OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE
MORLEY BP-l
MIDI EXPRESSION PEDAL

INTRODUCTION

The EP-l pedal is a foot-controlled MIDI "continuous
controller" source. Designed for live-performance control
or MIDI - equipped musical effects units. audio processors.
lighting controls, a: well as keyboards and tone modules.

The pedal transmits MIDI messages which correspond to the
position or the pedal. The aP-l is rectory est a MIDI
continuous controller 17, which is defined as main volume.
The output values range from o to 121. The MIDI message-
are transmitted on MIDI channel 1. If the musical
instrument or ettect unit connected to the pedal is capable
of controller 'mapplnq", parameters like mix levels, time
dela , LPO speed, delay feedback. etc... can be modified
cont nuouely in real time]

CONNECTIONS AND POHBR SOURCES

Tho pedal receive: power from the MIDI out/thru jack on your
MIDI equipment. No other power source is required. If your
equip-ant only provides MIDI in, the EP-l would require a
MORLEY A.C. adapter (9V DC}. The adapter plugs into the
D.c. jack marked 9V on the EP-l pedal. cnnrxon: Before
pluqqinq AC Adaptor into EP-l pedal, remove any cable
plugged into the BP-l input Jack. Input Jack must not be
used with he Adaptor.

when the MIDI input and output of the pedal are being used.
any MIDI messages received through the MIDI input of the
pada1 will be passed through to its MIDI output. The MIDI
controller data generated when the pedal is moved will be
'nergod" with any incoming MIDI messages. In cases where
only one piece or MIDI equipment is being need, a feedback
condition may occur causing it to lock up. This would make
it necessary to turn the MIDI out/thru (also called merge)
otf. If this parameter is not accessible on your MIDI
equipment, disconnect the EP-l MIDI input cable and use a
MORLEY A.c. adapter (9v Dc).

USING THE EP-l PEDAL
1.) Make sure all power to your MIDI equipment is off.

2.) Connect a MIDI cable Iron the EP-I MIDI output jack to
your equipment: MIDI ln jack.

3.) connoct a MIDI cable from the BP-l MIDI input jack to
your equipment: MIDI out/thru jack. If your equipment
does not have a MIDI out/thru jack. than a MORLEY A.c.
adapter is required to power the pedal. wait until
step (5) to plug A.c. adapter in.

4.) It your MIDI equipment provides l/4 inch phone jack:
for remote foot switches, two momentary switches
(normally open) are provided on the EP-l. The switches
are labeled effect bypass and program advance.

However, these switches can be used for any remote loot
switch application requiring normally open momentary
twitches.

5.) Put the pedal 0! the ED-l in the too-up petition.

6.) Turn your MIDI equipment power on. Plug MORLEY A.c.
adapter in if required (see step 3). The LED light
above the effect bypass switch should turn on. If the
LED does not turn on repeat step: 1 thru 6.

7.) Move the pedal or the EP-l Iron the toe-up position to
the too-down position and back in one continuous
motion. The LED will turn off and back on once. The
travel of the pedal is set. Nov anytime the pedal is
moved the LED will turn oft while data is being spnt.

In order for the EP-l to function properly your MIDI
equipment must be set-up as follows:

1.) Sat unit to onni or MIDI channel 1

2.) If only one piece of MIDI equipment is being used
the MIDI thru (also called "meroe") must be turned
off. If this parameter is not accessible, discon-
nect the cable going to the EP-l MIDI input and
use a MORLEY A.C. adapter to power the DP-l pedal.
Input Jack must not be used with he Adaptor!

3.) MIDI unit must be capable of controller mapping,
which allows you to modity ie. nix levels, time
delays, delay feedback, no. and etc... through a
MIDI continuous controller source.

4.) Unit lust be set to listen to controller source 7
which is defined as main volune.
EP-l SET-UP DEHO
The nostr EP-l will and root control to your thL errects,
expanding the usefulness or these unite in live pertornance.
The following preset modifications for the Alesis Quadraverb
will demonstrate the features of real-tine MIDI control.
Hook-up of the EP-l to the quedraverh.

1.) Connect e KID! cable iron the EP-l MIDI output
jack to the Quadraverb MIDI in jack.

2.) Connect a MIDI cable tron thl EP-l MIDI input jack
to the Quadraverb HID! out/thru jack.

3.) Connect standard instrument cables for effect
bypass and program advance from the EP-l to the
Quedraverb.

4.) Put the pedal or the EP-l in the tee-up position.

5.) Turn the Quedrsverb on.

6.) Move the pedal of the EP-l from toe-up to toe-down
and back. (This will set the travel of the
pedal).

These examples are only a guide to eat you started with real
time MIDI foot control. MORLEY puts control of your MIDI
ettects at your feet. Many of today: Hlor etteot units
allow the EP-l to control multiple effect parameters at the
same time. creating any number of unique possibilities.
