6. Controlling an effect from an

external device

You can also control an insert effect in realtime by using
an expression pedal such as the EXP-2 (foot controller) or
an external MIDI controller.

For the effect parameters that can be controlled, refer to
“Effect Parameter List” (→p.137).
1. Connect an expression pedal (separately sold

option: EXP-2 foot controller) or external MIDI
controller. (
p.10)

2. Select the external device that will control the

effect.
Access the [SYSTEM/USB] “Control” tab page.
In “Device (CtrlChgDevice),” select “Pedal” if you
wish to use an expression pedal, or select a MIDI
message if you wish to control via MIDI. (→p.91)

If you set “Device (CtrlChgDevice)” to be controlled
by a MIDI message other than “Pedal,” you must set
the [SYSTEM/USB] “MIDI” tab page “GlobalCh
(GlobalChannel)” setting to match the MIDI channel
of the external MIDI device that is transmitting the
control messages.

3. Select the insert effect that you wish to control.

Use “Asn(#) (CtrlChgAssign)” to select the insert
effect that will be controlled.

4. Select the effect program that you wish to control.

In the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsEff1”–“InsEff4” tab
pages, choose the insert effect that you selected in
step 3.
Select “EffectNumber,” and rotate the [VALUE] dial
to select the effect program.
If the selected effect includes a control function, and
the conditions allow the effect to be controlled, a “#”
symbol will be added at the end of the effect program
name.

5. Specify the parameter to be controlled, and the

range of control.
Press the “(Effect Program Name)” button.
The “Effect Algorithm” dialog box that makes up that
effect program will appear.

Press the “Cntrl Icon” button to access the “Con-
trolDevice” dialog box.

Select “Param,” and rotate the [VALUE] dial to select
the parameter that you wish to control.
Rotate the [VALUE] dial to specify the maximum
value in “Max,” and the minimum value in “Min.”
When you have finished making settings, press the
“OK” button.
In the “EffectAlgorithm” dialog box, press the “OK”
button.

If you wish to save the above settings, save your
data as described on “5. Editing an effect” step 8
(→p.56).

6. Operate the expression pedal or external MIDI

controller to control the effect.
