User Manual

Tap Switch - Used to tap the desired 1/4 note delay time. The Mako D1 offers highly accurate tap
tempo as it uses a custom rolling average tap program. Tap the switch with the tempo of the song to
lock in the delay time.
Rate LED - The Rate LED flashes the color of the selected preset and indicates delay time in quarter
notes. The Rate LED will flash purple when a preset has been modified.
Feedback Ramp - Press and hold the bypass switch to ramp up the repeats of the delay. Release to
set the feedback back to the knob location.
Audio Input and Output - The Mako D1 offers multiple input and output configurations.
o Mono In / Mono Out - Use the top set of jacks for mono in - mono out.
o Mono In / Dual Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode.
o Stereo In / Stereo Out
o Stereo In / Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode.
The pedal includes 128 total presets slots. Good luck using them all. The first 9 presets are accessible
from the pedal using the Bank switch and both stomp switches. All 128 are accessible via MIDI
Program Change messages. All 128 are accessible via MIDI Program Change messages which are
outlined in the MIDI section.
o To recall a preset:
1. First, select the bank of presets you want to access with the A|B|C switch. The pedal will
automatically recall the red preset in that bank.
2. Next, scroll through the presets in that bank by pressing both stomp switches at the same
time. Each press of both stomp switches will load the next preset until you get back to red
and the pattern repeats.
o To save a preset:
1. Scroll to the preset color in the bank you want to save a new sound.
2. Using the knobs and switches, dial in the desired delay sound. The Rate LED will turn purple
indicating the preset has been modified.
3. To save, hold down the Bypass and Tap switches until the preset LED blinks. The preset is now
saved and the LED will return to the preset color.
The D1 is able to be controlled via standard MIDI messages. Simply connect your MIDI controller to
the D1 MIDI “IN”. Downstream MIDI devices can be connected to the MIDI “OUT” which serves as a
MIDI passthrough. The D1 is not able to control other devices via MIDI. The D1 ships with the MIDI
channel set to 1 by default.
o MIDI Channel Assign - To assign the MIDI device channel:
1. Hold down both stomp switches at power up until the rate LED starts flashing like normal,
then release both switches.
2. Now send a MIDI Program Change message on the desired MIDI channel for the pedal.
3. The pedal will save that MIDI channel and only respond to messages on that channel until
the user changes it again.
o MIDI In – Connect upstream MIDI devices or your MIDI controller to the D1 MIDI “IN”.
o MIDI Out – The MIDI “OUT” functions as a simple MIDI thru allowing all incoming MIDI messages
to pass through.
o MIDI Clock - The D1 accepts MIDI clock and sets its delay time anytime it sees a change in MIDI
clock tempo. MIDI clock, when sent, will override the tempo set with the Time knob or tap
switch. You can, however, tap a new tempo after the tempo has been set with MIDI clock. It’s
a good practice to limit your MIDI clock to only send a few clock pulses at a time since the D1
will quickly lock in the tempo.
o MIDI PC – Presets on the D1 are able to be recall LED via MIDI program change messages.
Simply send a program change message corresponding the desired preset to be recalled on
the D1 MIDI channel. See the table on the next page for a list of D1 presets and how they map to
program change messages.
