User manual ART X-12

[. . . ] The only accessories you will need to use your X-12 ULTRAFOOT is a power source and MIDI cable(s). Power Input Plug the power adapter into a proper power outlet then connect to the X-12. TELL-TALES/CONTROLS NUMERIC DISPLAY The Seven Segment Numeric Display keeps you constantly informed of your Preset Number, Expression Pedal values, MIDI Channel, Programming Characters, and Error Messages. AlI information is displayed using decimal based numbers in most cases. Power up When power is first applied to the X-12, it runs through an autotest sequence turning on everything that lights up for about a second, then it displays "Art" indicating everything is fine. [. . . ] The seven segment display shows the parameter value which is the MIDI controller number. DEFAULT VALUE = 11 (EXPRESSION CONTROLLER) The above assigned effects controlled directly relate to ART's SGX product line but can be assigned to control any MIDI devices effects if they are MIDI controllable. DEFAULT VALUES = MIDI CONTROL NUMBERS SHOWN IN ABOVE CHART SUB-MODE 3: Setting the Bypass Controller Sub-Mode 3 allows you to program how the BYPASS switch operates when set for MIDI operation. See the list of MIDI controllers in Appendix D for the number corresponding with the MIDI controller. Enter sub-mode 3 and select the proper controller number using the UP/DOWN buttons. The seven segment display shows the parameter value which is the MIDI controller number. DEFAULT VALUE = 84 (UNDEFINED) EXAMPLE: Editing the Activator Pad MIDI Controller Number In this example we will enter Setup Mode and select submode 4 and edit the controller number for pad number 1. First, enter Setup Mode by pressing and holding down the MODE pad and then pressing the #4 pad. The display will show the number 70, and the #1 pad LED will be flashing. To edit the value for pad #1, press the UP/DOWN pads until the desired # appears. This will store your change into memory and exit you to either Preset or Effect Mode, whatever mode you were in previous to editing. If the receiving device informs you there is an overflow of data, increase the delay, otherwise, leave the value set at the default setting. VALUE 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 DELAY 0 40 80 120 160 200 240 280 320 360 400 440 480 520 560 There are two principal types of switch functions you can choose, momentary and toggle. In momentary mode, the state of the bypass output changes for as long as the BYPASS button is held down mimicking directly a momentary switch. Toggle mode allows for the state of the bypass jack to change every time the BYPASS button is initially pressed, just like an on/off switch. When you set the value for 1 or 3, the state of the bypass LED is the state of the bypass jack when the bypass jack is "on" (closed), the bypass LED is lit. Values 2 or 4 reverse this, when the bypass jack is "off" (open), the bypass LED is lit. DEFAULT VALUE = 2 (80ms DELAY) SUB-MODE 6: Dumping Parameters Sub-mode 6 allows you to dump all your MIDI parameters from the X-12 to a MIDI storage device. Make sure your MIDI out cable is connected to the storage device then press the MODE and #6 pad. Data will be dumped in less than five seconds. 6 S VN EDITED PARAMETERS AI G STORE/SAVE PARAMETERS To SAVE any parameter value you changed, press and release the MODE button. By doing this you write any changed parameters to EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory), and returns to the last mode prior to entering setup mode. Pressing MODE and buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 will switch to another sub-mode of setup. You must be in Setup Mode to store changed parameters. either an "L" or "r" indicating which pedal has most recently moved, and its value.
