  • Page 3: Connections

    X-15 to whichever MIDI device you wish to control. Connect the MIDI cable to the 5 pin MIDI OUT jack on the X-15 and then to the MIDI IN jack of the device you are going to control.
  • Page 4: Operation

    OPERATION MODES The ART X - 1 5 has four major Modes of operation. These Modes are called PRESET, EFFECT SETUP, and BYPASS Mode. Operation of the X-15 is defined and executed by these Modes. To change between Preset and Effect Mode, you need only to press the MODE activator pad.
  • Page 5: Effect Mode

    X-15’s initial values or by you from editing Setup Mode. The X-15 remembers the state (on or off) of each of the ten controllers. Pressing a numbered button toggles the current state, which in turn does two things, (1) send a controller change message out the MIDI port, and (2) change the state of the LED.
  • Page 6 MIDI. For example, you want to affect the main volume of your keyboard remotely using your foot. Using the X-15 you may do this. Enter sub-mode 3. The MODE and #3 LED indicator will start to flash, and the display will show 1.
  • Page 7 SUB-MODE 6: Sub-mode 6 allows you to dump all your MIDI parameters from the X-15 to a MIDI storage device. Make sure your MIDI out cable is connected to the storage device then press the MODE and #6 pad. Data will be dumped in less than five seconds.

    1. You may change presets (programs, patches) right out of the box by hooking up a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT jack of the X-15 to the MIDI IN jack on the device you wish to control. After the cable has been connected, press any activator pad numbers 1 through 10 to recall presets.

  • Page 12: System Exclusive Messages

    The X-15 SysEx messages are used to set/get operating parameters, determine the presence of the X-15 in a MIDI network, and to verify reads and writes to the X-15’s EEPROM. The general form of an X-15 SysEx message is: The <func>...
  • Page 13: Unit Handshake Group

    The unit handshake group of messages can be used to see if an X-15 is present on a channel of a MIDI network. After receiving an inbound 41 message, the X-15 replies with an outbound 01 message. There are no data bytes in either inbound or outbound messages.

    (we mean contact the factory). It’s unlikely this error will occur, it could happen if a large MIDI dump is passed thru the X-15 with the merger on and the sending device has a “fast” MIDI out. 6. If the error message “E-c” appears in the display, a checksum error has occurred, press any pad to continue operation.
