receipt of the MIDI data, the UPDATING PROCEDURE (see point 11.1) will be displayed, after

As we have seen in point 9.6 of this manual, the OB-12 allows specific functions to be assigned to
the pedals which can be connected to the rear sockets. We have already discussed how to assign
functions to the pedals in the Program environment, with definition of various assignments on the
basis of the Parts which the Program comprises. In this case, the functions assigned to the pedals
depend on the Program selected.
On the other hand, if functions are assigned to the pedals in the System environment, they will
remain active regardless of the Program selected. You can therefore use more common functions
with the aid of the assignments in the System environment and use more customised functions,
suitable for the selected Program, with assignment of functions in the Program environment.
To access the video pages for assignment of the functions to the pedals, select field 5-FOOT
CTRL in the EDIT SYSTEM MENU. The display will show the following video page:

FUNCTION: assigns the function to the footswitch pedal. The functions which can be assigned
