Using a variable pedal to control MIDI volume (using In #1)

Although this example uses MIDI volume (controller #7) , you could substitute another continuous

controller (eg: controller #1 – modulation) or a different type of MIDI message entirely.

Remember, all you are actually doing is replacing the operation of a slider with a foot pedal,

therefore anything you can do with a slider you can also do with a pedal.

Choose a slider to replace – eg Program #0 Slider #1 which already sends MIDI volume on

Channel #1.This slider already does what you want – now you need to make the external variable

pedal do it instead of the slider.

Select ‘Edit Program Data’ – screen reads:

EDIT`PROGRM`DATA

Press the [––>] button twice – screen reads:

Ext Contrl In #1
```Unassigned

Use the Data Wheel to select slider #1 – screen reads:

Slider`Number``1

(the slider you are replacing with a variable pedal plugged into the In #1 jack socket)

Press the [––>] button to move to the next screen
Use the Data Wheel to select ‘Input = Pedal’ – screen reads:

Input`=`Pedal

Press the [STORE] key to save your data

UPDATING`MEMORY

Note the pedal will now control MIDI volume on channel #1 and the slider will be inoperative whilst you are

using Program 0.The pedal assignments only apply to a single program so if you want them to apply to

several programs, you need to set them up in each one.

Using a switch pedal for control of volume mute and reset (using In #2)

Choose a button to replace – eg Program #0 Button #1 which already sends mute and reset on Channel #1

This button already does what you want – now you need to make the external pedal do it instead of the button.

Select ‘Edit Program Data’ – screen reads:

EDIT`PROGRM`DATA

Press the [––>] button four times – screen reads:

Ext Contrl In #2
```Unassigned

Use the Data Wheel to select button #1 (the button you are operating with a switch pedal plugged into the

In #2 jack socket)

Press the [––>] button to move to the next screen

Use the Data Wheel to select:

Sw`On=Break`(Hi)

Press the [STORE] key to save your data
