PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES
Program Change messages instruct Kismet to change memory positions. Refer to page 23. MIDI
control expands Kismet’s memory to 100 positions that can store presets or expression settings.
The original, non-MIDI memory positions can additionally be accessed and saved via MIDI.
PRESET POSITIONS:
When Kismet receives a Program Change message for a position that
contains presets, it will automatically change its settings. All four memory
*LEDs*
will continuously
fade on/off. Pressing the Toggle/Cycle footswitch will set Kismet to ‘Live Settings.’
EXPRESSION CONTROL POSITIONS:
When Kismet receives a Program Change message for
a position that contains expression settings, expression control becomes active. If an expression
pedal is connected directly to Kismet, it will have control of the settings. Some MIDI controllers
have an expression input. For expression control using MIDI, Control Change message 110 must
be sent with a value (0 - 127) based on the position of the expression pedal.
*LEDs*
will continu-
ously move back and forth. The Toggle/Cycle footswitch will exit expression mode and set Kismet
to ‘Live Settings.’
NOTE:
Connecting an expression pedal directly to Kismet (vs. a MIDI controller)
will have a faster response, better resolution, and a more accurate sweep profile.
CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES
Control Change messages can be used to take complete control over Kismet’s settings. Refer to
page 23. Two messages are sent: one with a value that identifies the function, and one that sets
that function to a certain setting. The setting values are 0 (min) to 127 (max).
The save procedure for the expanded MIDI positions is almost identical to the normal, non-MIDI
positions (Fig. 4), except the memory position is set with an attached MIDI controller using a
Program Change message.
SAVING PRESETS WITH MIDI
Compared to the non-MIDI save procedure (Fig. 4), the only difference is setting the position in
STEP 2. The memory position or any of the settings can be set before or during a save.
STEP 1:
Hold the center toggle to the LEFT to begin the save.
STEP 2:
Using an attached MIDI controller, send a Program Change message with the value of
the desired save position. The value can be changed until step 3 saves it.
STEP 3:
Hold the center toggle to the LEFT to complete the save.

SAVING EXPRESSION SETTINGS WITH MIDI
Because MIDI control allows for multiple expression configurations, an additional step to choose
the save position is required. The save is not finalized until the last step, and the memory position
or any of the settings can be set before or during the save.
STEP 1:
Hold the center toggle to the RIGHT to begin the save.
STEP 2:
Using an attached MIDI controller, send a Program Change message with the value of
the desired save position. The value can be changed until step 3 saves it.
STEP 3:
Hold the center toggle to the LEFT to save settings for “heel” or RIGHT for “toe.”
STEP 4:
Repeat procedure to save the other position, “heel” or “toe,” if needed.
