ML5 User Manual
Introduction
Welcome to your ML5 Midi Controlled Switcher. This is a MIDI controlled audio loop switcher that enables you to make your non-MIDI-capable
effects part of your midi controller presets, giving you total control of your rig.
Front Panel
Switches A to E
Each of these switches represent the 5 audio loops available on the ML5. When a switch is lit, the loop is engaged and part of your signal chain.
When a switch is not lit, the loop is bypassed and not in the signal chain.
Learn Button
Press this button to put the ML5 in learn mode. When the Learn button is blinking, the ML5 is in learn mode.
Side Panel

MIDI Out
This is where MIDI messages flow out/thru from the ML5. This allows you to chain the ML5 with other devices. The ML5 does not generate any
MIDI messages itself.
MIDI In
This is where the ML5 receives MIDI messages.
Back Panel
In
This is where the audio chain begins.
Sends [A] to [E]
Audio signal flows out from the sends. Connect the sends to the inputs of your effect pedals.
Returns [A] to [E]
Audio signal flows in from the returns. Connect the outputs of your effects pedals to the returns.
Out
This is where the audio chain ends.
9VDC
Connect a 9VDC center negative power supply here. The ML5 requires at least 160mA.
Saving a Preset
1.
2.
3.
Saving a preset is simple:
Choose which loops you would like to be engaged in your preset. Do so by pressing on switches A to E. If a switch is lit, that particular
loop is engaged. In the image above, loops A, C and D are engaged.
Press the Learn button. The Learn button will blink, indicating that the ML5 is in Learn mode.
Send a Program Change message of your choice from your midi controller. The Learn button will flash quickly, indicating that your preset
has been saved. The selected loops will be engaged every time the ML5 receives the chosen PC message.
Global Settings
MIDI Channel
Hold down while powering up the ML5. Once the ML5 is powered up, release Switch E. The Learn button will flash quickly andSwitch E
continuously.
Then perform any of the following:
Function Description
Switch A Omni. The ML5 receives messages on all MIDI channels.
Switches B to E Sets ML5 MIDI channel to 1,2,3 or 4 respectively
Send PC/CC message Sending a PC or CC Midi message to the ML5 through a particular
MIDI channel sets it to that MIDI channel.
Muted Switching
The ML5 circuit is designed to keep switching noise to a bare minimum. However, you may have certain devices that are more prone to switching
noise, such as devices that use an internal charge pump.
The ML5 has a muted switching function for pedals that may produce noise or a pop sound when engaged/disengaged in an audio loop. The
audio mute can be applied to specific loops, such that the signal mutes only when those loops are being switched. The audio mute is applied to
all loops in the factory default settings.
To edit your muted loops, simply hold down before powering up your ML5. Once the Learn button is lit, release the switch, and theSwitch D
Learn button will blink continuously. Also, loops that have are programmed to be muted will engage (blue LEDs will be lit). From here, simply
select the loops you want muted, and then press the Learn button to save the settings.
Muted Switching Timing
Choose what channel you want the ML5 to receive MIDI messages on.
Hold down Switch D before powering up.
The timing of the mutes can be set. Release the switch once the LEARN LED lights up, andSimply hold down Switch C before powering up.
it should start blinking. Select between the shortest delay (Switch E) and longest delay (Switch A).
PC Toggle
The ML5 can be set to toggle between bypass and active by sending a PC message that engages the currently active loops. For example, if
loops A, B, and C are active, and if you send a PC message that is set to engage loops A, B and C, those loops will bypass instead. By default,
this setting is disabled.
To toggle between this setting, hold down before powering up. The LEARN LED should blink to acknowledge the setting.Switch B
Note: This feature was set to be permanent for the early batch of ML5s (Serial number less than #10020). However, we do acknowledge that not
all users appreciate this feature. Please email us with your order ID and ML5 serial number, and we will send a newly-programmed chip over.
You’ll just need to swap the chip out with the new one.
MIDI Implementation Mode
The ML5 has 2 separate MIDI implementations, which can be toggled between by holding down before powering up. The Learn LEDSwitch A
will blink to acknowledge the setting. The MIDI implementation can be referring to at the bottom of this manual.
Factory Reset
This will erase all your preset settings to the default settings, as well as set your MIDI channel to .1
MIDI Implementation
All ML5s use Mode 1 by default.
Mode 1

0 Values 0-63 Bypasses all loops
Values 64-127 Engages all loops.
1 to 5 (corresponds with Loops A to E) Values 0-63 Bypasses the individual loop
Values 64-127 Engages the individual loop.
6-10 (corresponds with loops A to E) Any value toggles the individual loop on and off.
Hold down Switch C before powering up.
Hold down Switch B before powering up.
