Switching Setups with a Pedal
You can use a pedal to select Setups 129–256 on the PC1, which is convenient in performance
situations if the PC1 isn’t within easy reach.
For this example, you’ll need a dual switch pedal plugged into the Switch Pedal jack, so that you
can access the second pedal (the first pedal is usually preset to provide sustain).
1.
Create a setup with one or more zones. Don’t forget to save…
2.
Go to the Setup Editor (press
Edit
). Go to the MIDI Channel parameter in the MIDI Xmit
menu, and note the channel used by the current zone.
3.
Press and hold
Global
, and press Pedal 2. You should see the On Ctrl parameter for
SwitchPdl 2 in the display.
4.
Change the value of Ctrl Num to
GoToSetup
(it’s near the end of the list of values, so
this might be a good time to hold
Enter
and use a controller to change the value).
5.
Press the
Right
cursor button to select the On Value parameter. Set its value to 129 lower
than the setup you want to select. For example, a value of
0
selects Setup
129
, a value of
1
selects Setup
130
, and so on).
6.
Save! If you press Switch Pedal 2 before you save, you’ll change setups, and your edits
will get erased.
As an alternative, you can use a value of
Setup Inc
for On Ctrl and a value of
127
for On Value.
If you do this for a string of consecutively-numbered setups, you can step through them without
taking your hands off the keys. You might also use
GoToSetup
for the highest- numbered setup
in this sequence to take you back to the lowest- numbered setup in the sequence.
Transposing a Setup With a Button
If you don’t have the time to learn a tune in a different key, you can have the PC1 transpose a
setup with one press of a button. This example transposes up a fourth, but it’s up to you to
decide both the direction and the interval. For this example, we will use
SW4
.
1.
Create and save a setup with one or more zones. Make Zone 1 current.
2.
Press and hold the
Global
button, and press
SW4
. This displays the On Ctrl parameter
for
SW4
in Zone 1
3.
Change the value of On Ctrl to TransUp (it’s near the end of the list of values). This
automatically changes the value of the Off Ctrl parameter to TransUp as well. Select the
On Value parameter, and set its value to 5.
4.
Select the Off Ctrl parameter, and change its value to
TransDown
.
5.
Select the Off Value parameter, and set its value to 5.
6.
Repeat this procedure for all zones in the setup (unless you want to transpose some
zones and not others).
Now when you press
SW4
, it transposes the setup up a major fourth.
Press it again to remove the transposition.
