[. . . ] After pressing the CONFIG button, pressing the VALUE buttons will select the available choices. When in the PROGRAM mode, this is button 6 of the keypad for selecting a program by directly entering the desired program number. MOD/7 When in the EDIT mode, the MOD button lets you control various MIDIVERB III parameters isuch as Reverb Decay Time or Reverb Level in real time from a MIDI controller like the pitchwheel, mod wheel, keyboard aftertouch, keyboard note value, keyboard velocity, sustain pedal, breath controller, or volume control on a synthesizer or other MIDI device. After pressing the MOD button, pressing the VALUE buttons selects the available choices. When in the PROGRAM mode, this is button 7 of the keypad for selecting a program by directly entering the desired program number. MIDI/8 12 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS When in the EDIT mode, the MIDI button is used to select the send and receive channel for the MIDIVERB III. Pressing the MIDI button a second time selects if the MIDIVERB III will accept MIDI Program Change commands. Pressing the MIDI button a third time selects the ECHO On or Off function. This will echo any MIDI information that the MIDIVERB III receives at its MIDI input (except for system exclusive messages that are specifically for the MIDIVERB III) back out its MIDI output. The MIDI button can also be used to transmit MIDIVERB III programs 100 through 199 via MIDI system exclusive. The MIDI functions are global functions and are not stored with an individual program. When in the PROGRAM mode, this is button 8 of the keypad for selecting a program by directly entering the desired program number. MIDI MAPPING The next two buttons control what is known as MIDI program MAPPING, which means that a MIDI program change number can be mapped to select any of the MIDIVERB III's programs. For example, without MIDI program MAPPING, selecting MIDI program 23 from an external MIDI device would select program 23 on the MIDIVERB III. With MIDI MAPPING, selecting MIDI program 23 on an external MIDI device could be set to select any program on the MIDIVERB III. The MIDI MAPPING functions are global functions and are not stored with an individual program. MIDI PROG/9 Part of the MIDI program MAPPING section when in the EDIT mode, the MIDI PROGram button selects a MIDI program number from 000 through 127 that will be received by the MIDIVERB III from an external MIDI controller. When in the PROGRAM mode, this is button 9 of the keypad for selecting a program by directly entering the desired program number. INT. PROG/0 13 SECTION 2 The other half of the MIDI program MAPPING section when in the EDIT mode, the INT. PROG (Internal Program) button selects the internal MIDIVERB III program (from 000 to 199) that will be chosen by the external MIDI program number that is selected by the MIDI PROG button. When in the PROGRAM mode, this is button 0 of the keypad for selecting a program by directly entering the desired program number. BYPASS The BYPASS button bypasses the effects of the MIDIVERB III and supplies only Direct Signal Level to the stereo outputs. BYPASS is also connected to the Bypass Jack on the rear panel and can be activated by a momentary footswitch. BACKPANEL INPUT JACKS (Left & Right) Accepts from musical instrument to line level input signals. Use the Right Input Jack for mono. OUTPUT JACKS (Left & Right) Stereo output of the MIDIVERB III. Use the Right Output Jack for mono. MIDI IN JACK Receives all MIDI information. MIDI OUT/THRU JACK 14 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS Retransmits MIDI information received by MIDIVERB III to other MIDI units if the MIDI ECHO function is enabled. Also used as a MIDI OUT jack for MIDI system exclusive data dumps. BYPASS JACK The BYPASS jack bypasses the effects of the MIDIVERB III and supplies only Direct Signal Level to the stereo outputs. When the signal is bypassed, the BYPASS LED on the front panel will light. [. . . ] The numeric display will read "Snd" to indicate that MIDI Send is enabled. Snd 49 SECTION 4 2) Press the STORE button, which causes MIDIVERB III's entire memory to be sent out via MIDI to an external storage device like an Alesis DATADISK or another MIDIVERB III. The display will read "____" while sending the data, which will take about 1 second, after which it will return to "Snd". --- RECEIVING PROGRAMS VIA MIDI 1) At any time, the MIDIVERB III can receive MIDI Program Data (known as a Sysex dump). The display will read "____" while receiving the MIDI data, which will take about 10 seconds due to the time required to store 100 programs. --MIDI MAPPING The next two buttons control what is known as MIDI program MAPPING, which means that a single MIDI program number can be programmed to select any of the MIDIVERB III's programs. For example, without MIDI program MAPPING, selecting MIDI program 23 from an external MIDI device would select program 23 on the MIDIVERB III. [. . . ]
