ADA MP-1 Owner’s manual
3.0 INITIAL SET-UP
1. Set MP-1 rear panel POWER SWITCH to OFF.
2. Connect your guitar to the front panel INPUT jack. If you are connected to a
professional mixing console, run your signal source to the LINE INPUT on the
rear panel. If both inputs are connected, only the front panel input will be
operative.
3. Connect MP-1 OUTPUTS to your amplifier or mixer inputs.
4. If MP-1 outputs are connected to a power amp or other line input, flip the top
panel slide switch towards the rear panel to the LINE position. WARNING:
Do not use LINE position when MP-1 Is connected to guitar amplifier
Inputs.
5. If using MIDI:
A. Connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI footswitch or other MIDI controller to the
MIDI IN jack on the MP-1.
B. When using a MIDI device before the MP-1 and a MIDI device following the
MP1, use the MIDI Thru jack to send the external program number. Use the MIDI
Out jack to send the MP-1's internal memory number.
C. When using the MP-1 as the first in a series of MIDI devices, use the MIDI Out
jack to send the MP-1's internal memory number.
6. If you own the optional MC-1 MIDI footswitch, connect the MIDI In Jack on the
MP-1 to the MC-1 with the MIDI CABLE. You can use a standard 5-pin MIDI cable
and plugging the AC ADAPTER into the MC-1 or you can use the ADA 7-pin
phantom MIDI CABLE and power the MC-1 thru the 7-pin cable (eliminating the
need to have AC power near the footcontroller); when using the 7-PIN CABLE the
AC ADAPTER plugs into the 9VAC/DC jack on the MP-1 rear panel.
7. If you are using effects with the MP-1, connect the EFFECTS LOOP SEND jack to
the input jack of the first effect in use.
8. Connect the EFFECTS LOOP RECEIVE jack to the output jack of the last effect in
your loop.
9. See section 3.4 for full description of correct effects loop level settings.
10. Set your effect(s) power switch to the "on" position.
11. Set MP-1 rear panel POWER SWITCH to "on".
12. Set your amplifier's power switch to the "on" position.
13. The MP-1 will now step thru its SELF- DIAGNOSTIC program, checking a variety
of functions for proper operation. If no problem exists, the DIAGNOSTIC operation
is completed within eight seconds. Your MP-1 is now ready for operation. (If a
problem does occur, reference section 5.0 SELF CHECK DIAGNOSTIC for
explanation of error codes.)
