OPERATION BASICS
This section describes the basic controls and operation of the Switch Doctor. Refer to
the TOP PANEL CONTROLS diagram on the previous page.
Operating Modes
The Switch Doctor has two operating modes – Preset Mode and Direct Mode. Preset
Mode is used to create, recall, and edit presets. Direct Mode is used for instant access
to the individual pedal loops, control switches, and MIDI Continuous Controller or MIDI
Note switches (if enabled in Setup). The Switch Doctor ships from the factory in Preset
Mode, but will power up in whichever mode was last used.
To toggle between Preset Mode and Direct Mode,
press and release the EDIT switch.
Preset Mode
When the Switch Doctor is powered up for the first time, it is in Preset Mode. The
numeric display will read 01 and the blue preset LEDs will cycle from left to right.
The
Switch Doctor has 128 user presets which are configured as 32 banks of 4 presets. In
this mode, the numeric display indicates the selected bank number (01-32) and the
switches along the bottom row select the preset within the bank (A,B,C,D). Use the ▲
and ▼ switches in the top row to select the next desired bank. When scrolling through
the bank numbers, a bank is not active until a preset is selected within the bank. When
there is no preset selected in the bank, the
blue preset LEDs will sequence from left to
right. Once a preset is selected, it's blue preset LED will light solid, and the
programmed preset will be activated.
In it's factory default state, the Switch Doctor can be immediately used as a simple
MIDI program controller in Preset Mode. The Switch Doctor defaults to sending a
single MIDI Program Change message for each of it's 128 presets on MIDI
Channel1. The first preset (Preset A in Bank 1) will send MIDI Program Change 0.
The next preset will send MIDI Program Change 1, etc. So, the presets on the Switch
Doctor will automatically call up the corresponding presets on your MIDI device.
Global Preset
An additional “global” preset is optionally available as a 5 th preset in any active bank.
The global preset is useful for accessing a “default sound” that is often used, such as a
basic clean sound or a lead sound. Since it is available from any active bank, it is
always quickly accessible and does not need to be programmed multiple times for
