CONTROL CHANGE
START/STOP
To program the F8 to send out up to eight Control Change (CC) messages when a footswitch is depressed, send it
the following System Exclusive programming command:
( and are optional)
All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end)
specifies mode of transmission as follows:
02: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 on release
12: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
22: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 after the duration specified by (see below)
32: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 when the footswitch is released after the
minimum duration (see below)
42: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 when the footswitch is released up to the
maximum duration (see below)
52: Cycle through each CC on depression of footswitch, send the corresponding CC of value 0 on release
62: Cycle through each CC on depression of footswitch, send nothing on release
= Footswitch Input (00 for Fsw1 ... 07 for Fsw8)
= Duration in 8 ms increments, or 1 s increments if preceded by 00. ( is only included if = 22, 32, or 42)
= Control Change number
= Control Change value (sent on depression of footswitch)
= MIDI channel (see MIDI channel table at end)
= Additional CC numbers and values (up to eight CCs total)
To program the F8 to send maximum volume on all MIDI channels when Fsw5 is depressed, set (Send CC
on depression of footswitch, nothing on release), (Fsw5), (volume is CC#7), (7F is the
hexadecimal value for 127, the maximum value), and (7F specifies all MIDI channels). These values result in
the following System Exclusive programming command:
F0 00 00 50 24 F7
To program the F8 to send MIDI Start and Stop messages, send it the following System Exclusive programming
command:
( is optional)
= Footswitch Input (00 for Fsw1 ... 07 for Fsw8)
specifies the mode of transmission as follows:
00: Send Stop on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
01: Send Start on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
omitted: Send Start on depression of footswitch, Stop on release
Note that the F8 can be programmed to toggle between Start and Stop each time the footswitch is depressed by
setting the Footswitch Toggle parameter to Toggle ON (see Device Parameters).
