When the parameter was set to MAX=0 (0%), MIN=1.0
(100%), the expression pedal changes the parameter as
follows.
11.
To switch the effect module being controlled by RTM
on and off, push the expression pedal fully down.
The expression pedal of the GFX-8 incorporates a push- down
switch that is activated when the pedal is pushed fully down in
play mode. The switch serves to turn the RTM controlled
module on and off.
For example, use the edit mode to set the DRIVE and
MOD modules to RTM control, so that one module is on
and the other module is off, and store the patch. When
you call up this patch in play mode, you can switch
between RTM control of the two modules each time you
fully depress the expression pedal.

When the GFX-8 is in manual mode or edit mode, the CONTROL switch (foot switch 4) can be used for real-time control. If you
program the module to be controlled beforehand, you can for example use the CONTROL switch during a performance to boost
the DRIVE module or to input the delay time with tap input.

Using the CONTROL Switch
1.
Select the patch for which you want to use the
CONTROL switch.
2.
Press the TOTAL key twice, so that the LED is flashing
green.
3.
Use the PARM knob 2 to assign a module to the
CONTROL switch.
While the TOTAL key is flashing green, turning the PARM
knob 2 sets the CT SW parameter which selects the module to
assign to the CONTROL switch.
The following settings are available.
• oF
CONTROL switch is not active for this patch.
• dS CONTROL switch controls DRIVE module.
• Eq CONTROL switch controls EQ module.
• Md
CONTROL switch controls MOD module.
• rv CONTROL switch controls DLY/REV module.
The actual function performed when pressing the
CONTROL switch depends on the module and effect (see
page 19 - 29).
4.
Store the patch and return to play mode.
5.
Hold the BANK DOWN key down for at least 1 second
to activate the manual mode.
The function assigned to the CONTROL switch is active in
manual mode (and edit mode).
6.
Push the CONTROL switch.
The function assigned to the CONTROL switch in that patch can
be carried out. (For each effect, one of the following functions is
assigned. This assignment is fixed and cannot be changed.)
• Boost on/off
The switch serves to further boost the DRIVE module. This
function can be used for all effects in the DRIVE module.
• Module bypass/Mute
While the CONTROL switch is being pressed, the module
effect is bypassed. Can be used for the EQ module and
some effects of the MOD and DLY/REV modules.
• Tap input
The delay time setting can be made (edited) by pressing the
CONTROL switch in the desired interval. Can be used for
delay effects in the MOD and DLY/REV modules.
• Parameter value increase/decrease
While the CONTROL switch is being pressed, the rate
parameter of the flanger effect etc. becomes maximum.
7.
To return to the play mode, press the BANK DOWN
key once more for at least 1 second.
