with one
of the footswitch "UP" or "DOWN".
BANK / DIRECT
QUICK START
Each further input "moves" the numbers to the left. Impossible
numbers (lower 1, greater 128) are automatically corrected.
If the requested number is achieved, press one of the
footswitches UP/DOWN to send the program. The right digit
flashes until you send out the program!
Each further step of the footswtich UP or DOWN adds or
subtract 1 and sends it out immediately. After PROGRAM 128
PROGRAM 1 will be selected.
If one of the footswitches "UP" or "DOWN" is hold for a longer
period the programs will be changed faster.
If the requested numbers is achieved, press one of the
footswitches UP/DOWN to send the program. The right digit
flashes until you send out the program!

and footswitch 5
