Heads up: A factory reset also resets Bluetooth, so you will have to
reconnect the amp.
5 Bluetooth audio streaming: You can stream audio to your Black Spirit
200 Floor to play along to your favorite songs. The Aux In signal is routed
in full-fledged stereo quality to the Phones/Line output, and in mono to
the Speaker Out when it is set to Fullrange Cab (see section 4.1 to learn
more). This lets you connect your home stereo system to the Phones out.
You can even plug straight into a passive PA speaker to jam with any track
that strikes your fancy – no outboard mixer required.
7 MIDI
If you wish to control Black Spirit 200 Floor via MIDI, the controller
sending MIDI commands and the amp receiving these commands have to
be on the same MIDI channel. The amp ships with MIDI channel 1 and
Omni On activated. If Black Spirit 200 Floor does not respond properly to
program change messages, change the MIDI channel setting.
7.1 Setting MIDI channels and switching
Omni On/Off
Press and hold FX Access and FX Loop simultaneously for three seconds.
The Store button will light up. This assigns special programming functions
to the following LEDs and buttons:
• Boost lights up to indicate Black Spirit 200 Floor is configured to
receive incoming program changes via all MIDI channels. Omni On is
the default. If the LED does not light up, the amp receives messages via
the selected channel only (Omni Off). Simply press the Boost button to
switch Omni modes.
• FX Loop now serves as a +1/up button, while FX Access now serves as a
-1/down button. Use these buttons to change the MIDI channel.
• When configuring MIDI channels, the four Channel LEDs serve to
indicate the MIDI channels. Consult the table below for the MIDI channel
assignments. They show what in tech-speak is called binary code:

Press and hold the Store button for three seconds to save the settings and
quit MIDI setup mode. The amp is now back in normal
operating mode.
7.2 Global Settings
If you press the Store and FX Loop buttons simultaneously for three
seconds, the Store button will start flashing. The following LEDs and
buttons on the amp will then serve special programming purposes:
• FX Access: This indicates the status of Global EQ mode. The button
lights up when Global EQ mode is active. To deactivate it, press the FX
Access button again.
• FX Loop: This indicates the status of Global Cabinet Type mode. The
button lights up when Global Cabinet Type mode is active. To deactivate
it, press FX Loop again.
Press and hold the Store button for three seconds to save your settings
and quit Global Settings mode. The amp is now back in normal operating
mode.
