MIDX-20 DUAL USB Host FIRMWARE DIFFERENCES This manual covers both firmware versions 1.x and 2.x When the MIDX-20 is started it does a ‘lamp test’ by cycling the LED’s on/off. To easily determine if you have version 2.x installed, you can observe the MIDI IN & MIDI OUT (GREEN) LED’s and see if they simultaneously flash two times at the end of the startup sequence. If there’s no double-blink on the two LED’s you don’t have the V2 firmware and should consider an upgrade using the Assistant PC Software V2.X available at www.primovasound.com. There’s a separate manual for the Assistant Windows PC program. Without the Assistant you cannot activate all features of the MIDX-20. Version comparison chart / feature list Firmware version

DESCRIPTION The MIDX-20 unit has two USB Host ports (USB A sockets), a MIDI IN and a MIDI OUT (both 5 pin MIDI) port, plus two controller jacks for generating MIDI from external expression pedals or dual foot switches. There are various programmable MIDI routing possibilities between the connectors. A USB MIDI (foot) controller may control a USB device as well as other 5-pin MIDI equipment. Another routing possibility is when a 5-pin MIDI (foot) controller controls up to two USB devices (see separate chapter for full description of the routing capabilities). When connecting a guitar synthesizer with Guitar-to-MIDI conversion an external synthesizer can be used for playback. The unit also has an optional MIDI THRU/MERGE mode, sending 5-pin MIDI IN to the 5-pin MIDI OUT at the same time as other data from the USB devices is transmitted. The two USB connectors are fully Roland/Boss compatible allowing any Roland/Boss USB device to be connected for control or playback. Roland/Boss devices use a vendor-specific USB MIDI communication protocol. This unit is compatible with the following Roland/BOSS Guitar devices: Katana Amplifiers, GT-10, GT-100, GT-001, VG-99, GR-55, GP-10 and SY-300. Both USB connectors recognize Fender Mustang™ Amplifiers allowing the amps to be controlled using MIDI commands (see the Mustang MIDI implementation chart elsewhere in this manual). Any MIDI class compliant USB device may be used with the unit, such as Fishman TriplePlay, KMM SoftStep2, Logidy UMI3 USB MIDI Foot Controller, etc. The MIDI USB Host is powered by a regulated 8-12V (center negative) mains adaptor (not supplied) or a 5V Mini USB cable via a phone charger (not supplied). Important: - The MIDX-20 does NOT support USB Hubs. - Powering the unit using a Mini USB cable directly connected to a Personal Computer works, but is not recommended as digital noise may be introduced. - The unit can deliver a current up to 1.0 Amp assuming the power supply (pedal board adapter or Mini USB adapter) is rated at that level.

8V – 12VDC (center negative)

CONNECTORS MIDI IN AND MIDI OUT 5-PIN CONNECTORS The two 5-pin MIDI connectors allow for connection of ‘classic’ MIDI devices in the communication stream. The unit provides an optional MERGE/MIDI THRU feature (enabled with the SET button), which will forward any incoming MIDI message from the MIDI IN 5-pin connector directly to the MIDI OUT 5-pin connector. If there’s a collision between USB messages from the USB device with messages from MIDI IN, the message that started first gets priority to complete before the other streams are allowed to pass through.
USB CONNECTORS The MIDX-20 USB Host connectors allow communication with two Roland/BOSS devices, Mustang™ Amplifiers, or any other class compliant MIDI devices. The connector is of ‘stacked’ type with an upper and a lower USB slot. The lower connector (LWR) is intended for a device controlled either by the upper (UPR) connector or via 5-pin MIDI, and cannot be reconfigured. The upper connector (UPR) is configurable and may be programmed for a second device controlled by 5-pin MIDI or may be configured for a USB Foot controller.

POWER CONNECTORS The MIDX-20 can be powered by: 1. Normal DC pedal board adapter (not included) 250mA – 2.0A (8V - 12V DC, center pin negative). If the wrong polarity is used the unit will not be harmed, but it will not work. 2. Mini USB cable (5V DC) from a phone charger (not included). When connected to most devices the current draw by USB is negligible however the LEDs and microcontroller circuitry require a few milliamps. The unit can deliver a current up to 1.0 Amp assuming the power supply (pedal board adapter or Mini USB adapter) is rated at that level.

CONTROLLER JACKS 1 & 2 Each of the jacks allows you to connect either a Roland EV-5 expression pedal, a Roland FS-6, or Roland FS-7 compatible dual foot switch. The expression pedals or foot switches will be continuously monitored and converted to MIDI control commands.
EXPRESSION PEDALS (ANALOG CONTROL) Expression pedals compatible with MIDX-20 require a 10 kOhm potentiometer. The stereo plug TIP is connected to the center tap of the potentiometer (Output), the SLEEVE is connected to one end of the potentiometer (Ground) and the RING (Input) is connected to the other end of the potentiometer. At heel-down position the lowest resistance should be obtained between Tip (Output) and Sleeve (Ground)
Recommended expression pedals: Roland EV-5, EV-7, Boss FV-500L
DUAL FOOT SWITCHES (ON/OFF CONTROL OR PROGRAM CHANGE) Dual footswitches compatible with MIDX-20 require: - One switch to short the TIP to SLEEVE when pressed. - The other switch short the RING to SLEEVE when pressed. The switches must be of MOMENTARY type (or the switch unit must be configured to MOMENTARY mode).
Recommended switches: Boss FS-6 and Boss FS-7
IMPORTANT NOTE: For FS-7 use these settings: Polarity = II (RIGHT), Mode = FS-5U Momentary. For FS-6 set both switches: Polarity = RIGHT, Mode = FS-5U Momentary.

Fender Mustang™ V2 Bridge and Boss Katana Bridge MIDX-20 contains special software that allows control of one or two Fender Mustang™ V2 Amplifiers or one or two Katana amplifiers using regular MIDI commands. You may control the amplifiers by using an external MIDI controller connected to the MIDX-20 and/or by using expression pedals/foot switches connected to the CTRL1 and CTRL2 jacks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you connect a Mustang™ or Katana™ amp to the upper USB connector the MIDX20 need to be in “DEVICE IN/OUT” mode (the leftmost LED showing RED) for proper operation. If you connect a Mustang™ or Katana™ to the lower USB connector all of the Upper USB Modes may be used.

The first time the foot switch is pressed, the value 127 will be sent to the control. The next time 0 will be sent, and so on in a toggling/latched fashion. The next Wizard step will setup the Control number used. When foot switch is held down, 127 will be sent to the control, and when released 0 will be sent. The next Wizard step will setup the Control number used. When the foot switch is pressed a fixed Program Change (PC) number will be sent. The next step will set up what fixed number to use. When the foot switch is pressed the current Program Change number will be decremented and sent. The next step will set up the STARTING (power-on) program number. When the foot switch is pressed the current Program number will be incremented and sent. The next step will setup the STARTING (power-on) program number. Note: if one FS is used for decrement and the other FS is used for increment, the decrement STARTING number is used for both switches. This will send out a START command. The next two Wizard steps have no meaning. This will send out a CONTINUE command. The next two Wizard steps have no meaning. This will send out a CONTINUE command.

REAL-TIME MESSAGES MIDI Clock - When power is first applied, no input is defined as a master and all clock messages from both inputs will be passed until one input is defined as a master. The input to receive the most recent START command will become the clock master. That input continues to be the clock master until another input satisfies the above condition. Active Sensing - The first input to receive an active sensing message will become the active sensing master. Active sensing messages from that input will be passed to the output and any active sensing messages received at other inputs will be ignored. The input will remain the active sensing master until no additional active sensing messages are received at that input for a period of a few seconds. Then the other input has the opportunity to become the active sensing master.
MIDX-20 MODES / MIDI DATA FLOW As there are three bidirectional MIDI connections (2xUSB + Standard MIDI) and two controller jacks, the flow of data between the connectors can be configured in many different ways. To cover most cases, four modes have been elected for the MIDX-20, selected using the SET button. A LONG HOLD of the button will cycle through the four modes and the current mode will show on the UPR MODE LED. LED is OFF – Mode for two USB devices, UPR is only sending data. LED is RED – Mode for two USB devices, UPR is bidirectional. LED is GREEN – Mode for a USB Controller on UPR, UPR is only receiving data. LED is YELLOW – Mode for a USB Controller on UPR, UPR is bidirectional. Each of the four modes may also have MIDI THRU/MERGE ON or OFF rendering the total number of possible configurations to eight. The following flow charts describes in detail how the unit operates in these eight modes. This symbol + is used to indicate a merge of two or more MIDI data streams. If there’s a collision between USB messages, the message started first gets priority to complete before the other stream is allowed to pass through.
Note: The MIDI MERGE mode allows for forwarding MIDI data and daisy-chaining several devices (or MIDX-20 units) via the 5-Pin MIDI connections.
