The Pedal inputs and 

/

+

 buttons can be configured to send a multi-part message, 

consisting  of  a  Program  Change,  Bank  MSB,  and  Bank  LSB  message  when 
pressed. This is useful to select preset sounds from a specific bank on a connected 
synthesizer or virtual instrument. When set to

buttons will light 

white

 

temporarily when pressed.

CC Increment/Decrement 

 

 

 

 

It is possible to configure the Pedal inputs and

 buttons to increase or decrease 

a  value each time it is pressed. This is useful if you want to step through  values 
one by one each time a pedal or button is pressed.  

 

 

Each  pedal  will  only  increment  or  decrement  its  own  parameter  value.  In  other 

words, assigning one pedal to increment a parameter and another to decrement 
the same parameter will cause the first pedal to send values such as 1, 2, 3, etc. 
Pressing the second pedal will send  values such as 127, 126, 125, etc,  and  will 
not decrement from where the first pedal left off (for example 2, 1, 0).   

 

 

When  set  to 

CC  Inc

/

Dec

,  each  of  the  buttons  will  light  up 

blue

  briefly  when

Press 

+

  to  increment  to  the  value  of  127  and  then  pressing  the

126, 125, etc, and will decrement from where the

Use the Hammer 88 editor application to change these messages.
