CONNECTING

Plug in a separate or isolated 9 volt, 2.1mm, 100mA minimum, tip negative DC Power supply into

the DC9V jack (B). Never power TEMPODE using a "daisy chained" power supply that is also

connected to audio effects.

(A) MIDI IN Jack

(B) DC Power Jack

(D) LED Indicator

(E) Tap Tempo Button

(F) Start/Stop Button

MIDI OUT

Connect TEMPODE to your MIDI device that will receive MIDI Clock by

plugging a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable into the MIDI OUT jack (C).

For best results, keep the MIDI output cable length under

fifteen (15) feet. If you need more distance,

use a MIDI repeater such as MIDI SPLITTY

MIDI Filtering

MIDI Song Select, Program Change, Control Change and Note On data (on any channel) that is

received at the MIDI IN jack is repeated at the MIDI OUT jack. All other MIDI data is filtered out.

Note: Units manufactured before October 1, 2014 also filter Note On data.

TEMPODE injects MIDI Clock Data as well as MIDI Start and Stop messages into the filtered data

stream.

START/STOP Button

The START/STOP Button (F) is used to start and stop the MIDI Clock data output.

TEMPODE

Owner’s Manual - p.3

v 1.5

If MIDI Clock is stopped, pressing the START/STOP Button will cause a MIDI Start command to be

sent, followed by a constant stream of MIDI Clock data. The Tempo will be reset and synchronized each

time the clock is started.

Note: MIDI Start, Stop, and Clock are not channel-specific

If MIDI Clock is running, pressing the START/STOP Button will cause a MIDI Stop command to be

sent.

Note: If the tempo has been altered but not saved, stopping then re-starting the same Program

does not recall the stored tempo, instead the altered tempo will continue to be used rather

than the stored tempo.

If a different Program is used, and later the previous Program is recalled, the previous

Program will recall its stored tempo rather than the altered tempo. In order to keep an

altered tempo, the Program must be saved, as described below.

TEMPO LED

TEMPODE uses a two-color Red/Yellow LED (D) to indicate clock status and tempo.

The TEMPO LED always flashes in time with the current tempo at quarter-note intervals. The

tempo corresponds to the standard quarter note interval of 24 MIDI Clocks.

When MIDI Clock is being sent, the LED flashes Red. When the clock is stopped, the LED flashes

Yellow.

During Tap and Programming modes, the LED flashes as discussed below.

TAP TEMPO Button

The TAP TEMPO Button (E) performs two separate functions, Tempo Control and Program Storage.

Tempo Control

Tempo can be continually adjusted on-the-fly with the TAP TEMPO Button, whether or not MIDI

Clock is being sent.

Pressing the TAP TEMPO Button two or more times adjusts the tempo to the interval between the

last two taps. The new tempo starts right after the second or most recent tap. The time between the last

two taps always corresponds to the length of a quarter note

Maximum tap interval = 2.5 seconds (24 bpm)

Minimum tap interval = 0.25 seconds (240 bpm)

While MIDI Clock is being sent, the LED flashes red, off. Upon the first tap, and during Tap Mode,

the LED will flash red, yellow.

Molten Voltage™

TEMPODE

Owner’s Manual - p.4

v 1.5

While MIDI Clock is stopped, the LED flashes yellow, off. Upon the first tap, and during Tap Mode,

the LED will flash yellow, red.

When Tap Mode ends (2.5 seconds after the last tap), the LED will resume its normal operation.

Note: Tempo changes affect only the current Program and are not stored unless the Program is

saved, as described in the next section.

Program Storage

TEMPODE stores the tempo associated with each of the 128 programs.

Holding down the first press of the TAP TEMPO Button for more than 2.5 seconds causes TEMPODE

to save the current tempo at the selected Program location.

Once the TAP TEMPO Button has been held long enough, the LED turns solid yellow. Release the

button to store the program. TEMPODE will then quickly flash red, off, yellow, off, 8x to let you know the

program was successfully stored.

At the time the tempo is stored, TEMPODE simultaneously sends a command to all

compatible Molten Voltage devices connected to the MIDI OUT, causing them to self-program

and store their settings for the selected Program.

Note: If you tap in a new tempo, you need to wait until you are done tapping and Tap Mode ends

(about 2.5 seconds after the last tap) before you can store the new tempo.

A new tempo received via a MIDI Control Change message (described below) can be stored

immediately.

Note: MIDI Clock output will stop while Molten Voltage self-program data is sent, and incoming

data might be missed. As such, it will usually be necessary to restart drum machines,

sequencers, etc. after storing a tempo.

MIDI IN

A master MIDI device which sends Program and/or Control Change messages to TEMPODE can be

connected by plugging a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable into the MIDI IN jack (A).

Note: TEMPODE responds to discrete Program and Control Change messages, as well as those

sent using the “running status” data format.

Program Change Messages

TEMPODE stores the MIDI Clock tempo for 128 Programs. Programs are recalled when a MIDI

Program Change message is received on the same MIDI Channel as TEMPODE (1, 15, or both). Channel

15 is the default and primary Molten Voltage channel. See below for information on Selecting MIDI

Channel.

Molten Voltage™

TEMPODE

Owner’s Manual - p.5

v 1.5

Note: TEMPODE will ignore Program Changes messages that are not on its same channel.

Upon receipt of a Program Change message the Tempo associated with that Program is recalled. If

MIDI Clock is being sent, any new clock speed is used immediately.

Selecting MIDI Channel

TEMPODE offers 6 options for receiving Program Change messages:

MIDI Channel Auto-start LED Pattern

Channel 1 only No Yellow LED blinking one at a time

Channel 1 only Yes Yellow LED blinking two at a time

Channel 15 only No Red LED blinking one at a time

Channel 15 only (DEFAULT) Yes Red LED blinking two at a time

Channel 1 auto, Channel 15 manual Yes, No 2 Yellow, 1 Red

Channel 1 manual, Channel 15 auto No, Yes 2 Red, 1 Yellow

Hold down the START STOP button when powering on to enter MIDI channel select mode. The LED

will be off until you release the button. Release the button and the LED will flash in one of six patterns

described in the table, above.

Press the TAP TEMPO button to cycle through the 6 options. Once you have selected your option,

press and release the START STOP again to exit MIDI Channel select mode and store the new setting.

MIDI Clock Auto-Start

If TEMPODE is set for auto-start (as described above), receipt of a MIDI Program Change message

causes TEMPODE to start sending MIDI Clock, if it was not already doing so. This is true even the current

program number was received again.

Note: Program Change messages never stop a running clock, they only start it.

If auto-start is not selected, MIDI Program Change messages only load the new tempo. If the

clock is not already running, it will not be started. In this situation, it is necessary to manually start the

clock using the START STOP Button or via a Control Change message, as described below.

MIDI Filtering

MIDI Song Select, Program Change, Control Change and Note On and Note Off data (on any

channel) that is received at the MIDI IN jack is repeated at the MIDI OUT jack. All other MIDI data is

filtered out.

Note: Units manufactured before October 1, 2014 also filter Note On data, units manufactured

before December 10, 2014 also filter Note Off data. Contact us with any questions.

Control Change Messages

TEMPODE will only respond to MIDI Control Change messages on Channels 1 or 15 (default). See

above for information on Selecting MIDI Channel.

80 Any Value.

* Values above these limits will be converted to the limit

** Low Range is the default at startup

Control Change tempo values will override the stored or tapped value (or any current value).

Note: Control Change tempo values will not be stored unless the program is stored, as

described above.

Tapping a tempo or receiving a Program Change message will override any Control Change tempo

value.

Changing the High/Low Range value will alter the tempo only if the last tempo value was a CC82

Tempo (half range) value. If the last value was not, or if the tempo was set via tap or program recall, the

range will still be switched, but will not have an effect until a CC82 Tempo (half range) value is received.

MIDI Phantom Power

TEMPODE is designed to receive MIDI Phantom Power at the MIDI IN Jack in the standard MIDI

Phantom Power format of Pin 1 = Ground and Pin 3 = 9-15 volts DC. Power in any other format

will not work and may damage TEMPODE.

If the DC Power Jack is used, that connection will override

the MIDI Phantom Power connection.

Note: Phantom Power is NOT passed through to the

MIDI OUT Jack.

Problem Solution

TEMPODE will not turn on. Plug in 9 volt DC, 2,1mm Tip Negative Power Supply.

Clicking or Noise Use a separate or isolated Power Supply for TEMPODE

MIDI device is not receiving MIDI

Clock

Make sure your other MIDI device is configured to receive MIDI Clock. Consult the User’s

Guide for that device.

TEMPODE not receiving MIDI

Program Change messages

Set your MIDI device to send MIDI Program Change messages on the same MIDI Channel

as TEMPODE. (see above regarding Selecting MIDI Channel).

MIDI Clock stops Check Power Supply connection.

Replace MIDI cable with one under 15 feet.

General Guidelines

Keep MIDI cables as short as possible. Long cables cause errors. If you need more length,

consider using a MIDI repeater.

If you are daisy chaining MIDI devices, the total MIDI cable length must be considered if

any MIDI devices do not amplify the data signal.
