MIDI program changes can be received on any MIDI channel to select
different reverb settings on the 290. The 290's MIDI channel is set by
doing the following:
• Simultaneously press and hold the [DARK] and [BRIGHT] Color but-
tons until their respective LEDs light.
• The current MIDI channel setting is displayed using the reverb
Type and Size LEDs in the following manner:
To change the currently selected MIDI channel:
• Select one of the three Size buttons.
• Select one of the six Type buttons for the new desired channel.
The 290 pauses briefly to show your selection and then returns to
normal operation mode.
Once the MIDI channel is correctly set, the 290 will respond to
Continuous Controller and Program Change commands. To allow differ-
ent reverb decay times using MIDI, the 290 responds to MIDI Continuous
Controller #1 on the selected MIDI channel. The 290 has 12 different
decay times (actual decay times depend on the reverb Type and Size
selected) that can be selected using these specific Continuous Controller
values:
