PEDAL STATUS
The PEDAL STATUS is for use with the built-in expression pedal. By setting the RUN STAT
parameter to ON, the UTOPIA G100 will track the position of the expression pedal (assuming the
expressoin pedal is presently or had been previously assigned to "PEDAL VOLU") and vary the
preset volume accordingly from preset to preset. NOTE: When the RUN STAT is ON, the expres-
sion pedal will assume the last PEDAL VOLUME status received. Please see examples below:
Example 1..... lets assume that you had RUN STAT turned ON and that the preset you are
using and the preset you are switching to both have the expression Pedal Controllers assigned
PEDAL VOLUME. If you were to reduce the volume of the current preset with the expression
pedal and then changed to another preset, the new preset will assume the present position of the
expression pedal. You WILL be able to increase the volume of the new preset with the expression
pedal as both presets had the expression Pedal Controllers assigned to PEDAL VOLUME.
Example 2 .... assuming you have RUN STAT turned ON and you have reduced the volume of
the current preset with the expression pedal and changed to a preset where the expression Pedal
Controllers were assigned to control the Pitch Shift or Chorus or Reverb, etc. the new preset will
assume the previous preset's pedal volume. However, you will NOT be able to use the pedal to
increase the volume as you did in example 1. With RUN STAT turned ON, you would need to
switch back to a preset that had the expression Pedal Controllers assigned to pedal volume, use
the expression pedal to increase the volume and then switch back to the other preset.
This is something you should take into consideration when using the RUN STAT function.
The PEDAL STATUS parameter displays the current preset volume as determined by the
pedal position.
NOTE: When the RUN STAT parameter is set to OFF, the UTOPIA G100 only recognizes
volume changes from the expression pedal if PEDAL VOLUME is assigned to the pedal and it
has been physically moved by the user.
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT knob clockwise until PEDAL STATUS is dis-
played. Step 1
