3. Midi devices
External MIDI devices can be connected to the SC-1 MIDI Out. The MIDI Thru of the first MIDI device passes
on the original MIDI signal sent to MIDI In. There is a limit to how many MIDI devices you can connect like
this – in series.
A distortion and delay of the MIDI signal can occur, causing errors in the MIDI signal.
To solve this problem a MIDI Thru Box can be used. A MIDI Thru Box will supply multiple buffered MIDI
Outs. Keep MIDI cables as short as possible, not exceeding 15 meters in length.

4. Operating the SC-1
To get quickly started using the SC-1 there is some basic concepts regarding the user
interface that is worth knowing for better and faster operation of the machine.
4.1 Primary operation
When operating in primary mode the preset switches 1-5 are used for selecting presets, the
controller switches C1-C10 are used for control change operations, the up
“” arrows selects the bank or song number which is shown in the BANK/SONG part of the
display. The title of the preset/song is shown in the larger 10-character part of the display.
The preset switches selects one of the five presets available in each bank/song. When
pressing one of these switches the selected preset will be instantly recalled and all pre
programmed MIDI data will be sent.
The controller switches C1-C10 are used for sending MIDI control change messages. When
recalling a preset the states of the controllers are used for sending either on (7Fh) or off (00h)
control changes to i.e. a loop system or an effects processor. These controllers can also be
toggled while using the preset by pressing the desired controller. A controller can be turned off
– so don’t be alarmed if a controller does not respond. Storing the change is done by pressing
nd
2
followed by ENTER (only in preset mode). When repressing the selected preset switch,
the preset is restored to its last stored state.
The up
pressing either of these switches the BANK/SONG display will start blinking, indicating that
the shown bank/song number is not the current. Pressing a preset number will recall the
selected preset number in the selected bank.
When operating in set mode the dot-points in the bottom of the display indicates the current
set number.
4.2 Secondary operation
Pressing the 2nd switch accesses the secondary mode. The 2
secondary functions are available. These functions are listed above the switches. By pressing
any of the titled switches you will access the features of the selected function.
Many of these functions use menus where you can scroll between the menu items by
pressing the up
the desired menu item. Press the left arrow “” to step back to the previous menu or press
the function switch the go back to the root of the menu.
A blinking dot-point appears when entering a page where parameters can be edited. This dotpoint is your cursor and can be moved between the parameters with the left and right arrows.
The parameter can be altered with the up
positioned next to it. Stepping back to the previous menu is done be moving the cursor to the
first parameter and pressing the left “” arrow.
Please note: Not all of the secondary functions are available in some operating modes.
See the detailed descriptions of the secondary functions (referred to as “menus”) further on in
this manual.

6. Getting started
1. Connect a Midi cable from SC-1 Midi Out to your system (See section 3)
2. Connect the 9VAC power supply to SC-1.
SC-1 is now functional.
To start using the SC-1 with your system, follow step 3 thru 11.
3. Select how you want the SC-1 to operate (See section 7)
4. Set up your controllers (See section 11)
5. Set up the scale of your external pedals used in P1/P2 (See section 14)

8. If PDL VAL is selected ON, set up the actual pedal value (See section 11)
9. Set up any Midi Program Change messages you want to send (See section 11)
10. Rename your presets with a unique title (See section 12)
Step 8, 9 and 10 is repeated in every preset used.
You are now ready to perform with the SC-1.
13
Page 14

7. Operating modes
The SC-1 can operate in several different modes. You can select any of these modes
depending on your performance situation.
Modes available:
• PRESETS Factory default.
In PRESET mode the SC-1 is performing like a standard MIDI Foot Controller.
125 presets divided into 25 banks containing 5 presets each.
• SONGS
In SONG mode the particular information stored in each of the 125 presets can be arranged
in any desired order, for access and recall during the performance of songs.
Up to 99 songs can be created.
• SET 1
In SET mode you can group and arrange the 99 songs in any desired order within set 1.
Set 1 can contain up to 50 songs.
• SET 2
In SET mode you can group and arrange the 99 songs in any desired order within set 2.
Set 2 can contain up to 50 songs.
• SET 3
In SET mode you can group and arrange the 99 songs in any desired order within set 3.
Set 3 can contain up to 50 songs
• SET 4
In SET mode you can group and arrange the 99 songs in any desired order within set 4.
Set 4 can contain up to 50 songs
• SET 5
In SET mode you can group and arrange the 99 songs in any desired order within set 5.
Set 5 can contain up to 50 songs.
• SLAVE
SLAVE mode is for use of multiple footswitch systems. One footswitch needs to be set to
preset/song/set1-5 and the others set to slave.
To select any of the modes press 2

GLOBAL PRESET
The SC1 (with software version 1.32 or higher) features a GLOBAL PRESET which can
accessed from any preset in any mode (Preset, Song or Set).
Pressing the preset button twice will activate the GLOBAL PRESET.
Press the preset button again, and you’re back where you came from.

8. Preset mode
The basic (factory default) mode of the SC-1 is the PRESETS mode. This is the standard
preset/bank mode known from most MIDI foot controllers.
The SC-1 utilizes a total of 125 presets divided into 25 banks containing 5 presets each.
Each preset is capable of storing all MIDI program change and controller change data
programmed (See section 9 to learn how to set up the MIDI data)
Each bank/preset has it’s own 12-character display – divided in two sections – one 2character display and one 10-character display.
The 2-character display will show the bank number, and the 10-character display will show the
unique title of each preset (See section 12).

PEDL SCALE
Enables you to specify the type of pedal used in P1/P2.
Possible values are…
• PDL LIN (Pedal Linear) for linear taper of the expression pedal.
• PDL LOG (Pedal logarithmic) for audio/logarithmic taper.
• PDL MOM (Pedal Momentary) for momentary footswitch.
• PDL LATCH (Pedal Latching) for latching footswitch.
Selecting the logarithmic taper will try to make a audio/logarithmic taper act like a linear one.
When using a momentary or latching switch for control change functions, PDL MOM (Pedal
Momentary) should be selected.
The factory setting for these parameters is PDL LIN (Pedal Linear).

15. Cables
If you want to use the ports P1/P2 on the SC-1, it is important to use proper cables.
P1/P2 uses a standard ¼” TRS stereo jack, and is configured as follows:
TIP is pedal input
RING is pedal output
SLEEVE is ground.
RING
The ring of this jack is internally wired to +5V through a 200 Ohm resistor, so that external
short circuits will not damage the unit.
GND
15.1 USING AN EXTERNAL EXPRESSION PEDAL
A standard ¼” TRS stereo jack cable provides connection for an external expression pedal,
like the Boss FV300L pedal.
15.2 USING AN EXTERNAL VOLUME PEDAL
A ¼” TRS stereo jack cable into 2 x ¼” mono jack cable provides connection for an external
volume pedal, like the Ernie Ball 6166 volume pedal.
The cable should be configured as the drawing shown below.
TIP

Output
15.3 USING AN EXTERNAL SWITCH
A standard ¼” mono jack cable provides connection for an external momentary switch, like
the Boss FS-5U.
