  • Page 10 (9) MIDI OUT/THRU jack: This standard 5-pin DIN connector passes on the MIDI information that is received at the MIDI IN jack to other MlDI-compatible devices via a MIDI cable. It also outputs MIDI data when performing a memory dump. Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained together (series connected).

  • Page 39 A. RECALLING A STORED INTELLIFEX LTD PRESET Step 1 To recall an Intellifex LTD preset, first turn the PRESET control to the preset number to be recalled. The display will alternate between the preset number/title selected and: Step 2 To recall the selected preset, press the RECALL button and the display will now show only the new preset number and title (or configuration type - depending on the CONFIG L.E.D.
  • Page 40 B. CHANGING PRESET PARAMETERS Step 1 The parameter menu for each effect can be called up via the FUNCTION SELECT control. Turn this control to the effect to be modified. Step 2 Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control to choose which parameter to be altered for that effect.
  • Page 41 STORE button is pressed to initiate the store procedure (i.e. if preset 81 has been altered and you attempt to store it at preset location 81, the Intellifex LTD will default and store the altered parameters to preset 1, preset 125 will default to preset 45, etc.).
  • Page 42 After the altered parameter values have been stored into the selected preset number, the Intellifex LTD will display "COPY TITLE TOO?". This will only be displayed when storing into a new preset number, and allows you copy the title from the original preset into the new preset also, if desired.
  • Page 43 Step 5 After all the desired characters have been edited, press the STORE button to save the new title in Intellifex LTD memory. The Intellifex LTD will flash "STORED" briefly. NOTE 1 The STORE button must be pressed to save the new title. Exiting the Title Edit function before pressing the STORE button will erase any editing done in the Title Edit function.
  • Page 44 E. SELECTING A "POWER ON" PRESET Step 1 Turn the PRESET control to the preset number that is to be recalled each time the unit is turned on.

  • Page 51 Using a standard MIDI cable, connect the MIDI OUT of the transmitting Intellifex LTD to Step 1 the MIDI IN of the receiving Intellifex LTD. Do not connect the other MIDI ports together. Step 2 Turn the FUNCTION SELECT knob on both units to "MIDI Dump/Load".
  • Page 52 Use the PRESET control on the transmitting Intellifex LTD to select the preset you wish to Step 5 dump. Any of the user presets (1-80) may be dumped. Step 6 Use the PRESET control on the receiving Intellifex LTD to select the preset location to store the received preset.
  • Page 53 The Check Sum byte is the "Exclusive Or" operation of all the data bytes, with the most significant bit = 0. Dumping the Intellifex user memory into a sequencer: Step 1 Connect the MIDI OUT of the Intellifex LTD to the MIDI IN on the sequencer using a standard MIDI cable.
  • Page 54 RECORD Step 5 Press the STORE button on the Intellifex LTD to initiate the user data dump. The Intellifex LTD will display the number of the data string as it is dumped. Data strings 1-80 are the user presets as described by the preset dump function, while data string 81 is the program map- pings.
  • Page 55 Reloading the user memory from a sequencer: Step 1 Connect the MIDI OUT of the sequencer to the MIDI IN on the Intellifex LTD with a standard MIDI cable. Turn the FUNCTION SELECT control on the Intellifex LTD fully clockwise to the "MIDI Step 2 DUMP/LOAD"...
  • Page 56 12 data bytes. Error Messages "RECEIVE ERROR" - This message will appear on a receiving Intellifex LTD if Check Sum bytes do not match, or if a status byte (MSB = 1) is received when a data byte was expected. This message also appears if a knob is turned or a button is pressed during reception.
  • Page 57 After the initialization process is complete, the display should read "ERRORS 0". The "0" represents the number of bytes that the Intellifex LTD found did not initialize properly. Any other message indicates that the Intellifex LTD may not have reinitialized properly. The Intellifex LTD will remain in this condition until either the PRESET or FUNCTION SE- LECT control is turned.
