    MP-201 User’s Manual Introduction Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the MP-201 Multi-Pedal. The MP-201 Multi-Pedal is an advanced four-channel CV/MIDI footpedal controller. The analog CV control outputs consist of four 1⁄4” jacks located on the back of the unit.

  • Page 3: Overview And Features

    MP-201 User’s Manual Overview and Features The MP-201 Multi-Pedal has 4 analog Control Voltage (CV) outputs and USB/ standard MIDI connectors that can transmit or receive controller information on up to 4 MIDI channels simultaneously. Each CV output can be individually programmed as an analog CV with +/- 5V limits, or a Gate trigger (0V - 5V).
  • Page 4 MP-201 User’s Manual Here’s a brief look at the MP-201 front and back panel controls and functions: Front Panel: 1. VALUE encoder/Encoder Pushswitch - The VALUE encoder selects presets and is used to navigate through editing screens. Rotating the VALUE encoder changes presets, parameters and values.
  • Page 5 MP-201 User’s Manual 6. Four Footswitch LED indicators. The Bi-color LED indicators are used to display the current ON/OFF state of the four outputs (Red LEDs) and the current level of the outputs (Amber LEDs). 7. MIDI LED - Indicates MIDI Input activity when lit. NOTE: The chart on page 16 details the function of the panel controls in all modes of operation, and is a handy reference for learning how to navigate through the MP-201’s functions.

  • Page 6: Instant Gratification

    MP-201 User’s Manual Instant Gratification Follow these steps to experience some of what the MP-201 Multi-Pedal can do. Unpack and set up the Multi-Pedal. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the POW- ER IN jack on the back of the Multi-Pedal, and then make additional connections as shown.
  • Page 7 MP-201 User’s Manual 3. On the Multi-Pedal, use the VALUE encoder to select Preset 00 ‘EXPRESSR’. The Multi-Pedal LCD should appear as shown below. The Multi-Pedal is now configured as a standard expression pedal with a Control Voltage (CV) range of 0 to +5V. If you are connected to a Voyager or Little Phatty, playing the keyboard while adjusting the footpedal will open and close the filter.
  • Page 8 MP-201 User’s Manual 2. On the Multi-Pedal, use the VALUE encoder to select Preset 33, ‘MIDI CCs’. The Multi-Pedal LCD should appear as shown below. The Multi-Pedal is now configured as an expression pedal that is setup to transmit MIDI CC messages for Mod Wheel (CC#1), Breath (CC#2), Volume (CC#7) and Foot- Ctl (CC#4) on MIDI Channel 1.

  • Page 9: Presets Defined

    MP-201 User’s Manual Presets Defined A Preset is a collection of four programmed Control Channels (see figure below). Each channel can be programmed to specify a Control Voltage (CV), a MIDI Continuous Controller message, or both. There are a total of 50 presets available (Preset #00-49).

    40). It is up to the MP-201 user to know and understand the input requirements of their analog gear before connecting the MP-201. Some analog gear may not be able to accept negative voltages! All current Moog gear is compatible with the CV outputs of the MP-201, including all Moogerfooger® Analog Effects, Minimoog Voyager®...
  • Page 11 MP-201 User’s Manual trills, or slow rhythmic sweeps, while oscillations in the audio range can be used to create truly wild sonic effects, including frequency modulation (FM), amplitude modulation (AM), and timbre modulation. A CV can also be a randomly generated signal. If it is continuously random, it is called Noise, similar to the static white noise that can be picked up on an analog radio tuned between stations.
  • Page 12 MP-201 User’s Manual MIDI MIDI was developed as a standard way of communicating control signals digitally for musical devices or software across a MIDI or USB cable. Standard MIDI cables use 5-pin DIN connectors, and each cable can send MIDI data (MIDI OUT) or receive MIDI Data (MIDI IN).

  • Page 13: Operating Modes

    MP-201 User’s Manual Operating Modes The controls on the Multi-Pedal perform multiple functions as indicated on the front panel of the unit. In order to organize these functions into logical groups, the Multi- Pedal uses the concept of ‘Operating Modes’. There are four Operating Modes: - Single Channel (SGL) Mode - Quad Channel (QD) Mode - Edit Mode...

  • Page 15: Single Channel Mode

    MP-201 User’s Manual Single Channel Mode Single Channel Mode is the default operation mode when the Multi-Pedal is first powered up. Single Channel Mode (SGL) allows you to: - view and edit the current Preset name, - view information about the current Channel - select the current Preset with footswitches.
  • Page 16 MP-201 User’s Manual Preset Names Preset Naming is only available in Single Channel Mode. To name a Preset, press the Encoder pushswitch. The cursor will move to the first letter in the Preset name field. Use the VALUE encoder to selected the desired character.

  • Page 17: Quad Channel Mode

    MP-201 User’s Manual Quad Channel Mode Quad Channel Mode (QD) provides access to controlling all four channels at the same time. Each footswitch controls the ON/OFF state of the channel indicated by the Channel number. The movement of the footpedal will affect any of the Channels that are ON in the manner defined by the Channel Mode and settings of the Channels in the preset.

  • Page 18: Edit Mode

    MP-201 User’s Manual Edit Mode Edit Mode allows you to edit the parameters of a Preset. Edit Mode can be entered from Single Channel Mode or Quad Channel Mode simply by pressing EDIT or by pressing FS2 & FS4 simultaneously. In Edit Mode, the VALUE Encoder or footswitches 1 &...

  • Page 30: Storing Presets

    MP-201 User’s Manual Storing Presets The STORE function is used to save an edited Preset in Edit Mode (SAVE PRESET) or Performance Mode (SAVE PANEL). When a Preset is stored in Edit Mode, the store operation only overwrites values that have been actively edited. When a Preset is stored in Performance Mode (either Single Channel or Quad Channel Mode), the store operation overwrites initial state and value with current channel ON/OFF state and current footpedal position on any Channels that have been changed.

    MP-201 User’s Manual Low Frequency Oscillator Parameters The LFOs in the MP-201 offer a wide variety of options for control. This section will provide the in-depth information you need to know in order to program and use the LFOs effectively. LFO WAVEFORMS The LFOs in the MP-201 offer a choice of five different waveforms, plus noise.
  • Page 32 MP-201 User’s Manual LFO SYNC The LFO SYNC parameter allows you to select the synchronization source of the LFO. The values are FREE RUNNING, TAP TEMPO, CH1–CH4 and MIDI CLOCK. The default value is FREE RUNNING, which means that the LFO is not synced to another source.

    MP-201 User’s Manual MIDI Implementation The MP-201 offers a wealth of possibilities as a MIDI controller. This section covers the MIDI configuration, as well as the MIDI Output and Input possibilities of the device. When using the MP-201 as a MIDI controller, the first thing that must be done is configure the MIDI Setup.
  • Page 36 MP-201 User’s Manual If that same MP-201 channel is set to LFO Mode and the MP-201 Channel is ON then the incoming MIDI CCs will affect the output based on the Footpedal Mode (Rate, Amount, or Offset). When the MP-201 channel is OFF, the LFO Off Mode (Initial, Current, Continuous) determines what happens at the output in response to MIDI CCs.
