released when you release the switch.

Use the Hold option for effects that you just need
for a few seconds.

Allows you to tap the global G-System tempo.

Tuner Mute

Mutes the output while the Tuner is enabled.

Relay

temporarily activate setting B (Hold).

Preset

The following parameters allow you to use a switch to
recall any preset from the Factory or the User bank. 
Two parameters must be set:

Bank:
Selects a bank. When set to “none”, the bank position is
defined using the UP/DOWN switches.
A0 to A9 and B0 to B9 are Factory banks. 
Banks 0 to 39 are User banks.

Preset 1 to 5
Sets the preset to be recalled in the given bank.

MIDI CC

A switch can be assigned to send MIDI CC’s between 0
and 119 to G-Systems MIDI out. On the assigned MIDI
CC values will toggle between 0 and 127 every time the
switch is pressed.
