AboutthisOwner’sManual

Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This chapter

provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP7’s control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors, and details

how the components of the instrument’s sound are structured.

The Main Operation chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, beginning with

turning zones on and o, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment

using the four control knobs, before examining how reverb, EFX, and amp simulation can all be applied to dramatically change the

character of the selected sound. Next, the MP7’s authentic Tonewheel Organ mode is outlined, explaining how to adjust drawbar

positions using zone faders and control knobs, and change the organ’s percussion characteristics. The chapter closes with an

explanation of the instrument’s global EQ and transpose functions.

The EDIT Menu chapter (page 38) lists all available INT mode and EXT mode parameters by category for convenient reference. The

STORE Button & SETUP Menus chapter (page 63) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the entire panel conguration as a

SETUP, then recalling dierent SETUPs from the MP7’s internal memory.

The Recorder chapter (page 67) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument’s internal

memory, and also MP3/WAV audio les saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP7’s metronome/drum

pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 98), while the SYSTEM

Menu chapter (page 104) explains the MP7’s system settings and various reset functions.

Finally, the Appendix section (page 116) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the

instrument’s internal sounds, drum rhythms, eects, MIDI reference information, and full specication details.
