Global Button
While in Play mode, pressing this button brings up the Global
Select screen. You can then edit Global parameters (which affect
all Setups) or perform several utilities. While editing a Setup, the
Global button works as a Compare button, letting you switch
between the original, unedited Setup and the newly-edited
Setup.
SW1 and SW2
These are the two panel switches. You can use them to start and
stop the Arpeggiator, play notes, send program changes, or to do
other things.
Panic Button
When you press SW1 and SW2 simultaneously, they act as a
Panic button, which clears up stuck notes, reinitializes the
arpeggiators, and resets the Ribbon and other controllers. The
ÒInternalÓ LED will light for about 5 seconds (or until you release
the buttons) and the ExpressionMate will send the following
messages:
• All Notes Off, All Sound Off, and Reset All Controllers
messages on each channel of the Main Out port, then the
same for Aux Out port.
• Note Off messages for every note of every channel of the
Main Out port, then the same for the Aux Out port.
Front Panel LEDs
Every time you choose a new Setup, youÕll see the various LEDs
on the front of the unit lighting up. Here is a description of each:
• The ÒInternalÓ LED lights up when the ExpressionMate
generates MIDI messages. This can happen when you play
the Ribbon, buttons, pedals, or the Breath controller, or when
you send Entry and Exit values by changing Setups.
• The ÒExternalÓ LED shows that the ExpressionMate is
receiving MIDI messages at either of its two MIDI In ports,
Main or Aux. It should light up when you send external
controllers, or notes to the Arpeggiator.
• The Ò3 SectionsÓ and Ò1 SectionÓ LEDs show whether the
Ribbon is conÞgured as one or three sections.
