6.1.4 Switching External Devices via the
FSM 432, Setting the MIDI Send Channel
If you wish to switch devices connected to
– say, a MIDI effect device – using the FSM 432, ensure the effect
device is set to the FSM 432's MIDI Channel or to
device's manual for more info.
To set the FSM 432's MIDI Send Channel, proceed as follows:
• Turn
on while pressing the FSM 432's
SWITCHBLADE
button. The display flashes.
• Release button A. Use
to a number between 1 and 16.
• Quit and store by pressing the
Caution: If SWITCHBLADE and FSM 432 are not set to the same
MIDI channel, the amp will not respond to program changes!
Activating OMNI solves the problem in the event of an "emergency."
See chapter 6.2 to learn more.
Note: If an external effect device is connected to MIDI THRU and
you want to switch Switchblade and the effect device simultaneously
with the same program change command, you must configure
Switchblade's Store function and program this device accordingly.
Note: The table above should be big help if you wish to switch the
Presets of a device connected to the MIDI THRU directly via the
FSM 432. It shows the program changes sent by the bank/preset
combination. Please bear in mind that some MIDI devices switch
program 1 via program change command 0. If this is the case with
your outboard gear, simply add a 1 to each value indicated in this
table to activate the desired program.
