MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
This amp is designed to be extremely functional with the included 10-button footswitch. The 8-pin footswitch
jack also works as a standard 5-pin MIDI input - to go along with the standard 5-pin MIDI output. There are
times when the amp will be run with other types of MIDI foot controllers, a PC in the studio, or by an automated
rack rig - or linked to another Invective via MIDI. This is the information you need to mate this amp with other
MIDI devices.
NOTE: The MIDI Out will send data to another Invective (for function sync), to a PC (for 2-way communica-
tion during remote control or preset dump), or to an effects unit in the effects loop. This jack does not act like an
Out/Thru. Data received at the MIDI In doesn't result in data on the MIDI Out unless it was a valid message for
this amp.
MIDI CC: MIDI Continuous Controllers are used to change one function at a time. After selecting a preset
(see below), modifications to that preset can be done with these messages. Making these changes on the amp or
footswitch generates these CC messages at the MIDI out.
