Setup

The default is that channel 1-8 get controlled by control change <number> 88-95, respectively - however the setup is very flexible and any switch can be assigned to any control change <number>. To program a different control change <number>, single press the corresponding Channel Button - the related Channel LED is turned on to show that the channel is in "listening mode". As soon as the desired control change <number> is send via MIDI, the Channel LED turns off again to indicate that the control change <number> was successfully received and assigned to the selected switch. From now on the switch state can be turned on or off when receiving the new assigned control change <number> and <value>.

Proceed with the remaining channels in the same way - or long press a Channel Button to set the default for the control change <number> again.   

Short-pressing the Control Button gets you to the next Setup Mode, long-pressing quits programming and goes back to regular Midi Switch Mode operation.

3. Defining Switch Modes

In Switch Mode the Status LED flashes 3x in pink color.

There are guitar amps that get controlled by latched or momentary foot switch types. 

Dependent on your amp model you have the follwing four options:

• latched (default)

• if the Channel LED is turned on the switch is closed, if the Channel LED is turned off the switch is open.

• inverted

• if the Channel LED is turned on the switch is open, if the Channel LED is turned off the switch is closed.

• momentary

• if the switch state is changed (on <=> off), the switch is closed for a short time to issue a pulse.

• momentary init

• same as momentary but an initial pulse is send when you power on your MISWINO Midi Switch.

• If you need an initial pulse or not depends on the default state of your amp when it is powered on.

• Example: If you power your amp on and e.g. "reverb" is on by default you want to use momentary init, since MISWINO Midi Switch in this case will first send the power-on pulse (which will turn "reverb" off) and then another pulse if the setting of the channel switch is turned on (which will turn "reverb" back on) - so amp and midi switch are in sync when you power both on. 

• Note: "init" is only relevant for the two momentary modes.

The Switch Mode can be defined per channel and the corresponding Channel LED flashes a number of times depending on the selected switch mode:

• Channel LED flashing 1x for latched mode (default)

• Channel LED flashing 2x for inverted mode

• Channel LED flashing 3x for momentary mode

• Channel LED flashing 4x for momentary init mode

Long-pressing the corresponding Channel Button in this mode sets the Switch Mode back to the default, which is latched.

Short-pressing the Control Button gets you to the next Setup Mode, long-pressing quits programming and goes back to regular Midi Switch Mode operation.

4. Defining Pulse Durations

In Pulse Duration Mode the Status LED flashes 4x in pink color.

Note: The settings in this mode are only relevant for channels that are set to a momentary mode.

The default is that pulses of 100ms are generated, which should work for most of the amps with momentary foot switches.

If your amp is not responding reliably to the pulses you have the option to fine tune the pulse duration in seven steps and the Channel LED is flashing a number of times depending on the selected pulse duration:

• Channel LED flashing 1x for 10ms pulse duration

• Channel LED flashing 2x for 50ms pulse duration

• Channel LED flashing 3x for 100ms pulse duration (default)

• Channel LED flashing 4x for 200ms pulse duration

• Channel LED flashing 5x for 300ms pulse duration

• Channel LED flashing 6x for 400ms pulse duration

• Channel LED flashing 7x for 500ms pulse duration

Long-pressing the corresponding Channel Button in this mode sets the Pulse Duration back to the default, which is 100ms.

Short-pressing the Control Button gets you to the next Setup Mode, long-pressing quits programming and goes back to regular Midi Switch Mode operation.

5. Defining Switch Groups

In Switch Group Mode the Status LED flashes a number of times in green color, dependent on the corresponding switch group 1-4.

For some amps only one switch should be activated while the others are turned off (usually used for amplifier channels).

This feature allows you to define a group of switches where pressing one button of a group turns this button on while turns all other switches of the group off. 

By default no Switch Groups are definied (all Channel LEDs turned off).

To define a Switch Group short press the corresponding Channel Button - the related Channel LED will turn on.

All channels with turned on LED belong to a Switch Group.

Note: It only makes sense to turn on at least two Channel LEDs, even so only enabling one does not cause a malfunction.

If required you can define up to four Switch Groups by following the described procedure.

Note: Switch Groups do not overlap - even so it does not cause a malfunction it could lead to funny behavior when one button disables two or more switch groups :-)

Short-pressing the Control Button gets you to the next Switch Group or quits programming for the last Switch Group, long-pressing quits programming and goes back to regular Midi Switch Mode operation.
