7.2 SOFTWARE UPDATES
By sending in your warranty card, you are entitled to one free EPROM
software update. Thereafter, updates are $50 each. You can send your unit to
ADA for installation or we can send you the EPROM. Always refer to qualified
service personnel for installation.
When you power-up the MP-1, the software revision level is indicated on
the LED Readout before the word "ADA" flashes.
Level 1 software offers the following features: 100% compatability with
MIDI Spec 1.0. In addition, ADA has pioneered a phantom power system which
sends AC power thru a 7-pin MIDI cable to controllers such as ADA's MC-1 MIDI
CONTROLLER.
Level 2 software offers upload and download of MP-1 parameters to
computers with a MIDI interface using System Exclusive Messages. In addition,
MP-1 parameters may be accessed in real-time using SYSEX messages.
Level 3 software will read MIDI Timecode for synchronizing with SMPTE
Time Code devices, and will be able store a Q-LIST of MTC program and
parameter changes.
These are the updates that we now know about. As MIDI evolves, so will the
MP-1. its capabilities will continue to expand!

3.0 INITIAL SET-UP

1 Set MP-1 rear panel POWER SWITCH to OFF.
2 Connect your guitar to the front panel INPUT jack. If you are
connected to a professional mixing console, run your signal source
to the LINE INPUT on the rear panel. If both inputs are connected,
only the front panel input will be operative.
3 Connect MP-1 OUTPUTS to your amplifier or mixer inputs.
4 If MP-1 outputs are connected to a power amp or other line input,
flip the top panel slide switch towards the rear panel to the LINE
position. WARNING: Do not use LINE position when MP-1 is
connectd to guitar amplifier inputs.
5 If using MIDI:
A. Connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI footswitch or other MIDI
controller to the MIDI IN jack on the MP-1.
B. When using a MIDI device before the MP-1 and a MIDI device
following the MP-1, use the MIDI Thru jack to send the external
program number. Use the MIDI Out jack to send the MP-1's
internal memory number.
C. When using the MP-1 as the first in a series of MIDI devices,
use the MIDI Out jack to send the MP-1's internal memory number.
6 If you own the optional MC-1 MIDI footswitch, connect the MIDI In
Jack on the MP-1 to the MC-1 with the MIDI CABLE. You can use a
standard 5-pin MIDI cable and plug the AC ADAPTOR into the
MC-1 or you can use the ADA 7-pin phantom MIDI cable and power
the MC-1 thru the 7-pin cable (eliminating the need to have power
near the footcontroller); when using the 7-pin cable, the AC
ADAPTOR plugs into the 9V AC / DC jack on the MP-1 rear panel.
7 If you are using effects with the MP-1, connect the EFFECTS LOOP
SEND jack to the input jack of the first effect in use.
8 Connect the EFFECTS LOOP RECEIVE jack to the output of the
last effect in your loop.
9 See Section 3.4 for full description of correct effects loop level
settings.
