SPECIAL PAGE FUNCTION 1: CUSTOM PRESET DATA DUMP
This lets you off-load your custom presets to another SansAmp PSA-1 or other external MIDI
gear, such as a sequencer. Connect a MIDI cable from the SansAmp PSA-1’s MIDI Thru/Out
jack, and plug the other end into a second SansAmp PSA-1, sequencer, MIDIable computer,
etc. Set up the sequencer or computer to receive the MIDI data (a second SansAmp PSA-1
automatically detects and accepts the data dump, so you don’t have to adjust anything), and
then press the SansAmp PSA-1’s Save key. The SansAmp PSA-1’s display will show two
dashes for approximately 10 seconds, and then 00, meaning that it has completed the dump.
After doing the dump, it returns to the Special Page function menu. You may now choose
either a new Special Page function, or press Save again to exit. If you don’t make a choice in
about 15 seconds, the display reverts to 00 without the dots blinking, indicating that the
SansAmp PSA-1 is in Program 00, bypass.
SPECIAL PAGE FUNCTION 2: MIDI MAPPING
This function defines internal MIDI mapping. That is, it tells your SansAmp PSA-1 which
program to call up when a MIDI Program Change command comes in. For example, if your
MIDI footcontroller sends out a Program Change command that says Program 26, and you
want your SansAmp PSA-1 to respond to that Program 26 message by calling up preset num-
ber 15, you can set the SansAmp PSA-1 to map that message to the appropriate location.
The SansAmp PSA-1 comes from the factory with its MIDI map set by default to map incom-
ing programs to the displayed programs. That is, MIDI 01 calls up program 01, etc. The
SansAmp PSA-1 has 100 program locations; therefore, any Program Change messages with
values greater than 99 are automatically remapped. So, incoming Program Change numbers
100 through 128 are automatically remapped so that 100 calls up 00, 101 calls up 01, and so
16
on until 128 calls up program 28.
To remap a MIDI Program Change command, here’s what you do:
Select function 02. Now push Save. The display’s upper left dot glows, telling you that the
display is showing the number of the incoming program. To change that number, use the Up
and Down switches to select a new number. Now push the Save button and the right dot
glows, telling you the display is
indicating the SansAmp PSA-1
program that will be affected by the
incoming MIDI Program Change
number that you selected. To
change the program, use the Up
and Down buttons. Then push the
Save button to store your change.
The display will show two zeroes
and blinking dots to indicate that
you’re back at function 00. If you
don’t make any changes in about 15
seconds, the display will revert to 00
