FS1-6M External MIDI Interface 1.0 p 6
MIDI Control
Overview
The MIDI interface takes the place of the pedal, and controls all functions that were
originally controlled by the pedal. No more. No less. In other words, the interface does
not provide any additional control beyond that which the pedal provides.
The interface responds to MIDI Program Change Commands only.
It can be controlled by the Rivera Head Master foot-operated MIDI controller or by any
standard MIDI controller.
Combinations And Separate Functions
Two types of commands are provided - Combinations and Separate Functions.
Combinations
When the interface receives a Combination Command, ALL MIDI controllable values
are changed.
For example on an FS6M Program Change 28 selects:
SlaveMaster
OFF
Chorus ON
Ninja
Boost
ON
FX
OFF
Reverb ON
Channel
1
Separate Functions
Program Change commands for separate functions have also been defined.
Separate functions change ONE value only, leaving all others unchanged.
These commands act as toggles. This means that if a function is turned off, the
command turns it on. If the function is turned on, the command turns it off. Or to put it
differently, repeatedly sending the command causes the function to turn off, on, off...etc.
FS1-6 Compatibility
The FS1, FS2, FS3, FS5-1, FS5-2, FS6-1 and FS6-2 pedals are electrically identical.
This is the reason that the interface can connect to all of them. The only difference
between the various units is the names of the functions. As a convenience to the user,
we have provided a complete set of charts for each pedal type.
