TO CHANGE THE MIDI MAPPING.
1. Press the MIDI PRGM button to get into the MIDI PRGM mode
2. Using BANK-UP, BANK-DOWN, and 0 to 9 buttons, select the MIDI program change
number (1 to128) to be mapped or 'translated". This is the number that will be
received via MIDI
3. Press the INTERNAL PRGM button twice. It will flash and the current Map
assignment will be displayed. This is the number of the INTERNAL PRGM (the
sound) that is to be mapped to the MIDI PRGM number
4. Using BANK-UP, BANK-DOWN, 0 - 9 digits, and the
Λ and V arrows select the
desired INTERNAL PRGM number (1 to 128) This is the INTERNAL PRGM number
which the MP-1 CLASSIC will change to.
5. Press the INTERNAL PRGM button again or press the MIDI PRGM button to store
the new mapping assignment and exit mapping mode
Note: it is possible to map multiple Program change numbers to a single mapped Program
change number. For example, MIDI PRGM numbers 19 and 25 may both be mapped to
INTERNAL PRGM number 25.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each of the 128 MIDI PRGM numbers to be mapped.
LOADING ONE-TO-ONE MIDI MAPPING
The MP-1 CLASSIC is shipped from the factory with a one-to-one mapping assignment, i.e.
MIDI program change number 1 received at the MIDI IN port will change the MP-1 CLASSIC
to INTERNAL PRGM number 1, program change 2 will change the MP-1 CLASSIC to
INTERNAL PRGM number 2 etc. If you want to restore the one-to-one relationship:
1. Press the STORE button. It will light.
2. Press the BANK-UP button and while holding down the BANK-UP button press the
number 2 button.
3. The display will read "1 to 1 LoAdEd." When the display returns to a program
number, the one to one mapping assignment is complete
Warning: Restoring one-to-one mapping will erase all previous MIDI mapping assignments
MIDI SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
Hint: The MP-1 CLASSIC supports MIDI System Exclusive messages which allows a
computer or sequencer to save and restore programs. Other System Exclusive messages
allow changing individual parameters in the working registers or in Internal programs with a
patch editor on a MIDI equipped computer. A programmer's guide and specification is
available directly from ADA or from an authorised ADA dealer for those who want to get into
MIDI control at this level.
The MP-1 CLASSIC's System Exclusive Save and Load features allow saving and loading
Programs to and from a computer or another MP-1 CLASSIC. To use these features a
computer is required with a MIDI interface and MIDI software which supports System
Exclusive (SYSEX) MIDI file .save/load, or a MIDI sequencer that supports System Exclusive
MIDI file save/load, it is possible to download or upload one program at a time or the MP-1
CLASSIC's entire internal memory. To send programs to a computer or another MP-1
CLASSIC, connect the MIDI OUT of the MP-1 CLASSIC that will be sending the programs to
the MIDI IN jack of the unit receiving the programs. Or vice versa, to receive programs from a
computer or another MP-1 CLASSIC, connect the MIDI OUT of the sending unit to the MIDI
IN jack of the receiving MP-1 CLASSIC. To use an editor/librarian running on the computer,
make both connections described above. To avoid MIDI feedback disable MIDI
ECHO/PATCH THRU on your computer. If transferring data from one MP-1 CLASSIC to
another, use one MIDI cable at a time to avoid MIDI feedback.
