Choosing a system-wide setting is great when you know you want to use
an assignment the same way in every patch. For example, you may want to
set PEDAL FX to FOOT VOLUME or use CTL 2 for tap tempo in every patch.
Setting a controller to system-wide status saves you from having to make the
same settings over and over in all your patches.
System-wide settings are also a great way to temporarily override
patch control settings for a special application. Setting a particular
realtime controller for system-wide use doesn’t alter the settings
stored for that controller in each patch; it only ignores them.
We’ll show you how to set a realtime controller to system-wide status a little
later. For now, we’ll just focus on making realtime controller assignments in
patches.
Quickly Assigning Common Functions to Realtime
Controllers
On the SW&PDL FUNCTION screen, you
can quickly assign commonly used effects
parameters and other functions to the
onboard pedal and switches. These include
things like assigning a foot switch to turn a
particular effect group on/off, setting a foot
switch for tap tempo, or setting the function of PEDAL FX.
For most basic effects adjustments, these “shortcut” assignments will be
all you’ll ever need to set. Following are tables that show the available
assignments.
