Before operation you will need to open the battery compartment and plug in the 9-Volt battery packaged in the compartment.

This operation requires you to use a 9VAC 1. 5A Adapter 5. 5/2. 55mm Coax Plug (not included) plugged into the back of select Rocktron products (see connection diagrams for more detail). Power is then supplied to the MIDI XChange through pins 6 and 7 of the RMM900 MIDI Cord. This is a great set up to minimize adapters and cables out in front of you on stage.

[. . . ] The display will now show the number 35: At this point - if you step on the RECALL switch again the MIDI XChange will toggle back to the last preset - in this case preset number 1. This function allows you to switch back and forth between the last two presets selected - in this case preset 1: SMART CONTROLLER PORTS What are "SMART CONTROLLERS" Typically with most MIDI footcontrollers, when using continuous controller pedal(s) the "status" of the pedal(s) are not reported when a new program change command has been sent. This would most likely cause a discontinuity in volume requiring the user to step on his volume pedal to correct the change thus updating the pedal status manually. [. . . ]
