INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the MP1288 MIDIWIZARD. The MP1288 was designed
to give you control of a whole universe of MIDI-compatible processors, keyboards,
sequencers, MIDI-linked PC terminals or anything else than can receive MIDI on
any of the 16 standard MIDI channels.
The MIDI WIZARDS's compact, durable chassis and low profile make it easily
integrated into the sometimes crowded studio or stage environment. And, if you
choose not to use it as a foot controller, the Wizard is designed to fit into an extra
rack space in any 19 inch audio rack. As with every RFX MIDI unit, it is Phantom
powerable, which eliminates the need for a separate power cord. The 1288 has
the power and memory capabilities to become the nerve center of an entire MIDI
recording studio as well as live situation. The Wizard can send up to 8 program
changes to 8 different MIDI-linked units for each program number assigned to the
pedal. Also up to 8 continuous controllers can be used to very parameters directly
on the receiving unit in real-time.

POWER-UP
Power-up of the MP1288 is accomplished by using the supplied AC power
adapter, or by connecting the MIDI OUT jack to any MIDI unit with Phantom
power capabilities using any standard MIDI cable.
The MIDI IN links other MIDI devices into the MIDI line and merges them to avoid
data collisions. (For example, 2 MP1288s operating on different MIDI channels
could be used together and use the same MIDI cord.)

RFX MIDI PHANTOM POWER
Inspired by an article in the December 1989 issue of Electronic Musician (by
Craig Anderton), we decided to emulate their MIDI phantom power model for RFX
equipment. MIDI receivers supply 12 VDC on pins 1 and 3, and transmitters
receive power on those same pins. Many MIDI devices can be modified to supply
power down the cable, but of course RFX makes no warranty to anyone as to the
applicability of this modification or any damage that might be done as a result
thereof. We supply this note for those adventurous people who may want to give it
a try.
Connect pin 1 to circuit ground, and pin 3 to +9 - +15 VDC of the receiving unit.
