Using the Optional Pedal

Restoring Factory Defaults

The 506 II is equipped with a CONTROL IN jack designed for
connection of an optional foot switch or expression pedal. This section
explains how to use these accessories. 

Using the foot switch (FS01) 

Connecting the optional foot switch FS01 to the CONTROL IN jack
allows changing banks with the foot switch while the unit is in play
mode. (Operating the foot switch in play mode has the same effect as
pressing the [+] key.) 

1. Plug the cable from the FS01 into the CONTROL IN jack,

and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack
(or DC 9V jack). 

2. Press the foot switch. 

With each push of the foot switch, the bank is switched up. 

Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) 

Connecting an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) to the CONTROL IN
jack allows adjusting the volume or an effect parameter in real time.
For information on parameters that can be adjusted with the expression
pedal, please refer to pages 22 - 29. 

1. Plug the cable from the expression pedal into the

CONTROL IN jack, and then plug the appropriate cable
into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). 

2. Select the patch in play mode, and move the expression

pedal back and forth. 

Depending on the program content of the patch, the volume or
effect parameter will change.

If the foot switch or expression pedal is connected to the 506 II while
the unit is powered, malfunction may occur. Be sure to plug the foot
switch or expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack first and then
plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). 

The pedal is active also in edit mode.

The 506 II comes with 36 preprogrammed patches. These factory
default patches can be restored also if they were overwritten by patches
created by the user. 
There are two ways of restoring factory defaults. "All Initialize" returns
the entire set of patches to the original condition. "Factory Recall"
restores a specific patch to the original condition. 

1. While holding down the STORE key, plug the appropriate

cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). 

The indication "AL" flashes on the display. 

To perform All Initialize 

2. Press the STORE key once more. 

All patch settings are returned to the factory default condition, and
the unit switches to play mode. To cancel All Initialize, press the [-]
key. 

All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize.
Use this function with care. 

To perform Factory Recall 

2. Use the [    ]/[    ] foot switches to select the patch you

want to return to the original condition. 

The specified bank and patch number are flashing on
the display. 

During Factory Recall, the [+]/[-] keys cannot be used to switch the
bank only. 

3. Press the STORE key once more. 

The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default
condition.

If desired, repeat steps 2 and 3 to restore other patches. To terminate
the Factory Recall operation, press the [-] key. The unit will switch
to the play mode at this point.
