Resetting the unit to factory settings
Most of the data held by Ambika is stored on the SD card, with one exception: the boot
configuration, which is stored on the main processor's non-volatile memory. The boot
configuration is the set of settings loaded when the unit is powered on. To restore the default factory
boot configuration, keep the S1 key while powering the unit. The unit will freeze for a few seconds
to retrieve and write the factory defaults.
Dirty technical details

MIDI implementation

Basics
A MIDI implementation chart is available
Program changes
Program change messages are used to load either:
a program (that is to say sound synthesis settings + keyboard mapping/sequencer parameters). All
parts set to listen to the channel on which the program change message is sent will load the program.
a multi. In this case, all parts are affected.
The MIDI banks 0-25 are used to load program banks A to Z. The MIDI banks 26-51 are used to load
multi banks A to Z. For example, to load the multi 002 in the B bank, send a control change 0 (bank
select) with a value of 27 to select multi bank B, and a program change 2. To load the program 120 in
the D bank, send a control change 0 (bank select) with a value of 3, and a program change 120.
External clock reception
Keep in mind that the tempo must be set to ext to receive an external MIDI clock! Otherwise Ambika
continues running with its own internal clock.
Control changes
The Modulation Wheel, Breath Controller and Foot Pedal CCs ; along with aftertouch messages might
not affect the sound unless they are patched to a modulation destination in the modulation matrix. If
