MP-201 User’s Manual Introduction Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the MP-201 Multi-Pedal. The MP-201 Multi-Pedal is an advanced four-channel CV/MIDI footpedal controller. The analog CV control outputs consist of four 1⁄4” jacks located on the back of the unit. The MIDI I/O consists of both USB and DIN MIDI connectors. The signals at the outputs are determined by the settings of the four Control Channels, each programmed in a Preset.
MP-201 User’s Manual Overview and Features The MP-201 Multi-Pedal has 4 analog Control Voltage (CV) outputs and USB/ standard MIDI connectors that can transmit or receive controller information on up to 4 MIDI channels simultaneously. Each CV output can be individually programmed as an analog CV with +/- 5V limits, or a Gate trigger (0V - 5V).
MP-201 User’s Manual Here’s a brief look at the MP-201 front and back panel controls and functions: Front Panel: 1. VALUE encoder/Encoder Pushswitch - The VALUE encoder selects presets and is used to navigate through editing screens. Rotating the VALUE encoder changes presets, parameters and values. Pressing the Encoder Pushswitch moves the cursor. 2. Two-line LCD Display (16 characters/line) 3. EDIT and ENTER/STORE Buttons - for editing and storing Presets.
MP-201 User’s Manual 6. Four Footswitch LED indicators. The Bi-color LED indicators are used to display the current ON/OFF state of the four outputs (Red LEDs) and the current level of the outputs (Amber LEDs). 7. MIDI LED - Indicates MIDI Input activity when lit. NOTE: The chart on page 16 details the function of the panel controls in all modes of operation, and is a handy reference for learning how to navigate through the MP-201’s functions. Back Panel: 1.
MP-201 User’s Manual Instant Gratification Follow these steps to experience some of what the MP-201 Multi-Pedal can do. Unpack and set up the Multi-Pedal. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the POWER IN jack on the back of the Multi-Pedal, and then make additional connections as shown. For CV connections, use a standard 1⁄4“ patch cord. For MIDI connections, use a standard MIDI DIN cable For Analog CV Control 1.
MP-201 User’s Manual 3. On the Multi-Pedal, use the VALUE encoder to select Preset 00 ‘EXPRESSR’. The Multi-Pedal LCD should appear as shown below. The Multi-Pedal is now configured as a standard expression pedal with a Control Voltage (CV) range of 0 to +5V. If you are connected to a Voyager or Little Phatty, playing the keyboard while adjusting the footpedal will open and close the filter.
MP-201 User’s Manual 2. On the Multi-Pedal, use the VALUE encoder to select Preset 33, ‘MIDI CCs’. The Multi-Pedal LCD should appear as shown below. The Multi-Pedal is now configured as an expression pedal that is setup to transmit MIDI CC messages for Mod Wheel (CC#1), Breath (CC#2), Volume (CC#7) and FootCtl (CC#4) on MIDI Channel 1.
MP-201 User’s Manual Presets Defined A Preset is a collection of four programmed Control Channels (see figure below). Each channel can be programmed to specify a Control Voltage (CV), a MIDI Continuous Controller message, or both. There are a total of 50 presets available (Preset #00-49). Presets can be named (8 characters max.), and each Channel in a Preset can have it’s own name (8 characters max).
MP-201 User’s Manual Controllers and Control Signals A controller is a device that does not make any sound on its own, but is used to control another sound producing device (like a synthesizer), or a sound altering device (such as an effects module). Some devices respond to analog control signals, called Control Voltages (CVs) and Gates, and some devices respond to digital control messages through MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) commands.
MP-201 User’s Manual trills, or slow rhythmic sweeps, while oscillations in the audio range can be used to create truly wild sonic effects, including frequency modulation (FM), amplitude modulation (AM), and timbre modulation. A CV can also be a randomly generated signal. If it is continuously random, it is called Noise, similar to the static white noise that can be picked up on an analog radio tuned between stations.
MP-201 User’s Manual MIDI MIDI was developed as a standard way of communicating control signals digitally for musical devices or software across a MIDI or USB cable. Standard MIDI cables use 5-pin DIN connectors, and each cable can send MIDI data (MIDI OUT) or receive MIDI Data (MIDI IN). USB Cables combine both MIDI In and MIDI Out functions. MIDI data is sent as Messages. There are two categories of messages: Channel messages and System Messages.
MP-201 User’s Manual Operating Modes The controls on the Multi-Pedal perform multiple functions as indicated on the front panel of the unit. In order to organize these functions into logical groups, the MultiPedal uses the concept of ‘Operating Modes’.

MP-201 User’s Manual Quad Channel Mode Quad Channel Mode (QD) provides access to controlling all four channels at the same time. Each footswitch controls the ON/OFF state of the channel indicated by the Channel number. The movement of the footpedal will affect any of the Channels that are ON in the manner defined by the Channel Mode and settings of the Channels in the preset. Quad Channel Mode provides: - instant access to turning any of the four channels ON/OFF.
MP-201 User’s Manual Edit Mode Edit Mode allows you to edit the parameters of a Preset. Edit Mode can be entered from Single Channel Mode or Quad Channel Mode simply by pressing EDIT or by pressing FS2 & FS4 simultaneously. In Edit Mode, the VALUE Encoder or footswitches 1 & 2 (FS1 and FS2) are used to scroll through the edit menus. In any menu, pressing the Encoder pushswitch or FS4 moves the cursor to the bottom line of the LCD, where you can change the edit value using the VALUE Encoder.
MP-201 User’s Manual Edit Mode Menus The menu trees shown on the following pages will assist you in navigating through the available Preset editing parameters.

MP-201 User’s Manual Storing Presets The STORE function is used to save an edited Preset in Edit Mode (SAVE PRESET) or Performance Mode (SAVE PANEL). When a Preset is stored in Edit Mode, the store operation only overwrites values that have been actively edited.
MP-201 User’s Manual Low Frequency Oscillator Parameters The LFOs in the MP-201 offer a wide variety of options for control. This section will provide the in-depth information you need to know in order to program and use the LFOs effectively. LFO WAVEFORMS The LFOs in the MP-201 offer a choice of five different waveforms, plus noise. Several of these waveforms are ideal for producing familiar modulation effects, while others permit more exotic possibilities.
MP-201 User’s Manual LFO SYNC The LFO SYNC parameter allows you to select the synchronization source of the LFO. The values are FREE RUNNING, TAP TEMPO, CH1–CH4 and MIDI CLOCK. The default value is FREE RUNNING, which means that the LFO is not synced to another source. When TAP TEMPO is selected, the LFO will sync to and follow the TAP TEMPO rate. This allows you to tap out a new tempo at any time and have the LFO follow the new tempo. NOTE: To enter Tap Tempo mode, double-tap footswitch 4 (FS4).

MP-201 User’s Manual LFO OFFSET The LFO OFFSET parameter sets the initial offset of the LFO when a Preset is called up. If the footpedal is programmed to control the Offset (FPEDAL MODE = OFFSET), then the initial LFO Offset value will be overridden as soon as the pedal is moved. When FPEDAL MODE = OFFSET, the actual offset range is specified by the programmed HEEL and TOE values for the selected Channel.
MP-201 User’s Manual MIDI Implementation The MP-201 offers a wealth of possibilities as a MIDI controller. This section covers the MIDI configuration, as well as the MIDI Output and Input possibilities of the device. When using the MP-201 as a MIDI controller, the first thing that must be done is configure the MIDI Setup. On the MP-201 you can enable/disable both the DIN and USB MIDI connections, as well as assign MIDI Merge functions for these connectors.
MP-201 User’s Manual If that same MP-201 channel is set to LFO Mode and the MP-201 Channel is ON then the incoming MIDI CCs will affect the output based on the Footpedal Mode (Rate, Amount, or Offset). When the MP-201 channel is OFF, the LFO Off Mode (Initial, Current, Continuous) determines what happens at the output in response to MIDI CCs. If the same Channel is set to Gate mode, then a MIDI CC#1 with a value of ‘127’ at the MIDI In will turn the Gate ON (+5V) at the analog output.
MP-201 User’s Manual The MP-201 can receive and transmit MIDI Clock Messages. In order to sync a MP201 LFO to a tempo using MIDI Clock Messages, the LFO Sync must be set to MIDI CLOCK (see page 27). When set to sync to incoming MIDI Clock messages, an LFO is only started by a Real Time Start message and can be stopped by a Real Time Stop message. With no MIDI Clock signals applied, the LFO does not run. A MP-201 Channel, when set to LFO Mode, can act as a source for MIDI Clock Messages.
