8.2 MIDI implementation chart / controller list
In addition to controlling all switching functions via sending MIDI program
changes, you can also change the parameters of every single editing
function of the amp in real time via sending MIDI control changes. The
following chart shows the editable functions and the corresponding
controller numbers:

the volume parameter is changed or the amp is re-started.

8.3 Factory Reset
A factory reset is a seldom-needed feature. Nonetheless, please read these
instructions carefully to ensure you don't accidentally delete your presets.
You can perform a factory reset by doing the following:
Press "Store" and "FX Access" simultaneously while powering the amp
up by using the Power/On switch. Both buttons will flash three times to
indicate the successful factory reset.
Caution: Please note that this procedure is a last-resort option. It will
reset all settings, including the 128 MIDI-switchable presets (chapter 2)
and the basic MIDI configuration (chapter 8.1).

9 AES
(EU version only)
Referred to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1275/2008,
electrical and electronic devices need to be equipped
with an energy saving mechanism which automatically
switches the device off after not being used for a certain
period of time. On your GrandMeister 36, this mechanism is called AES.
It can be activated and deactivated with the mini switch right next to the
speaker jack.
Factory default is AES on; the mini switch is in the left position. In this
mode, the amp will automatically be switched off after a phase of silence
of about 90 minutes. The phase of silence is reset and starts again, as soon
as the amp receives an input signal (e.g. by playing a note). A quite gentle
signal is enough to trigger the re-start of the 90 minutes phase of silence
until the amp will switch off automatically. After automatically being shut
down by AES, the amp can be switched back on by flipping the Power/
On switch off and then on again.
Moving the mini switch to the right will deactivate AES, so it will not shut
down the amp.
