DISPLAY
The display on the LD-2 has two types of readout. Firstly numbers are displayed in numeric format 0-
127 as used by MIDI. Secondly, there is a 20 segment bar readout where a value of zero will show no
bars, and a value of 127 will show all bars, with intermediate values showing a proportionate number of
bars. When you enter setup mode on the LD-3 (see below) the parameter and data values will show on
the LD-2 display. When you exit setup mode on the LD-3, the MIDI channel and controller number
information is passed to the LD-2 and stored in its memory also so that you do not have to “learn” new
values when they are changed on the LD-3
USING THE LD-3
First connect the supplied power adaptor to the “DC IN 9V” power input socket on the back of the unit,
then connect either your MIDI signal cable to the MIDI In socket and/or an analogue controller pedal to
the pedal input. When power is applied to the LD-3, the LED will light with a steady glow.
EDITING THE LD-3
In order to edit the LD-3, you will first have to enter setup mode. To do this, use a small screwdriver or
matchstick (or similar) to press the setup button. If no more buttons are pressed, the buttons will
remain active for about 7 seconds. Pressing any of the SEL DEC or INC buttons will reset the timeout,
so you should not have any difficulty editing the unit. When you exit setup mode either by pressing the
setup button again, or by timeout, the edited values are saved in a non-volatile storage device, so the
unit will “remember” its assignments for the next time it is used. Whilst the LD-3 is in setup mode, the
LED will flash slowly. It will return to a steady glow when normal running mode is resumed.
Each parameter is accessed using the INC or DEC buttons whilst parameter mode is active. There are
five parameters in the menu listed in the next section ‘Parameters’. Parameter mode is indicated on
the LD-2 by a dot at the top of the leftmost digit. You will also see the “con” parameter represented on
the three digit readout. Whenever setup mode is entered, the parameter always resets to “con”.
Press the INC or DEC button to get to the parameter you require, then press the PARA/VALUE button
to select Value mode. Value mode is indicated on the LD-2 by a dot at the top of the middle digit. Use
the DECrement (-) and INCrement (+) buttons to edit the value. The DEC & INC buttons will auto-
repeat if held down. To select another prameter press the PARA/VALUE button again to return to
Parameter mode. On the next page is a list of parameters and what they do.
When the MIDI channel or Controller number parameters are edited on the LD-3 these are also
passed to the LD-2 and stored in the memory there. You consequently do not have to put the LD-2 into
learn mode in order to use the new parameters.
