Pages Menu
Pages are at the heart of the LF+ layout flexibility. There are a total of fifty (50) pages available, each with sixty (60) buttons.
Each of the sixty (60) buttons has two programmable functions are individually configured with behaviors that define how the
button works, and reacts to those functions. The button can also determine how those functions switch around based on
settings defined for the button. This offers a massive amount of customization to the user, but keeps the process of
programming such sophisticated layout capabilities very simple.
In general it is helpful to understand that any physical switch can be mapped via a page to any type of function available within
the controller. Buttons can trigger Presets (up to 60 presets per page). Buttons can trigger IA Slots (up to 60 per page). Buttons
can also trigger special commands, such as MENU, SAVE PRESET, Change PAGE, BANK UP, BANK DOWN, etc… Buttons can mix
and match any combination of such commands, presets, and so on. This allows the user to establish any layout of the board
that is so desired.
Why 60 buttons on a page if the largest LF+ controller only has 24 buttons? Because pages allow for expander units (or
multiple LF+ devices) to be linked together. This allows a page to be physically spread around multiple LF+ controllers. Up to
12 LF+ controllers can be easy linked together and begin working in a master/master or master/slave mode within a minute
of configuring each units SYNC parameters. Very simple, very powerful, and extremely flexible.
Buttons on a page could also be linked to buttons on the expression pedal ports. Up to two buttons can be added to each port
on the back of the LF+ controller. So it is important to understand that just because you can’t physically get to a button on a
page via the top of the Controller itself, you can control buttons on page via the expression pedal ports, extender units,
attached LF+ controllers, and even MIDI commands.
Buttons can be programmed to handle two separate functions. Function 1 is normally triggered by a foot press of the physical
switch. A press and release in a time below that defined in the Global menu (default is set to a press less than 1 second). The
2
nd
function would be triggered with a foot press that is longer then the set Hold time. When a 2
nd
function is triggered, there
are three settings which control its behavior. When the trigger is set to toggle, the 2 nd function becomes the 1 st function and
vice versa, which essentially toggles the 2 functions back and fourth. When set to Toggle/trigger (default), the button will
toggle the functions on the button and then process the function which switches to the active button function. The third option
is Trigger Only. With a trigger only setting, function #2 will be triggered, but it will not become the new active function for the
switch.
