[. . . ] Be sure this Volume knob is turned counter-clockwise whenever you turn on your audio system. 4 After connecting the power, audio, and MIDI cables, turn the MicroPiano on by rotating the Power/Volume knob slightly clockwise until it clicks. Within one second, all of the front panel LEDs and all of the display segments will light brießy. The LEDs then turn off, and the display changes to show the software version number. Finally, the Program LED will turn on and the display will show a Ò1, Ó indicating that the MicroPiano is in PROGRAM mode and is operating normally. Be sure your controller keyboard is transmitting on MIDI Channel 1. You may now begin to send MIDI signals to the MicroPiano and adjust the Volume knob and your audio system to a comfortable listening level. If the MicroPiano fails to operate as just described, refer to the ÒIN CASE OF DIFFICULTYÓ section on page 14. MIDI Indicator When you are sending MIDI signals on the same channel on which the MicroPiano is set to receive, the leftmost decimal point on the LED display will ßash, indicating that you are receiving MIDI messages. The DEMO Sequence To hear some of the capabilities of the MicroPiano, try listening to the DEMO sequence. Note that any value greater than 16 selects ÒPrgÓ mode. The effects provided with the MicroPiano consist of several types of reverb with and without chorus, as well as the Deep Space effectÑa unique combination of reverb and echo. Try them out. 7 Effect Wet/Dry Mix The default setting for the EFFECTS mode when the MicroPiano is turned on is ÒPrg. Ó Remember, each program has its own predetermined effect, so changing a program when in the PROGRAM mode will change the effect. See pages 6 and 7 or the pull-out charts on pages 17 and 18, for a listing of the MicroPianoÕs programs and effects. The Wet/Dry Mix of reverb can be adjusted from your master controller by sending MIDI controller 91 messages. Values 0-127 change the mix from dry to wet. The Wet/Dry Mix of chorus can be adjusted from your master controller by sending MIDI controller 93 messages. Values 0-127 change the mix from dry to wet. When you change the EFFECTS mode (either through the front panel or through MIDI), the Wet/Dry Mix is reset to the new effectÕs default. Similarly, when you change the PROGRAM mode while the EFFECTS mode is set to ÒPrg, Ó the Wet/Dry Mix is reset to the new effectÕs default.
