Changing the 8-STEP’s MIDI Channel
1. Press and hold the RESET FSW. After 3 seconds you will see the GL and SL LEDs
blink, while the DIR LED is off. At this point the current MIDI channel is
displayed on the digit display.
2. While continuing to hold down the RESET FSW, turn the MODE knob clockwise to
increment the MIDI channel and counter-clockwise to decrement the MIDI
channel.
3. The range of available channels is 1 through 16 plus a setting displayed as A
where all MIDI channels are recognized. Since there is only one digit available on
the display, the digit’s decimal LED lights up to indicate the tens placeholder. So
Channel 12 is shown by displaying the number 2 plus the decimal LED: (2.) .
Channel 2 would be shown by displaying only the number 2 (2) .
4. To enable all MIDI channels, turn MODE clockwise past Channel 16. An A will be
displayed on the digit, now all MIDI channels are recognized.
5. Once you have selected your chosen MIDI channel, release the RESET FSW. The
MIDI channel selection remains in memory even after power cycling.
6. The MIDI channel is a global parameter; it is not saved with presets.
