MIDI Channel Switching
The Blackfire 200 offers the ability to control channel selection via MIDI Program
Change messages and interfacing with most MIDI controllers is a straight
forward process. The Blackfire 200 can be placed in a MIDI chain allowing you to
simultaneously select a channel on the amplifier and change the patch on a MIDI
effects processor connected to the effects loop. There are 128 available Program
Changes, giving you the possibility to access a vast number of tonal combinations.
To set-up MIDI channel switching, simply connect the MIDI controller's MIDI Out
socket to the MIDI In socket on the rear of the amplifier. The controller should be
set to transmit Program Change messages (this is usually the case). From new,
a Blackfire 200 amplifier is set to OMNI mode and responds to Program Change
messages on all MIDI channels. Changing 'patches' on the controller will change
the selected channel on the amp. The default settings for each Program Change
number are shown in the table below:

1. The amp must be powered on with either the Standby switch set to on, a jack
in the Input socket, or both.
2. Send the appropriate Program Change message to the amp.
3. Press and hold in the appropriate front panel Channel Select switch for
2 seconds.
The corresponding channel will be selected and its LED will flash three times in quick
succession to indicate it has been assigned to the last received Program Change.
The amplifier will now remember the selection. Repeat the operation until all your
Program Changes have the desired amp channel assigned to them.
MIDI Receive Channel Selection
As mentioned previously, the default mode is set to OMNI and the amplifier will
respond to MIDI Program Changes on all MIDI channels. You may wish to set
the amplifier to respond to Program Changes on just a single MIDI channel. The
Blackfire 200 can be set to respond in this way for any of the first seven MIDI
channels as follows:
1. The unit must be in standby (Power (34) on and Standby (33) off), and no lead
connected to the Input jack.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the Clean (3) and FIRE (17) Select switches.
3. After 2 seconds the LED for FURY (20) will begin to flash continuously (2 flashes
per second) to indicate that the unit is in MIDI Receive Channel Program Mode.
4. Release the Clean (3) and FIRE (17) Select switches and select the required MIDI
channel by using the Channel Select switches as shown in the table below:
Clean Crunch Fire MIDI CHANNEL
OFF OFF OFF OMNI
ON OFF OFF 1
OFF ON OFF 2
ON ON OFF 3
OFF OFF ON 4
ON OFF ON 5
OFF ON ON 6
ON ON ON 7
The corresponding Channel Select LEDs will illuminate to show the selection and
each press of the Channel Select switches will toggle the state of its associated
LED.
5. To store the desired selection press the FURY (21) Select switch. The FURY (20)
Select LED will flash quickly four times when the operation is complete. The unit
will then revert to normal operation, and will respond only to Program Changes
on the newly selected MIDI Channel.
