SH 075 MIDI Guitar Converter Owners Manual v.1 SHADOW ELECTRONICS
POLY MODE
(LED 6 Off)
In MIDI Poly mode, all strings are assigned to MIDI channel 1. Chords can be played
(multiple notes at the same time) but MIDI restricts pitch bend (see Pitch Bend ON).
Pitch Bend OFF
(LED 7 Off)
When Pitch Bend is OFF, any strings that are bent will cause chromatic pitch shifts
(semitone steps). As each string is bent to the next semitone, the note will re-trigger.
Bends of less than one semitone will have no effect.
Pitch Bend On
(LED 7 On)
In POLY MODE with Pitch Bend On, you can play ONE note and follow a string bend
exactly (as long as the pitch bend range on the synth is set to the same range). MIDI
can only support one pitch bend command per channel, so if more than one string is
bent while in POLY mode, SH 075 will NOT send a Pitch Bend command. If you want to
bend more than one note at a time, use MONO Mode.
"Page 2" Functions
Pressing both the MIDI ON/OFF (10) and MODE Selector (9) keys simultaneously
enters SH 075 "Page 2" extended functions. All 3 LEDs will flash while SH 075 waits for
additional key commands.

PITCH BEND RANGE
The default pitch bend range is 8 semitones. To set to 4 semitones: From Page 2 (all
LEDs flashing), press the MIDI ON/OFF key (10) again. The lights will stop flashing
and the converter is now set to 4 semitone pitch bend range. NOTE: Your synth must be
set to the same Bend Range as SH 075.
TRANSPOSING
SH 075 can transpose MIDI notes sent up or down 3 octaves. From Page 2 (all LEDs
flashing), set transposition by pressing;
