USING CONTINUOUS CONTROLLERS
The CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER jacks on the top of the MP1288 are input
jacks for separate controlling devices. These controllers can be 0 - 5 volt voltage
control pedals, or a unit that uses a variable resistance to ground, such as the
RFX 402p volume pedal.
If you have a pedal with 0 - 5 voltage control range, just plug it in and start pro-
gramming. However, if a variable resistance controller is used, the actual control
range may vary depending on the potentiometer in the pedal. Check the manual of
the receiving unit(s) for the controller numbers of the parameters you wish to
control. The 1288 can accommodate controller numbers 0 - 122.
Connect the pedal to the jack you wish to use, (Several different pedals can be
used depending of the functions of the unit(s) being controlled).
While still in LEARN mode, click down to A PROGRAM button until [C1] to [C8]
shows in the number display. Now select the channel of the unit to receive the
controller signal and press STORE.
Example - Your wah/volume pedal comes equipped with an output jack that makes
it double as a voltage controller. Your guitar signal processor lets you remotely
adjust the Chorus speed, master volume or hi-mid-lo settings. Since the guitar
signal processor is set for MIDI channel 2, plug the controller into CONTINUOUS
CONTROLLER jack number 1 and assign jack number 1 to MIDI channel 2. This
is done by selecting the Program button while the CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER
# LED is lit and then selecting MIDI channel 2 - since the receiving unit is set for
MIDI channel 2.
CLEARING THE MEMORY - FACTORY PRESET
The MP1288 can be reset as it came from the factory by simply holding down
both CHANNEL buttons while in the LEARN mode.
• The display will show [FP] (meaning factory preset) for about 60
seconds then clear. This clears all previously programmed information.
MIDI TEST MODE
The 1288 comes with a bonus testing mode for testing other MIDI transmitters.
To access the TEST Mode, hold the two PROGRAM buttons down on power-up.
Connect the unit to be tested to the MIDI IN jack of the 1288, and send a signal
from the test unit. The MIDI WIZARD will display the channel and the program
change number (MPC#) coming in from the unit being tested.
If a controller is being tested, the display will show the channel number, then the
controller number while lighting the CONTROLLER # LED.
In this mode, all the buttons on the MP1288 are inactive because the 1288 is only
an input testing device. This features makes the MP1288 a very useful tool when
troubleshooting any MIDI transmitting device.
TO EXIT MIDI TEST MODE YOU MUST UNPLUG THE POWER FROM THE
MP1288.

PROGRAM
A: Continuous Controller input jacks. 1/4" jacks (tip-sleeve only) for receiving 0-5
volt continuous controller voltages, or standard resistive volume pedal outputs.
B: 3-digit high-efficiency number display for:
• Displaying the program number being accessed while in normal SEND
mode.
• Displaying MAP numbers, MIDI channel numbers, and CONTINUOUS
CONTROLLER numbers being assigned while in LEARN mode.
C: MIDI IN jack. 5-pin jack for connection to the MIDI device to be controlled.
E: POWER jack. For connection to the 12 VAC or DC supply.
F: Function LED indicators. Indicate the following:
• The SEND LED indicates that a MIDI signal being sent to the unit(s)
being controlled.
• The RUN LED indicates the unit is in "send" mode.
• The LEARN LED indicates the unit is in "learn" mode.
• As you assign each MAP #, CHANNEL #, MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE
(MPC) #, or CONTROLLER #, the corresponding LED will stay lit.
G: Function Footpads. For performing the following functions:
• Incrementing, decrementing, and programming Program #s, MIDI
Channel #s, MIDI Map #s, MPC #s, Continuous Controller #s, and
MODEs.
• STOREs and directly accesses program #s.
