MIDI Usage
The Switch Gizmo can receive MIDI messages from any MIDI
controller. You can store different switch settings for MIDI program
numbers 1 through 128 in MIDI banks 0 and 1. When a Program

Gizmo will automatically recall the saved settings for the given

3. Hold down the Write button on the Switch Gizmo until the
LEDs flash. This should take about 3 seconds.
That’s all it takes. You can repeat this for any or all of MIDI program
numbers 1 though 128.
If the lights don’t flash after a few seconds of holding down the Write
button, it means that your Switch Gizmo did not receive the MIDI
Program Change message. Check your MIDI cable connection, and
make sure that the MIDI controller and Switch Gizmo are set to the
same MIDI channel.
Now that your settings have been saved, you can recall your settings
by using your MIDI controller to send a Program Change message
again. The Switch Gizmo will call up your saved settings and set your
