2—System/MIDI Parameters
ENSONIQ DP/Pro Reference Manual 17
Byp A Cntlr=Off Byp B
Cntlr=Off
Values: Off; All MIDI controllers
Defaults: Off
What these Parameters Do:
The Byp A Cntlr and Byp B Cntlr parameters allow you to designate a MIDI controller for each ESP
that can be used to toggle the ESP’s bypass function on or off. An On (127) or Off (0) value for the
MIDI controller will also be transmitted from the DP/Pro each time one of the Bypass buttons is
pressed.
D e t e r m ining What Happe ns Whe n You Bypass an ESP
The DP/Pro provides a Bypass button for each ESP as a way to quickly disable it. You can also use a
dual foot switch or a MIDI controller to switch the Bypass buttons on and off (see “Setting Up Foot
Switch Controls” earlier in this chapter, and “MIDI Bypassing of the ESPs” above).
The DP/Pro allows you to determine exactly what will occur when an ESP is bypassed. There are
several possibilities, useful for different situations.
System/MIDI Parameter 64: AlgoA Bypass Btn
System/MIDI Parameter 65: AlgoB Bypass Btn
ESP-A BypassBtn=Bypass ESP-B
BypassBtn=Bypass
Values: Bypass—shuts off the audio processing being applied by the ESP, allowing dry audio to continue to
pass through.
Inp Mute—stops the inputting of audio into the ESP, allowing any signal already being processed to
finish sounding in a natural manner
Out Mute—stops the output of the ESP, instantly cutting off all audio. This setting allows you to
continue sending audio into the ESP, so that when you deactivate the bypass, any audio currently
being processed will be heard.
All Mute—stops both the input to and the output from the ESP.
Default: Bypass
What this Parameter Does:
The ESP-A Bypass Btn and ESP-B Bypass Btn parameters let you control precisely the behavior of the
ESPs when they’re bypassed.
Tip: Double-clicking either Bypass button sets the selected ESP to All Mute, regardless of the
setting of ESP-A Bypass Btn or ESP-B Bypass Btn parameters.

You can set the DP/Pro so that it will display messages informing you:
• of the current bypass state of the ESP whose Bypass button you’ve just pressed.
