DigiTech PDS-3500 The Midi Pedal User Manual

gram change number, (2) a MIDI channel number, and (3) a pedal status number. The pedal status
number assigns the function of the FX-17 to one of the dened MIDI continuous controllers, pitch bend,
or channel pressure.
Apply power to the PDS-3500 with the switches in the OPERATE and BANK/PRESET positions. If
the LED display does not read "10," remove and re-apply power to the unit.
The PDS-3500 has two operating modes, the BANK/PRESET mode or the BANK DUMP mode.
As you increment through the BANK numbers, the PRESET number shown on the LED display is
"0." This is a null preset that does not transmit any data, but acts as a starting point for either of the two
operating modes.
The BANK/PRESET MODE allows you to step through the presets in each bank one at a time, the
left foot switch selecting the bank number and the right foot switch selecting the preset number. When
the right foot switch is depressed, the PRESET NUMBER is advanced by one, the MIDI PROGRAM
CHANGE number stored in memory for that preset is displayed momentarily and the preset data is
transmitted.
The BANK DUMP MODE sends out all of the presets in the selected bank. This mode allows you to
set up many dierent eects units with dierent corresponding MIDI program numbers with one tap of
your foot. You can assign each eect device to listen on a dierent MIDI channel, then in each preset in
order, program a dierent MIDI program number for each MIDI channel (the continuous controller
denition being the last preset). Put the left hand switch in the OPERATE mode and the right hand
switch in the BANK DUMP mode, select the BANK number with the left (BANK/STORE) foot switch.
Only when you depress the right (PRESET/ INCREMENT) foot switch are all of the presets in the bank
transmitted in the order of the preset numbers. The LED display will show "...." while all of the presets in
the bank are being transmitted.
Programming the PDS-3500 .is straightforward. With the use of the left and right three-position
switches and the two foot switches, the BANK number, the PRESET number, the MIDI PROGRAM num-
ber, the MIDI CHANNEL number, and the PEDAL STATUS number are quickly programmed into THE
MIDI PEDAL. The programmed settings are stored until changed and are backed up by a battery when
power is removed from the unit.
The rst step in programming the PDS-3500 is to determine what you wish to put into the unit. The
