Continuous Controllers and the Active Range Settings
The Active Range settings on the ASSIGN screens are for realtime control
power users. They allow you to condense the active range of a continuous
controller when you’ve assigned it as a source, so that you can “tighten up”
the feel of the controller when it’s used.
For example, let’s say you’ve targeted a delay’s level to be controlled by the
onboard expression pedal, as we discussed above. By setting “ActRngLo”
and “ActRngHi” to values other than 0 and 127 respectively, you confine the
minimum and maximum value adjustment over a smaller pedal range when
the pedal is operated.
This principle is illustrated in the following diagram. Here, ActRngLo is set to
40 and ActRngHi is set to 80, while Min is set to 0 and Max is set 127.

Active Range settings are really only useful when the control source
is an expression pedal or input level. (Even then, the effect of Active
Range settings can be quite subtle.) For all other control sources—or if
you don’t want to set a smaller active range for an expression pedal or
input level source—we recommend setting ActRngLo to 0 and ActRngHi
to 127.
Making Settings in the ASSIGN Screens
Press MASTER/PEDAL FX.1
Turn the dial to select ASSIGN, and then press ENTER.2
If necessary, use the 3 3 and 4 buttons to navigate to the ASSIGN
1 screen. (If the screen is not displayed in list view as shown below,
press DISPLAY MODE so it is.)
Highlight the “Quick” line, and turn the dial counter-clockwise to 4
select “User Setting” (if it isn’t already selected).
Use the 5 5 and 6 buttons and dial to make the desired settings.
To enable the realtime controller assignment, press the MASTER/
6
PEDAL FX button so that ON is highlighted in the lower right hand
corner of the display. If you want to disable the controller assignment,
choose OFF instead.
