See APPENDIX A if you are new to MIDI or just need some additional background on the
subject of MIDI.
PHANTOM POWER MIDI CONTROLLERS
When hooking up a MIDI Controller Pedal to the MP-1 CLASS1C, there is a convenient
option called PHANTOM POWER MIDI available to owners of any ADA MIDI Controller.
Using this option, the MIDI Controller can be supplied its power through the MIDI cable itself
so that the AC adapter cable is not run across the stage. Using a seven-pin PHANTOM MIDI
Cable (obtainable from your dealer as ADA part number 401016), the AC adapter included
with the MIDI Controller is unplugged from the Controller and moved to (he PHANTOM
POWER IN jack at the rear of the MP-1 CLASSIC. The standard five-pin MIDI Cable is then
replaced with the seven-pin MIDI Cable.

SELECTING MIDI CHANNEL

Selecting a MIDI channel is necessary for all MIDI devices so that the equipment can
respond to MIDI control signals properly. From the Play mode (not the Edit mode). Press the
MIDI CHNL button. It will begin flashing.
1. Use the and V arrow buttons to select a MIDI channel. The possible selections are
Λ
from "ch 1" to "ch 16", "ALL", or "Off.
2. When the desired MIDI channel number is displayed, press the MIDI CHNL button
again to store the selected MIDI channel number and exit the MIDI channel edit
mode.

MIDI MAPPING

The MIDI mapping function allows you to translate any MIDI program change number
received at the MP-1 CLASSIC's MIDI IN port to another INTERNAL PRGM number (1-128).
The MP-1 CLASSIC will respond to a received Program change command by changing to
the mapped Program number. The MIDI Mapping function allows any one of the 128 MIDI
program change codes to select any one of the 128 internal programs in the MP-1 CLASSIC.
The default is 1 to 1 mapping, where sending Program number 28 from a MIDI foot controller
(connected to the MIDI IN of the MP-1 CLASSIC), selects internal program 28 in the MP-1
CLASSIC. However, in a rack where a few different MIDI devices are under control by the
same MIDI foot controller, program 28 could be "mapped" to the MP-1 CLASSIC's program
number 2, while all the other effects devices in the rack will select their program number 28
via the MIDI THRU jack. For the details on setting up the MIDI map, see the MIDI MAP
section below. The MP-1 CLASSIC's MIDI THRU port will still transmit the original un-
mapped MIDI program change number received at the MIDI IN port to subsequent connected
MIDI devices. Also when the MP-1 CLASSIC is in the MIDI PRGM mode, the front panel acts
just like the MIDI IN port, so that going to MIDI PRGM 19 on the front panel will cause the
INTERNAL PRGM 25 to be loaded, and the MIDI OUT port will transmit program change 19.
Selecting a Program via the front panel will not send anything from the MIDI THRU jack.
When the MP-1 CLASSIC receives a program change command via MIDI, the display will
show a different number depending on whether you're in MIDI PRGM mode or INTERNAL
PRGM mode. The current mode is indicated by the MIDI PRGM LED or the INTERNAL
PRGM LED. In MIDI PRGM mode, the display will show the number that was received via
MIDI program change command (19 in the above example) In INTERNAL PRGM mode, the
display will show the INTERNAL PRGM number that it is mapped to (25 in the above
example.)
