EFFECT
By assigning a desired parameter to the virtual expression pedal,
you can produce an effect as though you were operating a physical
expression pedal to change the volume or tone quality in real time.
The virtual expression pedal system provides the following two types
of functions, and you can use the SOURCE setting for ASSIGN 1–8 to
choose the desired type.
* If you want to use the internal pedal or wave pedal, set the ASSIGN
parameter MODE to “MOMENT.”
Internal pedal
If SOURCE is set to “INT PDL,” the virtual expression pedal will begin
operating when started by the specified trigger (INT PDL TRIGGER),
modifying the parameter specified by TARGET.
The value changes in a curve
When the trigger occurs
Wave pedal
If SOURCE is set to “WAVE PEDAL,” the virtual expression pedal will
cyclically modify the parameter specified by TARGET in a fixed wave
form.
Always changes in a fixed curve regardless of the
actual pedal
About the Range of a Target’s Change
The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the
range defined by “Min” and “Max,” as set on the MS-3.
When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as
an on/off switch, “Min” is selected with Off (CLOSED), and “Max” is
selected with On (OPEN).
When using an external expression pedal or other controller that
generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of the setting
changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and
maximum values. Also, when the target is of an on/off type, the
median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in
determining whether to switch it on or off.

* The range that can be selected changes according to the target
setting.
* When the “minimum” is set to a higher value than the
“maximum,” the change in the parameter is reversed.
* The values of settings can change if the target is changed after
the “minimum” and “maximum” settings have been made. If
you’ve changed the target, be sure to recheck the “minimum”
and “maximum” settings.
