OOTSWITCHES
The XT provides two footswitch connectors using 1/4" mono (T/S) jacks. One, labeled
[LOCATE/PLAY/LRC REMOTE], allows locate and play commands; the other,
labeled [ PUNCH IN/OUT], is for punch in/out control.
The two footswitch jack functions are designed to be used with any momentary
single-pole/single-throw footswitch (either normally open or normally closed). These
should be plugged in prior to power-up so that the XT can configure itself for the type
of footswitch being used.
J
The Punch In/Out footswitch and XT Remote both work in conjunction with the
Rehearse and Auto Record features.

Both the [LOCATE/PLAY/LRC REMOTE] and [PUNCH IN/OUT] footswitch
connectors can be used to connect the hand-held XT remote control unit to provide
remote access of transport functions. You can even connect two XT remote controls
into the XT, one in each footswitch jack.
J
If using a normally open footswitch, the footswitch and remote control can be
interchanged, or used simultaneously with a Y-cord, without restarting the XT
(powering down and powering up). However, if using a normally closed footswitch,
the XT should be restarted after switching from footswitch to remote control or vice-
versa.
