NOTE: You cannot use the TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch and a MIDI controller at the same time. Choose one or the other to control
your amplifier and DO NOT CONNECT THE JACK that corresponds to the switching method YOU DO NOT INTEND TO USE.
MIDI THRU/OUT
This 5-pin standard MIDI jack is the THRU/OUT for the MIDI control portion of the TRIPLE CROWN. As you
might guess, any standard 5-Pin DIN cable will connect to this jack, though albeit, some fit more snugly (with difficulty at times) than
others due to the thickness of the plastic housing surrounding the Pin area of the cable.
Depending on your set up and whether the TRIPLE CROWN is the first (only) device receiving MIDI commands from a controller in
your system, or the one of many “downstream” in a chain of devices receiving MIDI commands, the information will either be from
the master unit or a slave passing information on to the next in the chain. Either way, the TRIPLE CROWN sends all pertinent MIDI
information on as either THRU or OUT via this jack.
MIDI IN
This 5-Pin female DIN jack accepts standard 5-Pin MIDI cables and passes all incoming MIDI commands to the
TRIPLE CROWN’s processor for interpretation. Whether from a MIDI Footcontroller, Sequencer, Librarian Software or DAW, all MIDI
messages sent to the TRIPLE CROWN will be received here and, if pertinent, appropriate action will be taken by its processor. The
TRIPLE CROWN can respond to MIDI Program Change, Control Change and SysEx messages, but all MIDI messages and/or com-
mands will be passed on via the THRU/OUT jack.
NOTE: DO NOT connect a footswitch to the MESA FT.SW. jack when using the MIDI INPUT jack!!
MIDI CHANNEL
This mini detent pot allows selection of a specific MIDI Channel among the 16 Standard MIDI Channels. Set
the MIDI CHANNEL pot so that it receives on the same MIDI Channel as that which your Controller is set to send on. If it is a guitar
specific rig using MIDI commands only for calling up Channels and Features on the amplifier, often players will only ever use Chan-
nel 1 or Channel 16. This is easy to remember and stays out of the way for them, while leaving ample room to grow a system that
might get more complex sometime in the future. If it is to be used in a more expanded MIDI set up, you may have need for a specific
higher MIDI Channel number to isolate the data stream used to control different instruments or a Computer used as a sequencer The
TRIPLE CROWN MIDI Channel pot detents correlate to the MIDI Channels in this manner; Pot Detent Position (Rotating Clockwise
From 0) = MIDI CHANNEL
