MIDI

MIDI is a communication protocol that allows any controller sending standard MIDI PC and CC messages to control and/or automate parameter changes on the RK2000 pedal, instantly recall any of its 127 presets, and sync with external devices (such as an external MIDI clock).

MIDI Connection

The RK2000 utilizes the MIDI Association Type-A standard. For increased durability, it uses a 1/4″ TRS connector rather than a 3.5mm jack. Note that this unit does not feature MIDI Out or MIDI Thru.

Type-A Wiring Configuration:

Tip: Pin 5 (Voltage)

Ring: Pin 4 (Data)

Sleeve: Pin 2 (Ground)

MIDI Channel Setup

Each device in a MIDI chain is typically assigned a unique channel so it only responds to messages intended specifically for it. To set the channel on which the RK2000 receives data:

1. Connection Setup: Ensure the EXP/MIDI jack is configured for MIDI mode (see Power Up Functions).

2. Enter MIDI Channel Setup mode: Hold the RIGHT BUTTON while applying power until the LEFT LED and RIGHT LED blink RED.

3. Identify: The four Preset LEDs will flash the current channel according to the MIDI Channel Identification Codes chart below.

4. Adjust: Press the PRESET BUTTON to cycle through channels 1–16.

5. Save: Press either the LEFT or RIGHT FOOTSWITCH to store the setting and exit.
