OPERATION Operating Mode The RP93s switch settings, once pre-programmed, are recalled via MIDI Program Change information and are then shown on the front panel display. The Program Change information must be sent on a MIDI Channel that matches the Channel of the RP93s. � The factory setting for the MIDI Channel Number is "omni" or channels 1 - 16. � The factory setting for all RP93s presets is all Switches and FX Loops OFF. � While in Programmed Operation mode, pressing the UP or DOWN button will increment or decrement the display and the switch setting presets. Pressing and holding the UP or DOWN button will cause the display to increment rapidly, but the switch and FX loop settings will not change until the button is released. Pressing a SWITCH or LOOP button will alternate the on or off state of the associated switch or FX loop port. Changing the state of a port in this way does not affect the programmed setting for the displayed Program Number. The 8 front panel LEDs always show the current state of the switch and FX loop ports. Program Numbers 100 - 128 will show a 00 - 28 along with a dot in the lower right of the tens digit to indicate the 100s. There is no program number 0, and 1 - 9 are displayed as single digits. DEVICE CONNECTION The FX loops have an input, 4 sets of sends and returns and an output. These may be used to control the presence of foot pedals, rack processors, other instruments, etc. in the signal path. These may also be used as a 4-way A/B box by connecting to the FX returns only and using the Main Out as the output. Since the RP93s is passive in its signal path (all switching is done with relays), the signal may go either way. This means the RP93s may also send a single signal to up to 4 different amplifiers. There is no change of interference or crosstalk because the switches are contact closure between the tip and sleeve of the 1/4" connectors. There is no connection between the different switches. LEARN MODE Changes to the Switch and FX Loop settings for each Program Number settings are all made and stored in Learn Mode. Setting the MIDI Channel, and utilizing the RFX MIDI Test Mode are also done in Learn Mode. ENTERING LEARN MODE � The RP93 enters Learn Mode by pressing both UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously, and holding them down for approximately 5 seconds. When in Learn Mode, the numeric desplay blinks. Please note that in Learn Mode,
no MIDI data is processed by the RP93s but data will continue to pass to the MIDI Through port. MODIFYING PRESETS � Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons will increment and decrement the display of the Program Number. As in Operating Mode, changing the Program Number with the UP and DOWN buttons will cause the stored switch and FX loop settings to be engaged. � Pressing a switch or LOOP button will alternate the on or off state of the associated switch or FX loop port. Changing the state of a port in this way does not affect the programmed setting for the displayed Program Number (until the STORE button is pressed). The state of a switch or FX loop port is indicated by the LEDs. � When the desired setting is shown on the LEDs, press STORE. This will save the current setting of the switch and FX loop ports for the displayed Program Number. The display will blank momentarily during the storing operation. CHANGING THE MIDI CHANNEL In order for a Program Change commant to affect the switch and FX loop settings, the proper MIDI channel must be set. � To set the MIDI Channel, enter Learn Mode. Press the DOWN button until 01 is displayed, then press once more - an oF appres in the display. To set a specific MIDI Channel, press the DOWN button until the desired channel is displayed. For Omni mode, continue pressing the DOWN button until "on" is displayed, for all off mode, leave "oF" displayed. � To enable the setting you have chosen, press the STORE button. � To return to programming the Program Numbers, press the UP or DOWN buttons until the Program Numbers are again displayed. RESTORING DEFAULT SETTINGS � To restore the factory presets, press and hold Switch 1 and Switch 2 simultaneously for 5 seconds. The display will show FP during the reset operation. The RP93s will remain in Learn Mode after the default settings have been restored. RETURNING TO OPERATING MODE � To return to normal operation mode, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons again (same as entering Learn Mode) for 5 seconds. Note: Any settings that have not been stored will be lost.
