Pulling and releasing the trigger quickly will toggle between the different

programming modes:

Green Debounce

Purple Dwell

Yellow Loader delay

Blue AMB (anti-mechanical bounce)

Red ABS dwell

White Fire mode

Teal Fire mode max rate of fire

Flickering Green Eye mode

Flickering Purple CPF (cycle percentage filter)

Flickering Yellow Ramp start

Flickering Blue Gangster mode

When the LED is lit for the desired setting, press and hold the trigger until the

LED goes out. When you release the trigger, the LED will blink to show the

current setting. For example, if the current setting for debounce is 5, the LED will

blink green 5 times. Once the LED stops blinking, you have 2 seconds to begin

entering the new setting.

To enter the new setting, pull the trigger the desired number of times. For example,

to set the debounce to 2, you must pull the trigger 2 times. Every time you pull the

trigger the LED will light. After all settings have been changed, turn the marker

off, using the power button.

Programming Example

If you wanted to set the dwell to 12:

1. Make sure the marker is powered off.

2. Make sure the tournament lock is disabled.

3. Pull and hold the trigger, then push the power button.

4. The programming LED shows a rainbow sequence then stops on solid

green. This is the debounce mode.

5. Quickly pull and release the trigger 1 time to switch to the dwell mode.

The LED will show purple.

6. Pull and HOLD the trigger until the LED turns off.

7. Release the trigger. The LED will blink out the current setting.

8. When the LED stops blinking, enter the new setting by pulling the

trigger 12 times.

9. Wait until the LED turns back on, indicating programming has

completed.

10. Turn the marker off using the power button.

Program Reset

To reset all settings to factory defaults hold down the lock button for 10 seconds

while in programming mode. The LED will rapidly cycle through every setting

color to indicate that the process has completed.

Settings

Debounce – The Musashi software features a hybrid debounce scheme that uses

microcontroller cycles to debounce the pull of the trigger and ½ ms time

increments to debounce the release. This results in a very effective debounce

algorithm that does not hinder the user at any setting. At low debounce settings,

however, it may cause the marker to read switch bounce as additional pulls, falsely

generating shots or near full-automatic fire. The setting ranges from 1 to 50 and is

defaulted at 10.

Dwell – Also known as “front pulse,” this is the amount of time the solenoid is

energized each time the marker is fired. The default is 14 ms. The range is 5 to 30

ms. Too low of a dwell may lead to inconsistency or drop off. Too high of a dwell

can cause bad air efficiency.

Loader Delay – Adds a slight delay after the eye has seen a ball and the bolt is

cycled, causing the gun to fire. If not using force fed loaders, it may be necessary

to increase this setting to prevent chopping. A setting of 1 means no loader delay,

which is the fastest. The default is 2 and may be set from 1 to 50.

AMB – Allows the user to adjust the anti-mechanical bounce feature. Mechanical

bounce occurs with the Matrix due to the kick generated during each shot and can

cause the marker to “run away,” firing even after the trigger has been released.

AMB helps stop markers from going full-auto when the trigger is pulled very

slowly. The default is 2 and may be set from 1 to 5 (1 being off). AMB is only

used in fire modes 1 and 2 (semi-automatic unlimited and capped).

ABS Dwell – Amount of dwell time added for an ABS shot. The range is from 1 to

15 additional milliseconds of dwell. The default is 5. Setting this to 1 turns ABS

off. For a more detailed explanation of ABS see the “Additional Features” section.

Fire Mode – Included are five different fire modes (default is 1):

1. Semi-automatic, unlimited rate of fire

2. Semi-automatic, adjustable rate of fire

3. PSP ramping, adjustable rate of fire

4. PSP burst, adjustable rate of fire

5. NXL full-automatic, adjustable rate of fire

Setting 1 is normal semi-automatic with an unlimited rate of fire while the eyes are

enabled. When the eyes are turned off, the max rate of fire is set to 20 balls per

second.

Setting 2 is semi-automatic with a capped rate of fire. It limits the maximum balls

per second that can be fired. The cap is set by the Max ROF setting.

Setting 3 is the first PSP fire mode that works as follows:

• The first 3 shots of a string are semi-automatic.

• After the 4

shot the marker will add shots as long as the user fires

faster than the ramp start setting. For example, if the ramp start setting

is 5, the user must pull 5 times per second or faster for the software to

add additional shots.

• If the trigger is released, the marker will stop firing immediately.

• If the trigger is not pulled again within 1 second of release, the 3-shot

semi-automatic count starts over.

Setting 4 is the second PSP fire mode that works as follows:

• The first 3 shots of a string are semi-automatic.

• After the 4

shot the marker will fire 2 or more shots per pull as long as

the user continually pulls and releases the trigger.

• If the trigger is released, the marker will stop firing immediately.

• If the trigger is not pulled again within 1 second of release, the 3-shot

semi-automatic count starts over.

In normal operation, continually pulling the trigger faster than 5 to 6 pulls per

second will effectively give the user full-automatic at the max rate of fire. If the

user stops shooting then resumes within 1 second, the marker will return to the

max rate of fire. If the user stops shooting for more than 1 second, the next 3 shots

will be semi-automatic. On the 4

shot it will resume a faster fire rate.

PSP ramping and PSP burst differ in that PSP ramping requires the user to

maintain the ramp start rate of fire for software assistance, whereas the PSP burst

mode will fire at least 2 shots per pull, regardless of rate of fire. Some players

prefer multiple shots every time they pull the trigger after the initial 3 semi-

automatic shots, while others like to shoot 1 ball at a time until they achieve a

certain rate of fire.

Setting 5 is the NXL full-automatic fire mode. It functions similarly to the PSP

fire modes except, after the 3

semi-automatic shot, the user may pull and hold the

trigger for the marker to fire in full-automatic.

Fire Mode Max ROF – The maximum rate of fire setting only applies to the 2

, 4

, and 5

fire modes. The max rate of fire is adjustable from 10 to 25 balls per

second in ½ balls per second increments. It also has an unlimited setting.

Oscillator inconsistencies from chip to chip make it impossible to time perfectly,

so the only true way to check rate of fire is to use a Pact Timer or ballistic

chronograph. The red radar chronographs commonly found at fields are NOT

reliable.
