Expander Connection

The MCS-3000X Expanders may be physically attached to the
MCS-3400 or MCS-3800 Controller, forming a continuous
control surface.

(MCS-3800 shown with 3 MCS-3000X Expanders attached)

Alternately, the Expander can stand apart from the MCS
Controller. In that case, an optional set of simulated stone end-
bells may be purchased to make the Expander more attractive.

(MCS-3000X shown with Optional End Bells attached.)

The instructions for physical interconnection, and electrical
hookup are on the following pages.

Initialization

To clear the memory of the MCS-3800, and restore the Factory
Preset settings, hold both the
UP and DOWN cursor buttons while powering up the unit.

Initialized Settings

From JLCooper, the MCS-3800 or MCS-3400's user-assignable
memory is initialized to a “Factory Preset” set of (mainly)
Controller messages on MIDI Channels 2 through 16.

The exceptions are the Transport switches, which are
initialized to send MIDI Machine messages and (if option card
is installed) Sony 9-pin messages.

The initialized values are as follows:
(MIDI Channel is shown in base 10, Controller # is in Hex)
