INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE
MOOG PRODIGY
USING THE MIDI INTERFACE - - -
 When you turn on the synthesiser for the first time, you will be in
 omni-on mode for receive (all channels). When you select a receive
 channel or other set-up, this will be stored in non volatile memory
 to be recalled when you next turn on the synth - all settings listed
 on the next page are stored.
 If you want to put the machine back to the factory default settings
 at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding the red push button
 pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
 See next page for factory default settings.
 SWITCH
 When the switch is in the up position (normal) - MIDI will be
 disabled and all controllers will be reset to their default values
 so that the synth behaves completely normally & with no MIDI control.
 When the switch is in the down position (MIDI) - MIDI is enabled
 and the primary source of control is from the incoming MIDI signal.
 RED PUSH BUTTON
 Two modes are available by pushing the red push button. Before you
 press the red button however, make sure that no notes are pressed on
 the synth otherwise the results may be unpredictable.
 The keyboard notes required for set-up & transpose modes should be
 sent via MIDI from an external keyboard. (DX7/D50 etc. etc.)
 1) SET-UP MODE - Setting MIDI channels and assignments.
 Give the red push button a short press (half a second) - then release.
 Follow this with a note or sequence of notes (on the remote keyboard)
 as detailed on page 2. After selecting a channel you will be
 automatically returned to playing mode but after making assignments
 you will need to press the ENTER key (Top C) to return to playing
 mode. This is to enable you to make the multiple key presses required
 when re-assigning sources to destinations.
 (N.B. set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).
 2) TRANSPOSE MODE -
 Press and hold the red push button for four seconds - then release.
 Middle C will sound on the synth and continue to sound until you
 press a key (on the remote keyboard). The note that you press will
 become the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can set any value up to two
 octaves up or down. Settings outside this range will be ignored.
 Note that transpose mode cannot be entered from set-up mode.
