Special Page Function 3:  

0-127 / 1-128 Patch Offset 

Some MIDI program changers use the numerical grouping of 0-127, others use

1-128. With Special Page Function 3, you can choose the corresponding group-

ing of the SansAmp PSA to match. If you have selected Special Page Function 3,

the display will show either 00 or 01.

Special Page Function 2:  Define MIDI Mapping

This function defines internal MIDI mapping. That is, it tells your SansAmp PSA

which program to call up when a MIDI Program Change command comes in.

For example, if your MIDI footcontroller sends out a Program Change com-

mand that says Program 26, and you want your SansAmp PSA to respond to

that Program 26 message by calling up preset number 15, you can set the

SansAmp PSA to map that message to the appropriate location. NOTE: The

SansAmp PSA comes from the factory with its MIDI map set by default to map

incoming programs to the same numbered displayed programs. That is, MIDI 01

calls up Program 01, etc. 

To remap a MIDI Program Change command, here’s what you do:

Select function 02 and push Save. The left digit will blink with the right digit dim,

telling you that the display is showing the number of the incoming program. To

change that number, use the Up and Down switches to select a new number.

Now push the Save button and the right digit blinks; the left digit dims, indicat-

ing the SansAmp PSA program that will be affected by the incoming MIDI 

Program Change number that you selected. To change the program, use the Up

and Down buttons. Then push the Save button twice to store your change. The

display will then flash 00 to indicate you’re back in the Special Page menu. You

may now choose either a new Special Page function, or press Save again to exit.

If you don’t make a choice in about 15 seconds, the display stops blinking, indi-

cating the SansAmp PSA is in Bypass Program 00.
