MIDI preset 1 activates when the amp is powered up. If you want to edit and/or store
other MIDI presets, you must connect a MIDI foot board or another MIDI send device
to the port (43) and use this outboard device to select the desired MIDI preset
on the amp.
Note that the Status LED also indicates the status of components unrelated to
and . The microcontroller runs a short system check after you switch the amp on.
Should it find a defect in the memory chip (EEPROM), the LED
Press the Write/Copy copy button to confirm that you got the message. Once you have
done this, the system will be ready to run, although you may encounter problems

This red LED lights up to show is engaged, that is, the power amp is
silenced. Activate this mode via (set it to 0), a previously programmed MIDI
preset, a MIDI controller #7 command (see chapter45 to learn more) or by sending the
appropriate Z-9 command to the Serial Amp Control Port (46). Deactivate
by setting Standby (37) from to or sending the appropriate MIDI
command to the MIDI In port (43) or via the respective Z-9 command (setting )
send to the Serial Amp Control Port (46).
When programming MIDI presets,
ensure Standby switch is set to (that is, the power amp is active) if you want this
preset to disable and enable the power amp so the speaker renders your
sound. If the Standby switch is set to 0 during programming, the amp will be muted
when you select this MIDI presets precisely because the function was
enabled during programming. Therefore the power amp will not boost the signal and
the sound will not be audible over the speaker.
You cannot deactivate to activate the amp via appropriate
programmed MIDI presets, MIDI controller #7 commands or via the Z-9 when
is engaged to switch the power amp off. You must first flip the Standby switch.

this, set the Standby switch to 0 and start the programming process with the Write
button (35).
