Programmable MIDI Kick Drum Pedal The programmable MIDI kick drum pedal consists of: a programmable unit using a 8-way DIP switch which selects the MIDI drum sound (0-127) as in Table 1 a stereo jack-socket, which also acts as the on/off switch, power-on LED, 9 volt battery connector a MIDI 5-pin DIN output socket, see Circuit Diagram a programme (DIP 8) switch and associated LED, The programmable MIDI kick drum pedal requires: a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) Mono Jack-Plug Foot Pedal a 9v battery or equivalent power source Programming the unit: At power-on, if the programme DIP-8 switch is simultaneously ON, then the unit will enter programme mode. The 8-Way DIP switch positions 1 to 7 are read and stored in the EEPROM, and the unit will operate as shown in Table 1. Programming the MIDI Kick Drum Pedal Unit only has to be done once and the switch positions are stored internally in the EEPROM and the unit will continue to operate in this mode, even when power is removed, until reprogrammed. If a different drum sound value is required, at any time, then the programming procedure can be repeated. Program Mode: Set programme DIP-8 switch to ON and DIP switches 1 to 7 to the required MIDI Drum sound value (See Table 1) Switch unit On, the power-on and programme LEDS are both on. Normal Mode: Set programme DIP-8 switch to OFF Now switch the unit on, the power-on LED is on and the programme LED is off. At power-on, if the programme switch (DIP 8) is not ON then the unit operates as previously programmed.
