CongratulationsonyourpurchaseoftheRocktronMIDIMate™!
The MIDI Mate™ provides many different features and modes of opera-
tion. Its modes of operation range from very simple (transmitting a single
programchangeon a single MIDIchannel)tocomplex (such as transmit-
ting six program changes on six separate MIDI channels, five control
changeson fiveseparateMIDIchannelsand acontinuouscontrolchange
on a separate MIDI channel). The MIDI Mate™ is capable of sending
threedifferentkinds of MIDIcommandson a specifiedMIDIchannel to
anyMIDIdevice.
To use the MIDI Mate™ to its full potential requires some under-
standingof MIDIcommands and specifications.
MIDI MIDI standsforMusicalInstrumentDigitalInterface,and isan
industrystandardsystemforcommunicationbetweenmusicalequipment.
Some MIDI devices only transmit MIDI messages, these are calledtrans-
mitters. There are other MIDI devices which can only receive MIDI
messages, these are called receivers. In addition, there are also MIDI
devices that both receive and transmit MIDI messages which can be called
receivers or transmitters. A receiver may be thought of as a MIDI "ear",
that is to say that it listens but never speaks. A MIDI transmittermay be
thought of as a MIDI "mouth", that is to say it speaks, but never listens. A
device that canboth transmit and receiveMIDI may be thoughtof as having
a MIDI "ear" and a MIDI "mouth" that allows it to both listen and speak.
A very simple MIDI setup requires only that there be aMIDI transmitter
and a MIDI receiver - one to speak and one to listen. More complex MIDI
setupsmay have devices that speak and listen to each other at the same
time. The MIDI Mate™ is a MIDItransmitter, capable of changing
parameters on MIDI receivers.
MIDI Channel
A MIDI channel is simply a way of encoding a command so that
multiple devices may talk to each other using the same physical wires.
Unlessmessagesareencodedforthesamechannel,thetransmitted
message will be ignored by the receiving device. By encoding signals in
this manner, the MIDI Mate™ can tell a particular receiving device to
perform a certain task while simultaneously telling a different receiving
Introduction

MIDI Mate™ Manual
device to do something else. Each receiving device only acts on the com-
mandintended forit.
MIDI Commands
Themostcommon type of MIDIcommandistheMIDIprogram
change (often called a patch change). This command is intended to recall the
programmed settings of a receiving device. A programmable device, such as
theRocktronProGAP™guitarpreamp,mayhaveparameterssuchasthegain
set to 40, the bass level set to 5dB, and the output level set to 10dB. These
settings can then be stored in preset #10. Each time the ProGAP™ receives
program change 10, these settings are recalled.
Another type of MIDI command is theMIDI control change. This
command is used to set a single parameter on a receiving unit to a specific
value. The preset of the receiving device is not changed, only the value of
the specified parameter. The specified parameter on the receiving device is
mapped to a number called acontrol number. A transmitting device sending
a control change will specify the MIDI channel, the control number, and the
value that the specified parameter should change to, or thecontroller value.
The controller value is a number from 0 to 127 that the receiving device
attaches to an actual parameter value.
How a device responds to a MIDI control change depends on both the
device and the parameter. Some devices will not understand a MIDI control
change and will simply ignore it. Other devices, like the Rocktron
ProGAP™, will respond to MIDI control changes. All of the parameters that
determinethesound of theProGAP™can be adjustedthroughMIDI control
changes. The ProGAP™ has 64 values for each parameter with each
parameter value corresponding to a different controller value. A convenient
way to perform MIDI control changes on these parameters is to use a
continuous controller. An expression pedal, volume pedal, fader, or any
potentiometer that can be plugged into the MIDI Mate™ qualifies as a
continuous controller. As the continuous controller resistance is changed, a
new controller value is sent to the receiving device. For example, if an
expression pedal is plugged into the MIDI Mate™, the pedal control number
is set to 10, and the ProGAP™'s output level is mapped to control number
10, moving the pedal back and forth causes the output level to change. To
achieve this, all that must be done is to match control numbers between the
parameter of the receiving device and the pedal of the transmitting device. It
isimportanttorememberthattheMIDIchannelsofthetransmittingand
receiving devices must also match.

3
The loop and controls on the Rocktron ProGAP™ can be changed
through MIDI control changes as well. Since the loop and controls can have
only an on or off status, they are conveniently called on/off controllers. For
on/off controllers, a control change command with a controller value of less
than 64 is interpreted to be off. A value greater than 63 is interpreted to be
on.

To start using the MIDI Mate™ right away, use a 5 pin MIDI connec-
torandplugoneendintotheMIDIOUTjackof the MIDI Mate™. Plug the
other end into the MIDI IN jack of a MIDI receiving device. Plug the adaptor
supplied with the MIDI Mate™ into the POWER jack of the MIDI Mate™.
Plug the adaptor into a nearby compatible wall socket.

(Any program that starts with the same first 2 numbers may be chosen with
the touch of a single button)
WhileinBankmode(2NDLEDoff),theusermaychangepresets
within the current bank (bank numbers are 0 - 12). For example, the MIDI
Mate™ powers on in bank "0". By touching a button while the"Rocktron

button is released, the selected bank number will flash on and off. At this
point button numbers 2 thru 9 may be pressed to send the corresponding
MIDI program change. The 2ND LED does not need to be turned off unless
preset change 0 or 1 within the chosen bank is desired. This cuts down on
the number of buttons needed to be pressed while in the Bank access mode.

(Changes to any program from 01 to 99 with the touch of 2 buttons)
The Instant mode allows the user to instantly change presets with the
touch of two buttons. First be sure the INSTANT LED is lit, and the 2ND
LED is off. Now press any combination of two buttons to change to the
correspondingprogram. Forexample,by pressing button 0 andthenbutton
1, the MIDI Mate™ will transmit program change 1. By pressing the 9 button
twice, the MIDI program change 99 will be sent, and so on. The bank "á"
and "â" function works in the Instant mode the same as it works in the Bank
mode, thereby allowing access to presets 100 thru 128 while in the Instant
mode.

CONTROLLER ACCESS
(To send a single MIDI on/off control change command with the touch of a
button)
The Controller access mode allows for the use of on/off MIDI control
changes. Buttons 5-9 on the MIDI Mate™ may be assigned to a control
number, and when that button is pressed a MIDI control change will be
transmittedcorrespondingto the assigned controlnumber. Acommonuse for
this feature is to have direct remote control over another device's parameters
withoutchangingpresets. Forexample,the Rocktron ProGAP™hasMIDI
controllable control functions and a loop. If the ProGAP™ 's loop is set to
control number 9, and button 5 on the MIDI Mate™ is set to control number
9, the ProGAP™ loop can now be turned on or off by pressing button 5 on
the MIDI Mate™ . This cuts down on the number of presets needed because
now presets do not need to be duplicated (for example, one with the loop on
and one with the loop off).
The status of the parameter that is being turned on/off by the MlDI
Mate™ is stored by the MlDI Mate™ also, thereby sending the correct MIDI
control change command (on or off) when the program is changed. For every
button assigned to a control number, a control change will be sent every time
the preset is changed. For example, if buttons 5, 6, 7 and 8 are set to control
numbers 11, 12, 13 and 14 respectively, every time a program change is
madefourMIDIcontrolchangecommands(controlchanges11,12,13,14)
would be sent on the corresponding MIDI channels. These four control
changes would send the status (on/off) of the controls that were last stored for
that preset. To store a controller"On", make sure that the CONTROLLER
Access LED is lit, and that the corresponding MIDI channel is not set to
"Off", then press the button of the assigned control number so that the LED
above the button is lit. A lit LED above the button means the controller is on,
and an unlit LED above the button means the controller is off. Set the control
status for all the assigned buttons in this fashion. For buttons not assigned to
a control number, the LED above them will not light. Once all the LEDs are
set to represent the correct status (on or off) of all assigned controllers, then
this status can be stored with the current preset by first pressing the 2ND
button so that the 2ND LED lights. Then press the STORE button."Stored"
will flash briefly on the display showing that the current status has been
stored. (This is the only function for the STORE button.)
Buttons 0-4 may be used to change presets while in the Controller

MIDI Mate™ Manual
The editing features of the MIDI Mate™ are designed to be helpful
byincorporatingscrollingmessages and requiring the leastnumberofbuttons
to press as possible. The MIDI Mate™ automatically stores the choices that
the user makes to make it easier for the user to edit parameters. The STORE
button does not store the choices in the editing mode - it has no function in the
editing mode. The parameters which can be edited include: titles, MIDI
channels, assignable controller numbers and additional patch changes. The
MIDIMate™ incorporatesaunique editingfeatureusing theEDITPRESET
SELECT buttons. These buttons allow the user to change the preset that is
beingeditedwithout leaving theeditingmode.
Anytimethatthe2NDLEDislit,theEDITPRESETSELECTbuttons
will increment ("á") or decrement ("â") the current preset by one. These
buttons may also be held down to scroll through the presets. This feature
allows the user to enter the edit mode, do all the editing necessary for all the
presets, then exit the edit mode with the least number of buttons pressed. The
editing is divided into four sections - "Titles", "MIDI Channels", "Controller
Assignment" and "Program Changes" - and can be accessed while in any
access mode. The editing functions are accessible by pressing theEDIT
FUNCTION SELECT "ß" and "à" buttons. The editing parameters can be
adjustedbyusingtheBANK (ADJUST)"á"and"â"buttons.
The editing mode may be initiated in any of the access modes by
pressing the 2ND button so that the 2ND LED is lit. Then press theEDIT
FUNCTION SELECT "à" button. "Title Edit" will scroll across the dis-
play. If theEDIT FUNCTION SELECT "à" button is pressed a second time
before the scrolling is complete, "MIDI Channels" will scroll across the
display. If theEDIT FUNCTION SELECT "à" button is pressed a third
time before the scrolling is complete, "Controller Assignment" will scroll
across the display. And if theEDIT FUNCTION SELECT "à" button is
pressed a fourth time before the scrolling is complete, "Programmable
Patch Changes" will scroll across the display, thereby completing the cycle
of all four editing sections.
