Whenever leaving the unit unattended for long periods, be sure to unplug the AC
adapter from the power source to avoid creating a fire hazard.
Take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to excessive pressure or
weight.
Do not press the switches on the unit with a bare foot, or unexpected injury may
result.
Do not use solvents (such as benzine, paint thinner) on the unit, since these may
dull the finish or damage the surface.
Warning
Never try to disassemble, or modify the unit.
Stop using the unit if you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from it and
unplug the AC adapter from the outlet.

Handling Precautions
• Never connect or disconnect plugs to/from the input/output terminals on the LDP-1 when the external device that drives speakers is powered.
Doing so can cause noises and damage the speakers.
• Avoid applying excessive force to the tact switches and input/output terminals on the LDP-1.
• If the unit malfunctions or behaves erratically, cease operation at once and contact your local dealer or Free The Tone directly.

Parameter: 000-000-001 to 127-127-128
The LDP-1 is an LED display unit that can show up to 12 characters. By connecting with the Free The Tone ARC-4, it can show the bank/preset
titles set on the ARC-4. The LDP-1 has a memory that can store up to 500 presets and show labels on it without the ARC-4. These presets can be
recalled from an external MIDI device.
Each preset can store the tempo information. The tempo saved in each preset can be represented on the LEDs like a metronome. Tempos can be
shown on the LEDs based on external MIDI clock or internal clock.
Internal Memory mode is used when the LDP-1 is connected and operated with a MIDI device other than the ARC-4. Presets are set by using the
LDP-1’s internal memory. The memory can store up to 500 presets and preset can be recalled by specifying with the combination of MSB, LSB, and
program change number. Up to 128 presets can be recalled if no MSB and LSB is specified.
