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. [. . . ] 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. The display will show the MIDI controller number. This will store your change into memory and exit you to either Preset or Effect Mode, whatever mode you were in previous to editing. Read this section for detailed Setup Mode information. EXAMPLES: Setting t eMIDI Bypass Function To Respond to Controller #7 h Sub-mode three is an excellent way to induce extreme value settings via MIDI. For example, you want to affect the main volume of your keyboard remotely using your foot. The MODE and #3 LED indicator will start to flash, and the display will show 1. Refer to the chart below and select a value from 0 to 15. The inter-message delay is provided so you may limit the amount of MIDI data sent. Limiting the amount of MIDI data avoids the possibility of overloading the MIDI buffers. This parameter only effects MIDI data sent by the expression pedals. 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. [. . . ] If the error message "E-t" appears in the display, phone home!It's unlikely this error will occur, it could happen if a large MIDI dump is passed thru the X-12 with the merger on and the sending device has a "fast" MIDI out. If the error message "E-c" appears in the display, a checksum error has occurred, press any pad to continue operation. If the problem reoccurs at the next power up, contact the factory. [. . . ]
