  • Page 16: Setup Mode

    If you are controlling devices made by other manufacturers or just need additional control over your settings, you can use Setup Mode to configure the MasterMind. Setup Mode is very powerful and as a result takes some time to learn, but if you spend the time to get comfortable with it, you can use it to configure the MasterMind for almost any rig.
  • Page 17: Global Setup

    Each Program Change destination can be set to any MIDI channel (or none). Each destination typically corresponds to one MIDI device. For example, PC1 could be set to the MIDI channel of your RJM RG-16, PC2 could be set to the MIDI channel of one MIDI-enabled effects processor, and PC3 could be set to the MIDI channel of a second MIDI-enabled effects processor.
