Among the hallmarks of this Footpedal are painstaking workmanship and finishing as
well as rigorously tested and carefully selected quality components. You'll find
guidelines on care and maintenance on page 17. Under the heading Tips from the
designer, you'll come across practical tips on the aforementioned features throughout

Your first impression may be that
handling the foot controller is complicated, particularly if you work with expression
pedals and want to define their parameters. To nip frustration in the bud, I suggest
you follow along with the examples on pages 12 to 17. This will give you a better
understanding of and hands-on experience with the foot controller's functionality. In
no time at all, you'll discover that it actually handles very comfortably and
conveniently.

A few words of wisdom from the designer:
1.selects128MIDIpatches(MIDIprogramnumbersor
forshort).
2. selects MIDI (send) channels 1 to 16.
3. offers two inputs that accept two expression pedals, equipped with
potentiometers.
4. enables controller numbers to be assigned freely to each expression pedal.
5. allows four different control curves to be assigned to every continuous controller.
6. offers a variable transmission rate (send interval) for controller words to affect
the response of the remote controlled function.
7. features four Switch Loops. Statuses (open/closed) may stored for each
of the 128 MIDI patches. This convenient feature allows four switching
functions for external devices to be executed simultaneously at the
touch of a single button on the Z-15.
8. selects MIDI patches in groups of ten patches called banks or directly,
with the latter requiring confirmation.
9. offers a special feature - button-operated Internal Continuous Controllers.
10. A very practical power supply option: via a 5-pin MIDI cord connected to
ENGL amps, power amps or preamps equipped with a MIDI IN port featuring
phantom power that is enabled via the "ENGL MIDI Foot Controller" switch.
An outboard power unit is not required for this type of configuration.
