Introduction
Since the early 1980’s, musicians and composers have used a means of communication titled
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). This protocol allows computers, electronic
keyboards, sound generators, and other electronic musical instruments to talk to each other. An
example of a basic MIDI link would be an electronic keyboard and separate sound/tone generator.
A MIDI cable enables the keyboard to talk to and control the tone generator electronically.
Pressing the middle C on the keyboard sends a message to the tone generator that says, “HEY!
Play middle C”. Notes are not the only items sent via MIDI; the keyboard can also control the
tone generator’s voice, volume, pitch, etc.
The m instrument is made up of one or more batons and a base station unit. It is a
MIDI controller like the keyboard described above. When you play the m batons, the
base station unit sends note on/off information to the tone generator just like pressing keys on the
keyboard. The m base station also lets you program what voice and note each of your
batons plays.

General Description
Batons
The m baton lets you play and mute a musical note by sending radio messages to the
m Base Station. The baton has a range of at least 50 feet. Each baton is marked with
note designators on labels located on the top and end (Figure 1).
When the baton is lifted from a horizontal position it will power up. This is indicated by the red
power LED on the top of the baton housing just above the note designator. Shortly after you set
the baton on a table, it will power itself down. There is no power switch for the baton.
The baton is played with the note designator upright and facing you. Rotating the baton forward
and down, and snapping your wrist to halt the baton’s motion plays a note. The faster you move
the baton and snap your wrist the louder the note will sound (Figure 2).
Notice the small round light sensors on top and bottom near the end of the baton housing.
Covering up either of these sensors will mute the baton. So placing the baton down on a table or
touching it to your shoulder covers a light sensor and mutes any sounding note played by that
baton. Covering the sensor with your finger will not mute the sound; only non-transparent objects
will cause muting.

Baton Charging Case
Each baton is powered by a rechargeable battery. When not in use the batons should be stored in
their charging case (Figure 3). Charge the batons by connecting the charging case to a 110V AC
outlet with the included power supply (Figure 4). Fully insert each baton into its labeled hole in
the charging case and the red indicator on the end of the baton should light. This indicator lets you
know that the baton is charging. Charge the batons for 14 hours (overnight is fine) and only when
necessary to extend the number of recharge cycles. Average time between charges is
approximately 40 hours of 1 strike/second playing.

Base Station
The m base station is the interpreter between your batons and the MIDI world. It
communicates with General MIDI System Level 2 (GM2) devices. These devices, like the tone
generator you are using, support a standard set of voices detailed in the last pages of this
document. Your system operates in one of two modes: Single Mode or Multi Mode.
In Single Mode, all powered batons play one selected voice of the maximum available, i.e. 4
octaves of Xylophone. Each voice’s volume and register, termed a Single Mode preset, can be
changed and stored for later use.
In Multi Mode, the base station can be programmed to allow your batons to play up to 16 different
simultaneous voices or parts. One or more batons may be assigned to each of the parts you
program. This combination of different parts and batons assignments creates one Multi Mode
preset, which you can store for later use. These presets can be used for pieces with different lead
and accompaniment voices or just for adding individual percussion instruments to an arrangement.
The m base station has the following front panel controls (Figure 5):
POWER: powers the base station unit.
SINGLE: activates Single Mode of operation where all batons play one voice.
MULTI: activates Multi Mode of operation where batons can play 16 different voices.
MUTE: quenches all notes and prevents further batons from sounding.
PART: allows setup of different instrument parts in a Multi Mode preset.
BATON: allows you to assign each baton to a part and note in a Multi Mode preset.
STORE: saves changes you make to either a Single or Multi preset.
COPY: copies the selected parameter across a range of batons.
SCROLL: rotating scroll changes the highlighted parameter; pressing scroll advances the
cursor to the next parameter.
CONTRAST: changes the contrast of the LCD screen for different viewing angles.
The m base station also has a green activity LED indicator for each baton. These
LED’s are positioned on a keyboard background at the top of the base station front panel. Each
LED will light when its corresponding baton is played. When the voice assigned to that baton is a
sustained voice, the light will stay on until the baton is muted; when the voice is percussive, the
light blinks for ¼ second. The lights are also used in MULTI mode to aid in preset editing. These
details are covered in the MULTI MODE section.

Single Mode
When the SINGLE button is pressed, the m base station enters Single Mode indicated by the
light on the SINGLE button. This operation forces all the batons to play the voice indicated on the display.
The voices number from 000-256: voices 001-256, detailed in TABLE 1 (see back of instructions),
include acoustic and electronic instruments, voice 000, detailed in TABLE 2 is a Drums/Percussion voice
that offers a wide array of percussion instruments. Each of these voices has a volume and transpose
parameter that can be modified and stored. Only the SCROLL knob is required to make changes to voice
settings in Single Mode. See how in the steps below.
On power-up the unit starts in Single Mode and
is set to Voice 001, Acoustic Grand Piano.
Notice the voice number 001 is highlighted.
Rotating SCROLL now will change that voice
up and down. Also note that the selected voice’s
name and current volume and register settings
are displayed.
Change the active voice by rotating SCROLL.
As you do, each voice’s volume and transpose
values will update on the display. If you play the
batons while doing this, the resulting sound will
also match the voice shown. In this case we
have selected voice 030, Marimba.
Press SCROLL to change volume and transpose
of the Marimba. This will first move the cursor
to the volume setting. The volume can be
changed from 0 (silent) to a maximum 127 by
rotating the SCROLL knob. Here we have
decided to trim the Marimba’s volume a bit by
rotating SCROLL to change the value from 127
to 120. The batons will all now play slightly
softer.
Pressing SCROLL again after making the
volume change will move the cursor to the
transpose parameter. The transpose parameter
allows pitch shifting of +/- 32 semitones by
rotating SCROLL. To get a higher register of the
Marimba playing from our set of batons, we
rotated SCROLL to shift the voice up 12
semitones, or one octave. Now the batons will
all play one octave higher than designated (G3
will play G4).

Bulletin 046-0836-000C
Parameter changes you save in any one of these presets are stored in non-volatile memory. They will be
in effect the next time you select that preset. These changes can be made and stored permanently for any
of the SINGLE mode presets. Additionally when you create parts in MULTI mode, these parameters will
be your starting point for the voice you select. Changes made in SINGLE mode will not, however, alter
previously created parts in MULTI mode.
Pressing SCROLL again after making the
transpose change will return the cursor to the
voice number. Note that the changes made are
still active. Before moving to another voice the
changes must be stored.
When you attempt to select a different preset or
press STORE you will be prompted to store the
changes. The volume and transpose parameters
will be replaced by a store prompt and the cursor
will move to a yes/no decision. The indicator on
the STORE button will light. Rotating SCROLL
will select YES for storing the changes or NO
for canceling the changes.
Press SCROLL with YES highlighted to store
the changed volume and transpose and return
you to the normal voice selection screen. Note
that the new changed parameters are stored and
displayed. From here you may select other
Single presets for playing and modification.

Multi Mode
When the MULTI button is pressed, the m base station enters Multi Mode indicated by the
light on the MULTI button. This allows each of the batons to play selected notes and voices. The Multi
presets number from 01-99. Each of these presets defines a set of voices or parts and which part and note
each baton plays.
When the PART button is pressed, the m base station enters Part Edit mode indicated by the
light on the PART button. Each part you define has a volume, transpose, and pan parameter that can be
modified and stored.
When the BATON button is pressed, the m base station enters Baton Edit mode indicated by
the light on the BATON button. Each baton can be programmed to play a note of one of the defined parts.
Typically the desired parts for an arrangement are first defined followed by assigning groups or individual
batons to play these parts. See how to create parts and assign batons to them in the example below.
Part Edit
When MULTI is pressed the last used Multi
preset is displayed. Rotate SCROLL to change
the highlighted preset up and down. The
MULTI preset’s name is displayed at the
bottom of the screen. ‘Blank’ implies that the
preset is empty.
Press SCROLL to activate the preset. When
activated the part settings of voice, volume, and
pan are sent to the tone generator. Also the
settings of voice and note for each baton are
activated. In this case the preset is empty so no
parts are defined.
Press PART to display the part settings for this
Multi preset. Because this Multi preset is
empty Part 01 is named ‘Blank’; we must add a
part.

Press SCROLL to add a new part. When a new
part is added it defaults to voice 001 Acoustic
Grand Piano. Note that the selected part’s voice
name and current volume, register, and pan
settings are displayed. Also all the green baton
LED’s on the front panel light up. This
indicates that all batons are assigned to Part 01.
Rotate SCROLL to select the desired voice for
this part. Here we changed part 01’s voice to
030, Marimba. The parameters stored for
Marimba in Single mode will appear
automatically for this part when the voice is
changed.
Press SCROLL after making the voice change
to move the cursor to the volume setting for
this part’s voice. Change the volume of the
Marimba part if desired by rotating SCROLL.
Press SCROLL after making any volume
change to move the cursor to the transpose
parameter. Change the transpose of the
Marimba part if desired by rotating SCROLL.
Press SCROLL after making any transpose
change to move the cursor to the pan
parameter. Change the panning or position in
the stereo sound field of the Marimba part by
rotating SCROLL. In this case we changed the
Marimba part to play fully on the left channel.
Press SCROLL after making the pan change to
return the cursor to the part number. Note that
the changes made are still active. Now a
Marimba part has been fully defined.

Rotate SCROLL clockwise to allow creation
of a new part. Up to 16 parts can be defined
in each Multi preset. The name ‘Blank’
implies that this part is empty. When you
move to Part 02, all baton LED’s turn off.
This tells you that no batons are assigned to
Part 02.
Press SCROLL to create Part 02. This brings
up voice 001 and its parameters so we can
now add a new voice to the preset. Let’s add
some percussion to our Marimba.
Rotate SCROLL to select a voice for Part 02.
Here we selected voice 000, Drums/
Percussion. The parameters stored for voice
000 in Single mode appear for this part when
the voice is selected. Perform Steps 6-9 to
make changes to this part. In this example
we’ll just change the panning.
Press SCROLL 3 times to move the cursor to
the pan parameter. Change the panning or
position in the stereo sound field of the part
by rotating SCROLL. Here we set the
Percussion part to play fully on the right
channel.
Press SCROLL after making the pan change
and the cursor returns to the part number.
Now a Marimba and a Drums/Percussion part
are fully defined. Perform steps 4 through 10
as necessary to enter settings for each of up to
16 parts in your arrangement.
When finished entering part information,
press STORE to save the changes. The cursor
moves to a yes/no decision and the indicator
on the STORE button will light. Rotate

Baton Edit
Press SCROLL with YES displayed and the
newly created parts will be stored. The name
of the preset has changed from ‘Blank’ to
‘Untitled’ because the preset is no longer
empty; it contains some part or baton
information.
When BATON is pressed the settings for the
G3 baton are displayed. This screen shows
that the G3 baton is assigned to play Part 01,
Marimba. When the baton is played, it will
sound a G4 Marimba note. It plays up an
octave because the Part has a +12 transpose.
The G3 activity LED will blink, helping to
identify which baton you are editing. In this
example we will assign two batons, G3 and
G#3 to play Drums/Percussion, Part 02.
Press SCROLL to change the Part setting for
this baton. The Part number highlights.
Rotate SCROLL to select the desired part.
Here we’ve select Part 02. The G4 note letter
changed to a percussion instrument name.
This parameter will display as such for the
Drums/Percussion voice only. All others will
show up as standard note/octave designations.
As set now, the G3 baton will play the High
Floor Tom.
Press SCROLL to change the note or, in this
case, percussion instrument setting for this
baton. The Plays Note setting highlights.
