By pressing a single knob you can select any MIDI transmit channel from 1 to 9, or with a combination of two knobs, select the remaining channels 10 to 16.
- Page 4 When you plug the USB cable from the Killamix Mini into your computer, the device should be detected and identified as Killamix Mini manufactured by Kenton. In order to use this device with your software, you will need to select it in the MIDI port select section of your software. On a MAC it will show as “Killamix Mini”, on a PC it will show as “USB Audio Device”.
- Page 5 CONFIGURING BUTTON OPERATIONAL MODES – available at all times during use Press and hold knob #9 then press knob #8 – then release both. To show that this mode has been entered, ALL the encoder LEDs will light up. The channel LEDs will show the channel being edited and the button LEDs will indicate the current mode for each button as follows: = on only mode (127 sent when button is pressed) = on/off mode (127 sent when pressed, 0 sent when released)
- Page 6 On – two modes are available indicated by the LEDs lit on the ledring above button 2 1 – four pole mode with centre zero (CCs 19,20,21,22) sending analogue values 0 –127 2 – four pole mode switching joystick (CCs 19,20,21,22) only value 127 sent at limits When in 4 pole mode, the centre position is zero, and moving right sends CC#19, up sends CC#20, left sends CC#21 and down sends CC#22.
- Page 7 As single knob presses no longer change MIDI channel – you can change MIDI channels in this mode by using knob 9 plus one of knobs 1-7, this means that you can now only select channels 1 to 7 in this mode. Pressing knobs 9+8 still allows you to set button modes as usual.
- Page 8 Configuring extra operational modes (buttons 6 & 8) Described on page 5. UPGRADING THE KILLAMIX-MINI FIRMWARE (buttons 7 & 9) Before starting you should have the SysEx upgrade file ready on your computer. You will also need software on your computer that can send SysEx dump files (.syx format) We very strongly recommend using MIDI-OX if using a PC.
- Page 9 Power the unit on (plug into USB port) whilst holding buttons 7 & 9 pressed down. Allow a couple of seconds for the USB interface to initialise then release the buttons. Various buttons will light up depending on the status of various checks made. Ideally buttons 1,2,3,4 & 5 will light up at this stage, indicating that the unit is completely ready to receive a firmware upgrade.
- Page 10 If power fails during the final copy operation (after pressing button #9 and before buttons 1 to 8 go out leaving button 9 only lit), then the Killamix Mini will become unusable and will have to be returned to Kenton to have the operating system restored.
