 The SETUP program allows the user to configure the general operation of the
SETUP All Access™ footswitch. Use the SETUP program to determine each of the following:

The operating mode;

The number of presets within each bank;
How presets are recalled when changing from bank to bank;
Assigning MIDI control values as sent globally or per preset;
Assigning names for MIDI channels;
The starting preset number for each MIDI channel;
MIDI filtering options;
Preset reinitialization;
Memory reinitialization;
Selecting a remote title number for use with other Rocktron products

Upon accessing SETUP, the first page of the SETUP program,Operating Mode,
will automatically be displayed.

SETUP, Page 1 of 10 - Operating Mode

The first page of the SETUP program determines the current operating mode of
the All Access™. The All Access™ can be used in any of three different operating modes
- BANK, SONG or REMOTE.
When BANK mode is selected, presets are selected by first "banking up" or
"banking down" via the "UP" and "DOWN" switches on the All Access™. This selects
the Bank, or the first two digits of the preset number (0-12). Depending upon the setting
of the BANK STYLE parameter (see SETUP, Page 2), the All Access™ will recall the next
preset based on the selected bank and either (a) the preset switch last selected from the
previous bank, (b) the first preset in the newly selected bank, or (c) will not recall a preset
until an additional preset switch is pressed to select the preset number.
In SONG mode, the All Access™ allows for presets to be assigned to the preset
switches to create a SONG. Songs can then be arranged in a bank order to create aSET.
In REMOTE mode, the All Access™ acts as a remote control which can be
configured to control future remote compatible Rocktron products.

Accessing SETUP:

(Œ) To access the SETUP program, press the "2ND" button to activate the secondary
button functions.

() Press the "SETUP" button. The L.E.D. above the "SETUP" button will flash and
the All Access™ will display the first page of the SETUP program. Pressing the
"ð" button while in the 2ND mode accesses each successive editing page.

To select the operating mode:

(Ž) To select a different mode than the one displayed, press the "INC" or "DEC"
switches directly below the currently selected option on the right side of the
display. The selection will be automatically stored when this page is exited.

editing mode; or
(b) press the "ð" button to access additional SETUP editing pages; or
(c) press another mode button to edit All Access™ features other than SETUP.

11
 SETUP, Page 2 of 10 - Bank Size

The second page of the SETUP program allows for the selection of the Bank
Size, or the number of presets that the All Access™ will bank up or down by when
the UP or DOWN switches are pressed.
When set to "5", switches 1-5 become preset switches and the unit will bank
up or down by 5 presets at a time. When set to "10", switches 1-10 become preset
switches and the unit will bank up or down by 10 presets at a time. When set to "15",
switches 1-15 become preset switches and the unit banks up or down by 15 presets
at a time. When set to "1", the unit banks up or down by one preset at a time and
all of the switches become instant access switches.
The Bank Size setting also determines the number of preset switches for
each song when operating the All Access™ in Song mode.

About Preset and Instant Access Switches:

The All Access™ can be configured so that one row (switches 1-5), two
rows (switches 1-10) or three rows (switches 1-15) of switches can be dedicated as
preset switches, or switches that are used to select the various presets within each
bank. Preset switches send out commands which can reconfigure a whole rack.
Any switches that are not configured as preset switches automatically
become instant access switches - or switches that are used to send specific MIDI
controller information on specific MIDI channels. Instant access switches are used
to switch in or out a specific effect or function on a MIDI receiving device - thereby
giving the user direct control over that specific effect or function without affecting
other effects, functions or presets within a rack of devices.
Instant access switches can operate globally or per preset (see Setup, Page
4), and each can be configured to operate as a latching, momentary or hold type
switch. (To configure instant access switches, refer to MIDI, Pages 2-4.)

To Select the Bank Size:

(Œ) With the All Access™ still in SETUP mode (2ND and SETUP L.E.D.s lit), press
the "ð" switch to access the second page of the SETUP program, Bank Size.
(If the All Access™ is not already in SETUP mode, press "2ND", then
"SETUP", followed by "ð" one time.)

() To select a new bank size, press the "INC" or "DEC" switches directly below
the currently selected option to scroll through the available selections.

(c) press another mode button to edit All Access™ features other than SETUP.

13
 SETUP, Page 3 of 10 - Bank Style

The third page of the SETUP program, Bank Style, determines how the next
preset will be recalled when the All Access™ is banked up or down. If the Bank Style
parameter is set to "First", the first preset in the new bank will be recalled when the
unit is banked up or down. If set to "Curnt", the current preset switch from the
previous bank will be recalled. When set to "None", an additional preset switch
must be pressed after banking up or down to recall the desired preset.

FIRST - recalls the first preset in the bank;

CURNT - recalls the preset based on the last preset switch pressed;
NONE - recalls a preset when a preset switch is pressed

To select the Bank Style:

(Œ) With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" switch to access the next page
of the SETUP program, Bank Style. (If the All Access™ is not already in

 SETUP, Page 4 of 10 - Instant access switch operating status

The fourth page of the SETUP program determines whether the controller
values sent from the All Access™ are global (the same for all presets) or set on a per
preset basis. When set to "GLOBAL", the controller channel, control number, "on"
value and "off" value that is sent when an instant access switch is pressed is the same
for all presets. When set to "PER PR", the controller channel, control number, "on"
value and "off" value that is sent when an instant access switch is pressed can be
programmed for each individual preset.

To change the instant access switch operating status:

G (Œ) With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" switch to access the next page

 The MIDI program provides access to the MIDI features of the All Access™
MIDI footswitch. Use the MIDI program to assign each of the following:

Programmable patch changes;

Control numbers and channels to instant access switches and pedals;
Control values to instant access switches and pedals;
Instant access switch types;
Program change status;

Upon accessing MIDI, the first page of the MIDI program, Programmable Patch
Changes, will automatically be displayed.

MIDI, Page 1 of 7 - Programmable Patch Changes

The first page of the MIDI program, Programmable Patch Changes, allows
for the assignment of up to 16 programmable patch changes for each All Access™
preset. Programmable patch changes are sent when an All Access™ preset is
recalled to aid in selecting the desired preset on a remote MIDI receiving unit. This
page of the MIDI program allows for the assignment of program changes to All
Access™ presets. The programmable patch changes are arranged by patch
number.

 MIDI, Page 2 of 7 - Control Number Assignment

The second page of the MIDI program, Control Number Assignment,

allows for control numbers and MIDI channels to be assigned to instant access
switches and pedals.
This feature allows for a pedal or instant access switch to control a specific
parameter of another MIDI device. For example, if the Gain parameter of a
Rocktron Chameleon™ preamp was mapped to controller number 8, assigning the
P1 (Pedal 1) parameter of the All Access™ to controller 8 on the same MIDI channel
would allow for an expression pedal connected to the PEDAL 1 jack on the All
Access™ to continuously control the gain level of the Chameleon™. In addition,
Note: multiple parameters assigned to the same controller will allow you to control all of
the assigned parameters simultaneously. It is important that the control numbers

instant access switch is stored in Similarly, assigning a control number to an instant access switch will also
the All Access™. allow you to control a specific parameter of another MIDI device. Once a
parameter (or multiple parameters) of another MIDI device is mapped to the same
controller number assigned to an All Access™ instant access switch, each time the
instant access switch is pressed, an "on" or "off" controller value will be sent from
the All Access™ and toggle between two parameter values. The parameter values
that are toggled between are determined by the control value sent each time the
instant access switch is pressed (see MIDI, Page 3 - Control Number Assignment).
If specific control values are not assigned by the user, pressing the instant access
switch will toggle between the highest and lowest values for that parameter.

To assign control numbers to switches/pedals:

(Œ) With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" switch to access the second page
of the MIDI program, Control Number Assignment. (If the All Access™ is
not already in the MIDI editing mode, press "2ND", then "MIDI" followed
by "ð" once.)

() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed instant
access switch to select the switch or pedal to which control numbers and
channels will be assigned. (Only those switches which are configured as
instant access switches will be accessible.)

(Ž) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed MIDI
channel to select the MIDI channel to be assigned to the selected switch or
pedal.

() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the currently displayed
control number to select the control number to be assigned to the selected

 MIDI, Page 4 of 7 - Switch Type

The fourth page of the MIDI program, Switch Type, determines how each
instant access switch will operate. This feature allows for each switch to be assigned
as either a Latching, Momentary or Hold switch, and is global for all presets.

• A LATCHING switch type sends the "on" control value when the switch is
pressed and turns the L.E.D. on. Pressing the switch a second time sends the
"off" control value and turns the L.E.D. off. When changing presets, the "on/
off" status stored for the preset is always sent.

• A MOMENTARY switch type sends the "on" control value when the switch
is pressed, turning the L.E.D. on, and the "off" control when the switch is
released (the L.E.D. remains on). The L.E.D. changes status once each time
the switch is pressed and released. When changing presets, if the new
switch status is different than the current status, the "on" value is sent
followed by the "off" value 5 milliseconds later. The MIDI control change
that is associated with this switch is sent only if the switch status changes.

• A HOLD switch type is the same as a momentary switch type, except that
the L.E.D. turns on when the switch is pressed and turns off when the switch
is released. When changing presets, switches assigned as HOLD switches
do sot send a MIDI message.

If the switches have been assigned names (as described in SETUP, Page 5),
the names of the instant access switches will be displayed instead of the switch
numbers. Only those switches which are configured as instant access switches will
be accessible.

To assign the type of each instant access switch:

(Œ) With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" switch to access the next page
of the MIDI program, Switch Type. (If the All Access™ is not already in the
MIDI editing mode, press "2ND", then "MIDI", followed by "ð" three times.)

() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed instant
access switch to select the switch to be assigned a switch type.

(Ž) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed switch type
to select a type for the selected switch.

 CUSTOM, Page 2 of 2 - Additional Data
Some MIDI commands selected in CUSTOM, Page 1 will have a ">"
symbol following the command name. This symbol indicates MIDI commands
that require additional data which needs to be programmed before the message
can be stored in memory. For example, the "Note Off>" command requires
information concerning the MIDI Channel, Note Number and Note Velocity, as
shown in the example below. The second page of the CUSTOM program allows
for the selection of this additional information.

To define additional MIDI information:

(‘) Press the "ð" switch to access the second page of the CUSTOM program.
(If the All Access™ is not already in the CUSTOM editing mode, press
"2ND", then "CUSTOM", followed by "ð".)

(’) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the left side of the display
to edit the information shown on the left side of the display.

(“) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the center of the display
to edit the information shown in the center of the display.

(”) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the right side of the
display to edit the information shown on the right side of the display.

MIDI Commands not followed by the ">" symbol do not require the
additional data shown in CUSTOM, Page 2.

 The SYSX program allows the user to perform a bulk dump or bulk load of
SYSX the entire All Access™ programmable memory, as well as create a system exclusive
MIDI string up to 30 bytes long for each preset to communicate device and
manufacturer specific information.

SYSX, Page 1 of 3 - Bulk Dump/Load

The first page of the SYSX program, Bulk Dump/Load, allows for the user
to perform a Bulk Dump or Load of the All Access™ programmable memory.

To access the SYSX program:

(Œ) To access SYSX, press the "2ND" button to activate the secondary button
functions.

() Press the "SYSX" button. The L.E.D. above the "SYSX" button will flash and the
All Access™ will display the first page of the SYSX program.

To perform a bulk dump or load:

(Ž) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the current dump/load
status displayed to select whether a Bulk Dump or Bulk Load is to be
performed.

*If a Bulk Load is to be performed, the All Access™ must display this editing
page and "LOAD" must be selected for the All Access™ to receive a Bulk
Dump from another device.

() If a Bulk Dump is to be performed, press the "CTR STORE" button to initiate
the dump.

­ When receiving a Bulk Load, it is important that the data loaded to the
All Access™ is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped
from the All Access™. If information is sent too fast to the All Access™,
a "Buffer Overflow" error will occur.

When dumping information from a data storage device, such as an

Alesis Data Disk, it is necessary to perform the dump in sequence
mode rather thansysx mode. Sequence mode will dump the information
back to the All Access™ at the same speed as it was received from the
All Access™. The All Access™ can receive a data dump at about 65Hz
(or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).

 SYSX, Page 2 of 3 - MIDI Sysx On/Off status

The second page of the SYSX program, MIDI Sysx On/Off Status, allows for
a system exclusive MIDI string assigned to a preset to be designated as "on" or "off"
when recalling the preset. Designating a system exclusive message as "off" does not
erase the message, it is merely disabled when the preset is recalled.

ON - message is sent when preset is recalled.

OFF - message is not sent when preset is recalled.

(Œ) With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" button to access the second page
of the SYSX program. (If the All Access™ is not already in the SYSX editing
mode, press "2ND", then "SYSX", followed by "ð".)

To designate the MIDI string on/off status:

() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the currently displayed
preset number to select the desired preset to add a system exclusive MIDI
string.

(Ž) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the current On/Off status
displayed to select "ON".
