INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sound Sculpture MidiUp. This professional MIDI controller
system gives you new flexibility in your ability to control any MIDI effect that responds to MIDI Control
Change commands. The MidiUp is simple to use, flexible and solves a variety of problems encountered by
electric musicians. With the MidiUp you can transmit MIDI Controller information in two ways:
1. By using a user installed pot inside the guitar or
2. By attaching a standard volume pedal.
The MidiUp can transmit a MIDI Controller Numbers in the range of 0-15 over any of the first 8 MIDI
channels. The number and channel to transmit are selected by sending a Program Change from any MIDI
foot controller to the MidiUp over it’s own channel.
The MidiUp is also a MIDI merger. This means any MIDI information being transmitted from an attached
foot controller will pass directly through the MidiUp with no interference. If the pedal happens to transmit
at the same time that the MidiUp is transmitting, the two data streams will be seamlessly merged before
passing the data on to your effects. No additional MIDI splitter is necessary.
Several MidiUps can be used together. By connecting the MIDI output of one MidiUp to the MIDI input
of the next, you can have as many controllers as you like. One can be connected to the guitar over the
stereo cord and the others are connected to volume pedals. Or if you chose all units can be connected to
volume pedals.
When used with a pot inside your guitar, modifications must be made inside your guitar that should be
simple enough for anyone who is handy with a soldering iron, or can be made at your favorite guitar repair
center. In addition you must use a stereo guitar cable from your guitar to the MidiUp. Full instructions for
modifications are included in this manual.
When used with a volume pedal no modification is necessary, simply hook a standard guitar cable from the
pedal output to the MidiUp input and you are ready to roll. In this application no cable is attached to the
input of the volume pedal. Instead your guitar just goes directly to the effects.
The MidiUps clever architecture adjusts itself automatically to any of the standard guitar pot or volume
pedals resistance values, typically 250K, 500K, and 1M ohms. With this ability to self-calibrate, you can
switch the MidiUp from guitar to guitar and always feel confident that the full range of the pedal or guitar
pot will transmit the full range of controller messages. The MidiUp automatically re-calibrates whenever
the instruement cable is unplugged from the guitar or from the volume pedal and reconnected.
