MIDI Control - Commands & Setup

← Back to REACTOR Amp User Guide

Control your REACTOR with external MIDI devices. REACTOR accepts MIDI messages via the MIDI In port (5-pin DIN) on the rear panel.


MIDI Setup

  1. Connect your MIDI controller to the MIDI In port on the rear panel using a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable.
  2. Set your MIDI controller to transmit on Channel 1.
  3. Send MIDI messages to control effects, presets, and parameters.
MIDI In and REACTOR Control are mutually exclusive. You can use one or the other, but not both simultaneously.
