Special Features of B1X
This section explains features and operating steps that are unique to the B1X.
[PEDAL ASSIGN] key operation
The top panel of the B1X has a [PEDAL
ASSIGN] key. Besides the method described on
page 17, the module to be controlled by the pedal
can be selected with this key.
1.
In play mode or edit mode, press the
[PEDAL ASSIGN] key to select the
control target module.
The module currently selected as control target is
indicated by the row of LEDs above the [PEDAL
ASSIGN] key.
2.
Store the patch as required.
3.
In play mode, select the patch and
operate the expression pedal.
The respective parameter changes in real time.
4.
To toggle the module assigned to the
pedal between on and off, briefly
push the pedal fully down.
When the module is off, the respective LED
above the [PEDAL ASSIGN] key flashes. This
function can also be used in edit mode.
Adjusting the expression pedal
The expression pedal of the B1X can be
readjusted as necessary. If the effect change
seems insufficient when pushing the pedal down,
or if the volume or tone changes excessively
even when the pedal is only lightly pushed,
adjust the pedal as follows.
1.
Hold down the [PEDAL ASSIGN] key
while turning power to the B1X on.
The indication "dn" appears on the display.
2.
Fully raise the expression pedal and
press the [STORE] key.
The indication "UP" appears on the display.
3.
Push the expression pedal fully down
and release it.
4.
Press the [STORE] key once more.
The adjustment is complete, and the unit returns
to the play mode. If the indication "Er" is shown,
repeat the procedure from step 2.
