Expander Connection
The MCS-3000X Expanders may be physically attached to the
MCS-3400 or MCS-3800 Controller, forming a continuous
control surface.
(MCS-3800 shown with 3 MCS-3000X Expanders attached)
Alternately, the Expander can stand apart from the MCS
Controller. In that case, an optional set of simulated stone end-
bells may be purchased to make the Expander more attractive.
(MCS-3000X shown with Optional End Bells attached.)
The instructions for physical interconnection, and electrical
hookup are on the following pages.

Initialization
To clear the memory of the MCS-3800, and restore the Factory
Preset settings, hold both the
UP and DOWN cursor buttons while powering up the unit.
Initialized Settings
From JLCooper, the MCS-3800 or MCS-3400's user-assignable
memory is initialized to a “Factory Preset” set of (mainly)
Controller messages on MIDI Channels 2 through 16.
The exceptions are the Transport switches, which are
initialized to send MIDI Machine messages and (if option card
is installed) Sony 9-pin messages.
The initialized values are as follows:
(MIDI Channel is shown in base 10, Controller # is in Hex)
Switch MIDI Channel Controller #
F1 16 00
Shifted F1 “ 01
F2 “ 02, etc.
Shifted F8 “ 0F
W1 “ 10
Shifted W1 “ 11, etc.
Shifted W7 “ 1D
M1 “ 1E
Shifted M1 “ 1F, etc.
Shifted M5 “ 27
