Thank you for purchasing the Radial MR5™, a useful tool that allows Radial JR5™ foot switch compatible devices to

respond to MIDI control signals.

Before using the MR5 for the rst time we suggest that you review this manual. It will explain what features and functions

can be controlled by MIDI control and program changes, along with channel selection and other conguration options.

Once you are done, if you nd yourself asking questions, please visit the FAQ page on our web site. This is where we post

questions and answers for players like yourself. Then, if you still nd yourself looking for more, we invite you to send us

an email at [email protected] and we will do our very best to reply in short order.

OVERVIEW

The MR5 is a translator that takes the MIDI data output from a controller or sequencer and converts the commands to the

JR5 footswitch language. This allows any Radial device that employs the JR5 to be integrated into MIDI controlled guitar

rigs, or be used in sequenced performances.

The Radial JR5 itself employs a proprietary interface that uses

standard XLR connectors. It is important to note that the reason

the JR5, or products like the JX44 or JX42, do not employ MIDI

is that the MIDI protocol is not designed to carry power. When

developing the interface for the JR5 remote, we wanted the power

to come from the device (example JX44) so that local power

would not be required. Furthermore, the XLR is a much more

robust connector than a typical 5-pin DIN and is readily available

from any PA company. It is also extendable which means that on

larger stages, you can simply connect two or more XLR cables

in line to achieve the required cable length.

MAkING CONNECTIONS

1. Connect the MIDI output from your MIDI

controller or pedal board to the input of the MR5

using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable. Additional

MIDI devices can be daisy chained via the

MR5’s MIDI THRU connector.

2. Connect the MR5 XLR outputs to the JR5 inputs

of the Radial JX44, JX42 or any other product

that employs a JR5 footswitch. The MR5 is

equipped with dedicated XLR outputs for both

‘Amps’ and ‘Guitars’. No power is required, as

the MR5 will derive its power from the Radial

device that you are controlling.

3. If you wish to use a JR5 footswitch in conjunction

with the MR5, simply connect one of its XLR

jacks to the MR5 and the other to the JR5 input

on your Radial device. The pedal will now be

in-line with the MR5, and your Radial device will

respond to commands from both.

Radial Engineering Ltd. MR5™ User Guide

Not only can the MR5 be used to control both JX44 and the JX42, the MR5 can also be used in conjunction with the JR5 remote

control. This allows a musician to still have their stage remote and have the MR5 send control messages to the JX44 or JX42

from a midi sequencer, or MIDI control pedals, or MIDI playback, from a MIDI track from back ground orchestration software.

This allows for incredible exibility for live performances to not just replace the JR5 remote as an option, but to augment and

add extra functionality to a full JR5 - JX44 - JX42 system.

MIDI SETUP

The MR5’s MIDI channel selection and conguration is

set via the 8 DIP switches on the side panel. It can be

setup to respond to an individual MIDI channel (1-16), or

put into OMNI mode to respond to messages sent on all

MIDI channels simultaneously. Once each switch is set to

its desired position, push the SAVE/RESET button on the

side panel to set the conguration as the changes will not

take affect until you do so. DIP switch details can be found

on the following pages.

OMNI Mode

OMNI Mode allows the MR5 to respond to control and

program changes on any MIDI channel (1-16). Setting

the MR5 to a specic channel is particularly useful when

linking multiple MIDI devices as they can all be set to only

respond to changes on their assigned channel. Some MIDI

equipment will default to OMNI mode when rst switched

on, so it is important to check congurations upon power-

up and re-select the channel on your device if necessary.

LED

The side panel is equipped with LED indicators to show you

the status of the MR5. The power LED indicates that the

MR5 is receiving power from your Radial device from the

JR5 connection. The STATUS LED illuminates when a midi

signal is being transmitted to the MR5. The MIDI indicator

shows when a midi device is connected to the MR5.

messages on the channel selected with switches 1-4. When in the DOWN position, Omni mode is ON and the MR5 will respond

to MIDI messages sent on all channels.

MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART (CONT. NEXT PAGE)

The MR5 is setup to respond to both MIDI Control Changes and Program changes. Control changes can select both guitars and

individual ampliers on the JX44. Program changes are reserved for amplier selection only, which allows for custom congurations

with multiple ampliers on devices like the JX44. The following chart shows which instruments and ampliers will be activated

when the MR5 sees various Control and Program changes sent by your MIDI pedal board or sequencer:

DIP switches 6-7:

The amplier switching capability of the MR5 can be selected using MIDI Control

Changes, Program Changes, or both. Switches 6 and 7 select how the MR5 will

respond to these messages.
