Introduction
The Rocktron MIDI Raider is a powerful onstage tool for the serious professional guitarist. A standalone foot controller that can be completely customized for your gear requirements, the MIDI Raider can be set up to your specs in three operating modes: Bank Mode, Song Mode and Remote Mode.
*Bank Mode has 120 presets and each instant switch can be set up global or per preset.
*Customize set-up as either 24 banks of 5 presets with 10 “instant” switches (effect on/off); or 12 banks of 10 presets with 5 instant switches (effect on/off); or 8 banks of 15 presets with no instant switches set up.
*Song Mode allows up to 150 songs to be stored with 15 presets per song. The 10 sets allow placement of 50 songs per set.
*All MIDI Raider 15 access switches can also be set up to “instant”, operating as a huge instant access “pedal board”. Remote mode automatically programs the footswitch to match Rocktron remote-compatible units, including titles and individual switch functions.
*Functions like tap delay, mute, boost and effects on/off instantly appear when connected to a Rocktron remote jack without any programming.
*18 metal switches for positive tactile feel and long life.
*Large display for custom titles and easy programming and clear visual on any stage.
*LED indicators light for every switch at all times as an on/off status indicator.
*Seven pin MIDI Out jack allows phantom powering from your rack.
*120 presets which can include over 36 MIDI commands per preset to be transmitted amongst the 16 MIDI channels including “toggling” control change commands.
* MIDI filtering, dump/load, SysEx
*Select 0-127 or 1-128 transmit operation.
*Fast, easy copy function allows you to copy any preset, bank, song, or set to another respectfully.

SETUP |
|
The SETUP program allows the user to configure the general operation of the MIDI |
|
||
|
Raider footswitch. Use the SETUP program to determine each of the following: |
|
|
|
The operating mode; |
|
|
The number of presets within each bank; |
|
|
How presets are recalled when changing from bank to bank; |
|
|
Assigning MIDI control values as sent globally or per preset; |
|
|
Assigning names for MIDI channels; |
|
|
The starting preset number for each MIDI channel; |

Upon accessing SETUP, the first page of the SETUP program, Operating Mode, |
|
|
will automatically be displayed. |
|
|
SETUP, Page 1 of 10 - Operating Mode |
|
|
The first page of the SETUP program determines the current operating mode of |
|
|
the MIDI Raider. The MIDI Raider can be used in any of three different operating |
|
|
modes - BANK, SONG or REMOTE. |
|
|
When BANK mode is selected, presets are selected by first “banking up” or |
|
|
“banking down” via the “UP” and “DOWN” switches on the MIDI Raider. This selects |
|
|
the Bank, or the first two digits of the preset number (0-12). Depending upon the setting |
|
|
of the BANK STYLE parameter (see SETUP, Page 2), the MIDI Raider will recall the |
|
|
next preset based on the selected bank and either (a) the preset switch last selected from |
|
|
the previous bank, (b) the first preset in the newly selected bank, or (c) will not recall a |
|
|
preset until an additional preset switch is pressed to select the preset number. |
|
|
In SONG mode, the MIDI Raider allows for presets to be assigned to the preset switches |
|
|
to create a SONG. Songs can then be arranged in a bank order to create a SET. |
|
|
In REMOTE mode, the MIDI Raider acts as a remote control which can be |
|
|
configured to control future remote compatible Rocktron products. |
|
|
Accessing SETUP: |
|
|
() To access the SETUP program, press the “2ND” button to activate the secondary |
|
|
button functions. |
|
|
() Press the “SETUP” button. The L.E.D. above the “SETUP” button will flash and |
|
|
the MIDI Raider will display the first page of the SETUP program. Pressing the |
|
|

SETUP, Page 2 of 10 - Bank Size
The second page of the SETUP program allows for the selection of the Bank Size, or the number of presets that the MIDI Raider will bank up or down by when the UP or DOWN switches are pressed.
When set to “5”, switches 1-5 become preset switches and the unit will bank up or down by 5 presets at a time. When set to “10”, switches 1-10 become preset switches and the unit will bank up or down by 10 presets at a time. When set to “15”, switches 1-15 become preset switches and the unit banks up or down by 15 presets at a time. When set to “1”, the unit banks up or down by one preset at a time and all of the switches become instant access switches.
The Bank Size setting also determines the number of preset switches for each song when operating the MIDI Raider in Song mode.
About Preset and Instant Access Switches:
The MIDI Raider can be configured so that one row (switches 1-5), two rows
(switches 1-10) or three rows (switches 1-15) of switches can be dedicated as preset switches, or switches that are used to select the various presets within each bank. Preset switches send out commands which can reconfigure a whole rack.
Any switches that are not configured as preset switches automatically become instant access switches - or switches that are used to send specific MIDI controller information on specific MIDI channels. Instant access switches are used to switch in or out a specific effect or function on a MIDI receiving device - thereby giving the user direct control over that specific effect or function without affecting other effects, functions or presets within a rack of devices.
Instant access switches can operate globally or per preset (see Setup, Page 4), and each can be configured to operate as a latching, momentary or hold type switch. (To configure instant access switches, refer to MIDI, Pages 2-4.)
To Select the Bank Size:
() |
With the MIDI Raider still in SETUP mode (2ND and SETUP L.E.D.s |
|
lit), press the “" switch to access the second page of the SETUP pro- |
|
gram, Bank Size. (If the MIDI Raider is not already in SETUP mode, |
|
press “2ND”, then “SETUP”, followed by “" one time.) |

13
SETUP, Page 3 of 10 - Bank Style
The third page of the SETUP program, Bank Style, determines how the next preset will be recalled when the MIDI Raider is banked up or down. If the
Bank Style parameter is set to “First”, the first preset in the new bank will be recalled when the unit is banked up or down. If set to “Curnt”, the current preset switch from the previous bank will be recalled. When set to “None”, an
additional preset switch must be pressed after banking up or down to recall the desired preset.
FIRST - recalls the first preset in the bank;
CURNT - recalls the preset based on the last preset switch pressed; NONE - recalls a preset when a preset switch is pressed
To select the Bank Style:
() With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "" switch to access the next page of the SETUP program, Bank Style. (If the MIDI Raider is not already in SETUP mode, press “2ND”, then “SETUP”, followed by “" two times.)

Note:
When scrolling through the switches to program, only those switches which are configured as instant access switches can be accessed.
SETUP, Page 4 of 10 - Instant access switch operating status
The fourth page of the SETUP program determines whether the controller values sent from the MIDI Raider are global (the same for all presets) or set on a per preset basis. When set to “GLOBAL”, the controller channel, control number, “on” value and “off” value that is sent when an instant access switch is pressed is the same for all presets. When set to “PER PR”, the controller channel, control
number, “on” value and “off” value that is sent when an instant access switch is pressed can be programmed for each individual preset.
To change the instant access switch operating status:
() With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "" switch to access the next page of the SETUP program. (If the MIDI Raider is not already in SETUP mode, press "2ND", then "SETUP", followed by "" three times.)
() To select a specific instant access switch, use the "INC" and
"DEC" switches directly below the currently selected switch. The current setting for each switch or pedal will be displayed.
() To select whether the displayed switch is configured as
"GLOBAL" or "PER PR", use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the currently displayed option.

SETUP, Page 5 of 10 - Naming MIDI Channels
The fifth page of the SETUP program allows for custom 4 character abbreviations to be shown in place of MIDI channels and instant access switches during editing. Assigning a name to each MIDI channel can make it considerably easier to remember which MIDI devices are assigned to particular MIDI channels. This is also true of instant access switches.
To assign a name to a MIDI channel or instant access switch:
() With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "" switch to access the fifth page of the SETUP program. (If the MIDI Raider is not already in SETUP mode, press "2ND", then "SETUP", followed by "" four times.)
() To select a MIDI channel or switch to name, use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the currently selected MIDI channel/switch to scroll through the available selections.
() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the center of the display to select the desired character for the current position.
() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the right side of the display to advance to the next character position to edit.
