Aes - Hughes & Kettner TriAmp Mark 3 Manual

TriAmp Mark 3 – Manual 1.1
Direct Mode: Direct Mode lets you trigger a direct program change via
Bank Up/Down. In this mode, the TSM-432 will not wait for your input
by way of the A, B, C, or D buttons, and will switch directly: for example,
from preset B in bank 16 to preset B in bank 17 (Up) or bank 15 (Down).
Here's how to activate Direct Mode:
• Press and hold FX, and then press Preset A.
• First release Preset A, and then FX. The decimal point in the display
will light up.
Follow the same sequence to deactivate Direct Mode.
Note: Direct Mode is a temporary mode. The TSM-432 automatically re-
verts to the standard mode when powered off.
Note: The LEDs above/below their respective buttons do not always in-
dicate the selected channel and status of the Stomp Boost. If you select
channels or activate Boost manually on the amp, the TSM-432 does not
recognize the changes!
9.4 Assigning Control 1 and 2
Assigning controller numbers to the two Control inputs works as follows:
Control 1: To access the edit mode, press and hold the FX and D buttons
simultaneously until the display shows the controller number and the dot
behind the second digit starts flashing. You can now change the controller
numbers using the Up and Down buttons. Store the selected controller
number by pressing D. The dot will stop flashing, and the TSM-432 will
return to normal mode.
Control 2: Press and hold FX and C until the display shows the controller
number and the dot behind the first digit starts flashing, then release
them. Change the controller numbers using the Up and Down buttons.
Store and exit by pressing the C button.

The following functions can be assigned:
Name Control Range
Number
Mute 9 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
FX Loop 55 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
FX Serial 54 0 – 63 = parallel, 64 – 127 = serial
Stomp Boost 64 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
Noise Gate 63 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
Channels 31 0 – 12 = channel 1 (Amp 1A)
13 – 37 = channel 2 (Amp 1B)
38 – 63 = channel 3 (Amp 2A)
64 – 87 = channel 4 (Amp 3A)
88 – 112 = channel 5 (Amp 3A)
113 – 127 = channel 6 (Amp 3B
Tube 1/2 58 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
Tube 3/4 59 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
Tube 5/6 60 0 – 63 = off, 64 – 127 = on
Panel 88 0 – 127, 0 = min (off), 127 = max

Switch or Pedal?
A switch will always send the minimum value when switched off (0) and
the maximum value when switched on (127), while an expression pedal
can send any value between 0 and 127. However, expression pedals can
be used for switching function as well – if you set your pedal below the
middle position, it will switch the assigned function off; above the middle
position will switch it on.

10 AES

(EU version only)
Referred to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1275/2008, electrical and
electronic devices need to be equipped with an energy-saving mechanism
which automatically switches the device off after not being used for a
certain period of time. On your TriAmp Mark 3, this mechanism is called
AES.
AES can be activated and deactivated with the mini switch right next to
the speaker jack. The factory default is AES on; the mini switch is in the
left position. In this mode, the amp will automatically be switched off
after a phase of silence of about 90 minutes. The phase of silence is reset
and starts again as soon as the amp receives an input signal (e.g. by you
playing a note). A quite gentle signal is enough to trigger the restart of the
90-minute phase of silence until the amp will switch off automatically
again. After automatically being shut down by AES, the amp can be
switched back on by flipping the Power/On and Play/Standby switch off
and then on again.
Note
This function is only
available via MIDI.
To make selecting
a channel via MIDI
commands easy
with third party
controllers, we
recommend using
easy to remember
values, such as:
Channel 1 = 10
Channel 2 = 30
Channel 3 = 50
Channel 4 = 80
Channel 5 = 100
Channel 6 = 120
If only one pair of
tubes is active, you
cannot switch it off.
You can use a single
footswitch to switch
the illumination
on (to maximum
brightness)/off or
an expression pedal
to dim it from max
to min.
