HOW MO’ CONTROL CAN ACT AS A MIDI CONTROLLER

You’ve probably noticed the “MIDI Out” jack on the back of your Mo’ Bass. You also may have noticed
that the MIDI Out function of the Mo’ Bass is only possible when used in conjunction with the Mo’
Control, and that your Mo’ Bass Owner’s Manual asks you to refer to this manual for more details.
Well, here they are.

Basically, you can control both the Mo’ Bass and your external MIDI-capable device by using the
Preset Group and Bypass switches on the Mo’ Control. When connected to the Mo’ Bass, the Mo’
Control sends simple MIDI program change commands through the MIDI Out Jack on the rear of the
Mo’ Bass. (Again, the MIDI function on the Mo’ Control/Mo’ Bass system is for output only.) Your
control range will be six groups, and star ting from 00 for the sake of this example, they correspond
as shown in the following char t:

Mo’ Control

MIDI Device

Solo Mode

=

Group 00

Preset Group 1

=

Group 01

Preset Group 2

=

Group 02

Preset Group 3

=

Group 03

Preset Group 4

=

Group 04

Bypass

=

Group 05

Connection is as simple as patching a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of the Mo’ Bass to the MIDI In
on your external effects device and patching that device into the Mo’ Bass external effects loop. For
information on programming your MIDI device’s presets to correlate to the Mo’ Control in your
desired manner, please consult the MIDI device’s owner’s manual, or contact the manufacturer for
more detailed information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got questions? We figured you might. Here are the answers to some of the most common ones:

Q:

What happens if I’ve forgotten one of the cables and I’m at the gig and it’s too late to get a 

replacement? Will the Mo’ Control work with only one or the other?

A:

If you forget the stereo-to-2-mono inser t cable, the Mo’ Control will work with the DB9 cable 

only with the following exceptions: the Bypass and the Filter Sweep Pedal will be inactive. 
However, without the DB9 cable, the Mo’ Control will not work in any capacity.

Q:

I’m not much for the pedal—I’d rather just use my fingers to control the synth. But when I plug 

in the Mo’ Control, I can’t seem to get the same synth sound. Something sounds wrong. 
What’s going on?

A:

The Filter Sweep Pedal is most likely in the “open” position (toe down). You have two options 

to fix this. You can simply unplug the “filter” end of the inser t cable from the Mo’ Bass. Or, if 
you want to retain the option to use the pedal at any time, you can set the pedal to the 
“closed” position (heel down) and leave it there. Then you can set the Mo’ Bass Filter knob to 
wherever you usually keep it, and it should act as if the pedal is “out of the loop.”
