The ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT puts the power of real time control at your feet in a format that is super-easy to use. The ART X-15 ULTRAFOT is a real time MIDI foot controller capable of sending MIDI Program Message Changes to any MIDI controlled device, AND, control MIDI assignable parameters via the TWO real time expression pedals on board, AND, access individual effects of ART SGX and ALPHA effects processors. FEATURES: - Instant access of individual effects TWO real time assignable expression pedals Simple, "plug in and go" operation DC bypass out jack for use with older units Rugged steel assembly MIDI IN, OUT, &, THRU Send MIDI data on three separate channels at once Durable composite activator pads Mode select allows multifunction use Non-Volatile memory, stores and remembers your changes Bright visible program display Switchable LED indicator lights Extra heavy-duty scuff resistant paint Dump parameters to MIDI storage device The X-15 ULTRAFOOT is a simple device to use extending the flexibility of any MIDI controlled device. For instructions on how to implement and use the X-15 in your system, please read and refer to the rest of this manual. CONNECTIONS Only two connections made to the rear of the X-15 are needed for operation. [. . . ] Use the UP (or DOWN) pad to change the display to 7. Doing this sets the BYPASS button to send either a 0 or 7F (127) out the MIDI port when the BYPASS switch is pressed, if it is programmed to send a MIDI message. When the switch is pressed, the main volume of the keyboard is toggled either to minimum or maximum. ProgrammingtheBYPASS Function to Bend a MIDI Bypass Command In this example we will enter Setup Mode and select submode 5 parameter 5, setting the BYPASS function for MIDI commands. Flrst, enter Setup Mode by pressing and holding down the MODE pad and then pressing the 5 SUB-MODE 5 In sub-mode five, there are six parameters that can be edited. Submode five flashes the first character of the display, and uses the other two digits to show the value. To edit the parameter, enter sub-mode 5, press the BYPASS button to cycle through the parameters, and use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the appropriate value. This table shows the display, parameter, description, and the available settings for the parameter. PARAMDISPLAY ETER DESCRIPTION RANGE DEFAULT VALUE Value 5 acts like value 3, except instead of the bypass jack, the MIDI port is used as the bypass output. The bypass LED is turned on and off as in mode three, but the bypass LED can also be remotely controlled via the MIDI port, Mode six sends a bypass message two different ways. Both the MIDI Out port and the 1/4" jack are used to send a "Bypass" message. The 1/4" jack acts like it would in mode 1 and the MIDI port would act as it would in mode 5. Since both a MIDI message and the Bypass DC footswitch jack are active the LED remains lit. If you wish momentary function only, change the value to 1. DEFAULT VALUE = 6 (MIDI 84 and NORMALLY OPEN MOMENTARY SWITCH) S L r b y d 1 System MIDI channel 1-16 Left pedal MIDI channel 2 1-16 Right pedal MIDI channel 3 1-16 4 Bypass mode 1-6 5 Merger mode 0-1 6 Pedal inter-message delay 0-15 1 1 1 6 0 5 Parameter 1 Setting the System MIDI Channel To set the MIDI channel for all your "system" data information both for sending and receiving, first, make sure there is a capital "S" flashing in the display and then use the UP/DOWN pads to select MIDI channel 1 through 16. DEFAULT VALUE =1 (CHANNEL 1) Parameter 2 Setting the Left Pedal MIDI Channel To set the MIDI channel for sending information with the Left expression pedal, first, make sure there is a capital "L" flashing in the display and then use the UP/DOWN pads to select MIDI channel 1 through 16. DEFAULT VALUE =1 (CHANNEL 1) Parameter 3 Setting the Right Pedal MIDI Channel To set the MIDI channel for sending information with the Right expression pedal, first, make sure there is a lower case "r" flashing in the display and then use the UP/ DOWN pads to select MIDI channel 1 through 16. DEFAULT VALUE =1 (CHANNEL 1) Parameter 4 Setting the Bypass Function To set the function of the BYPASS pad, first make sure there is a lower case "b" flashing in the display. Select a value from 1 to 6 referring to the following chart and descriptions. Value Jack MIDI 1 2 3 4 5 6 X X X X x X x Momentary Toggle X X X X X X LED Polarity normal reverse normal reverse remote remote P r m t r5 Setting the Merger On or Off aa ee To set the function of the Merger, first make sure there is a lower case "y" flashing in the display. Select a value of 0 or 1 Merger mode is either on (1) or off (0). When on, the MIDI OUT acts as a software MIDI thru. When off, only messages generated by the X-15 are sent. DEFAULT VALUE =0 (MERGER OFF) Parameter 6 Setting the MIDI Inter-Message Delay To set the inter-message delay, first make sure there is a lower case "d" flashing in the display. [. . . ] If the pedal is not controlling the intended device, check to make sure the MIDI channel is set correctly or OMNI Mode is on. If none of these are the cause of your problem, you should contact the factory. Review the warranty and service section at the end of the manual for more information.
