The Save On-function enables quick storing of programs coming from the Midi-controller to the DF-12. If the Save On-function is activated, the DF-12 receives Controller #28 data. The current adjustments will be directly saved on the program number corresponding to the controller value.
Any MIDI data sent to the DF-12 (sequencer, MIDI footswitch, etc.) is received via the MIDI IN jack. For example, if you wish to use the DF-12 as an effect device for a guitar rack, you can connect the MIDI In jack to a MIDI footswitch, which allows for selecting program presets.
Connection Cables Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always to your advantage. Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired and that all their contacts are perfectly efficient: a great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
Maintenance The DF-12 equalizer requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the audio connections with a damp cloth.
