MIDI Mate™ Manual
The editing features of the MIDI Mate™ are designed to be helpful
by incorporating scrolling messages and requiring the least number of buttons
to press as possible. The MIDI Mate™ automatically stores the choices that
the user makes to make it easier for the user to edit parameters. The STORE
button does not store the choices in the editing mode - it has no function in the
editing mode. The parameters which can be edited include: titles, MIDI
channels, assignable controller numbers and additional patch changes. The
MIDI Mate™ incorporates a unique editing feature using the EDIT PRESET
SELECT buttons. These buttons allow the user to change the preset that is
being edited without leaving the editing mode.
Anytime that the 2ND LED is lit, the EDIT PRESET SELECT buttons
will increment ("
á
") or decrement ("
â
") the current preset by one. These
buttons may also be held down to scroll through the presets. This feature
allows the user to enter the edit mode, do all the editing necessary for all the
presets, then exit the edit mode with the least number of buttons pressed. The
editing is divided into four sections - "Titles", "MIDI Channels", "Controller
Assignment" and "Program Changes" - and can be accessed while in any
access mode. The editing functions are accessible by pressing the EDIT
FUNCTION SELECT "
ß
" and "
à
" buttons. The editing parameters can be
adjusted by using the BANK (ADJUST) "
á
" and "
â
" buttons.
The editing mode may be initiated in any of the access modes by
pressing the 2ND button so that the 2ND LED is lit. Then press the EDIT
FUNCTION SELECT "
à
" button. "Title Edit" will scroll across the dis-
play. If the EDIT FUNCTION SELECT "
à
" button is pressed a second time
before the scrolling is complete, "MIDI Channels" will scroll across the
display. If the EDIT FUNCTION SELECT "
à
" button is pressed a third
time before the scrolling is complete, "Controller Assignment" will scroll
across the display. And if the EDIT FUNCTION SELECT "
à
" button is
pressed a fourth time before the scrolling is complete, "Programmable
Patch Changes" will scroll across the display, thereby completing the cycle
of all four editing sections.
