  • Page 5: Overview

    OVERVIEW The MR5 is a translator that takes the MIDI data output from a controller or sequencer and converts the commands to the JR5 footswitch language. This allows any Radial device that employs the JR5 to be integrated into MIDI controlled guitar rigs, or be used in sequenced performances.
  • Page 6: Making Connections

    If you wish to use a JR5 footswitch in conjunction with the MR5, simply connect one of its XLR jacks to the MR5 and the other to the JR5 input on your Radial device. The pedal will now be in-line with the MR5, and your Radial device will respond to commands from both.
  • Page 7 Not only can the MR5 be used to control both JX44 and the JX42, the MR5 can also be used in conjunction with the JR5 remote control. This allows a musician to still have their stage remote and have the MR5 send control messages to the JX44 or JX42 from a midi sequencer, or MIDI control pedals, or MIDI playback, from a MIDI track from back ground orchestration software.
  • Page 8: Midi Setup

    The side panel is equipped with LED indicators to show you the status of the MR5. The power LED indicates that the MR5 is receiving power from your Radial device from the JR5 connection.

    DIP switch 5: This switch is used to select OMNI mode. When in the UP position, Omni mode is OFF and the MR5 will only respond to MIDI messages on the channel selected with switches 1-4. When in the DOWN position, Omni mode is ON and the MR5 will respond to MIDI messages sent on all channels.
  • Page 10 MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART (CONT. NEXT PAGE) The MR5 is setup to respond to both MIDI Control Changes and Program changes. Control changes can select both guitars and individual amplifiers on the JX44. Program changes are reserved for amplifier selection only, which allows for custom configurations with multiple amplifiers on devices like the JX44.
