Learn Mode summary
In earlier sections of this manual we have described various settings that can be stored using Learn
Mode. Here’s a quick summary of all those settings.
To enter Learn Mode: press and hold the white P
ROGRAM
B
UTTON
located on the rear panel. Hold this
button down until the LED begins to flash slowly. This should take approximately three seconds.
Release the button. The LED will continue to flash slowly, indicating that you’re in Learn Mode. Once
you’re in Learn Mode, the DB-1 Drawbar Controller listens for certain MIDI events and remembers
them. The things that can be learned this way are:
!
MIDI Channel (except for Electro with one DB-1 Drawbar Controller)
!
T

function (except for C1/C2 with one DB-1; see “About the T

” above)

Program Changes for Drawbar Auto-Sync
The things learned in Learn Mode are written to FLASH memory. This memory is retained even when
there’s no power, so you will only need to reprogram things in Learn Mode if your keyboard
configuration changes, or if you decide to move your organ presets around.
To exit Learn Mode: quickly press and release the small white PGM button on the rear panel. The LED
will stop flashing slowly, and will resume flashing only when MIDI is sent or received.
Clear Memory
The things learned in Learn Mode can be un-learned by using the Clear Memory function, which
restores everything to the factory defaults. To perform the Clear Memory function, press and hold the
small white P
ROGRAM
B
UTTON
on the rear panel. After about three seconds it will flash slowly, but
continue to hold it down. After approximately 8 more seconds it will flash quickly. Release the button.
All of the user setup data has now been cleared and the factory defaults have been restored. You will
need to repeat Step 5 to reprogram the MIDI channel.
Rubber Feet
Your DB-1 Drawbar Controller comes with self-adhesive rubber feet. These feet are remarkably grippy
and should help your drawbar controller stay parked where you want it. Peel four of the feet off of the
rubber backing and apply them near the outside corners of the bottom of the drawbar controller
enclosure.
If you find that the 9 volt battery rattles inside the battery compartment, you can use one of the feet to
stop that from happened. Just apply it to the bottom of the battery door and it’ll stop the battery from
moving around.
