Chase Bliss CXM 1978
The CXM 1978 reverb with its ten factory algorithms on the switches, named in full, so a preset is one press rather than a menu. Bass, mids, cross, treble, mix and pre-delay sit on the knobs, and type, diffusion, tank mod and clock are stepped switches. Pages 2 and 3 duplicate page 1's knobs, so there are two spare pages to reassign.
Checked against the manufacturer's MIDI chart Every control matches the maker's own published MIDI implementation. It has not been played into the device itself.
