Setup Mode 

If you are controlling devices made by other manufacturers or just need additional control over your settings, you can 

use Setup Mode to configure the MasterMind. Setup Mode is very powerful and as a result takes some time to learn, but 

if you spend the time to get comfortable with it, you can use it to configure the MasterMind for almost any rig. 

Setup Mode is divided into two sections: 

Global Setup

 and 

Preset Setup

. Global Setup is where you tell the MasterMind 

what devices are connected to it and what types of MIDI messages to send to them. Global Setup also allows you to set 

other parameters that apply to the MasterMind as a whole - things that don’t change from preset to preset. Also, you 

can use Global Setup to perform utility functions such as transfer settings to and from the MasterMind or return the 

MasterMind to factory default settings. 

Preset Setup is where you tell the MasterMind exactly what MIDI messages should be sent for each preset - what 

Program Change and Continuous Controller messages should be sent to each device connected to the MasterMind, 

and what the Function button and Expression Pedal should do for each preset. 

Entering Setup Mode 

To enter Setup Mode, press the 1 and 3 buttons at the same time. The indicator dot just left of the bank number will 

flash to tell you that you are now in Setup Mode and will remain flashing until you leave Setup Mode. 

Setup Mode Buttons 

When in setup mode, the buttons’ secondary functions are active. These are the gray labels found underneath most 

buttons. The buttons function as follows: 

1 / Function Select - Enters Preset Setup mode if not already in Preset Setup, or selects the next Preset parameter. The 

LED above this button turns on when in Preset Setup mode. 

2 / Program/CC Number - Changes the Program Number or Continuous Controller number associated with the current 

parameter. The LED above this button turns on when this button is active. 

3 / CC On/Off - Toggles a Continuous Controller value between 0 or 127. Or, for parameters that have On/Off values , 

toggles between On and Off. The LED above this button turns on when this button is active. 

4 / CC Value - Sets the value of a Continuous Controller. Every time you press this button, the value increments by 1, 

until it wraps around to 0. The LED above this button turns on when this button is active. 

5 / MIDI Ch - Sets the MIDI channel for a particular parameter. The LED above this button turns on when this button is 

active. 

Function / Global Select - Enters Global Setup mode if not already in Global Setup, or selects the next Global 

parameter. The LED above this button turns on when in Global Setup mode. 

Bank Down - In Preset Setup, decrements the current preset number by 1. Also used as the “No” button when the 

MasterMind is asking a Yes/No question.
