The "
PEDAL
" field, which can be selected using [F4] or the cursor keys and [ENTER],
displays the number of the pedal, which can be changed from "1" to "2" using the Data
Entry devices. In the "
TO
" field, the Data Entry devices are used to set the type of control
to be assigned to the pedal selected previously. The MC 2000 offers the user 14 controls
which can be assigned to each of the two system pedals, as well as the OFF condition
which disables the pedal. These 14 controls have been selected because they are
generally used in a large number of patches. They are:
1. GENERAL SUSTAIN (CC 64)
2. GENERAL VOLUME (CC 7)
3. GENERAL EXPRESSION (CC 11)
4. GENERAL PAN-POT (CC 10)
5. GENERAL REVERB (CC 91)
6. GENERAL CHORUS (CC 93)
7. GENERAL SOSTENUTO (CC 66)
8. GENERAL SOFT (CC 67)
9. GENERAL MODULATION (CC 1)
10. SONG START-STOP
11. SONG PAUSE-CONTINUE
12. PATCH UP
13. PATCH DOWN
14. PANIC
Each of the two system pedals can also behave as a non-system pedal (ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL) and thus act in the specific way assigned within each patch.
For example, if pedal 1 has been designated as system sustain pedal, so that it acts as a
Sustain pedal in all patches, nothing prevents the user from setting it to act simultaneously
as a modulation pedal in patch B23 (for example), to meet special expression
requirements of the song or the part of the song performed with that patch. The
programmer must use his common sense and not combine two contradictory functions on
the same pedal.
So, to sum up, these two pedals can operate in three different ways:
1. as system pedals only, with functions independent of the patch, assigned in the
SYSTEM CONTROL.
2. as ASSIGNABLE PEDALS only, with functions which vary from patch to patch and are
set in the relative EDIT section.
3. both as system pedals and as assignable pedals, acting simultaneously on 2 different
controls, which must not conflict with each other.
