Basic Operation

This chapter discusses some fundamental characteristics of the
MCS-3000 Series, what it does when powered up, operating

modes, and the ever-popular wave demo.

Power Up

Turn the power switch on.
The LCD briefly shows the product name and firmware version.
The LCD then shows either the current Bank name, or the
name and value of the 5 encoders. If the user has not yet
named the encoders, the display is VKNOB1, VKNOB2, etc.,
After about 2 seconds, the faders will quickly move to the last
position that they held on the previous power down.

Entering and Exiting Assign Mode

While the procedure for assigning a control is described in
detail later, it is important to notice that the unit will not
transmit data while it is in "Assign Mode".
To enter Assign mode, press the yellow Assign button.
The yellow LED lights.
To exit Assign mode, without any changes to memory, press
Assign again. The yellow LED turns off.
