ENSONIQ DP/4 Musician's Manual

Section 8 - Applications
Using the DP/4 Song Feature to Chain Presets
Objective: You want to define a series of presets to be selected in a specified order by pressing a
Foot Switch.
Answer: Using the DP / 4 Song feature, you can specify up to 20 Songs, groups of 5 presets that
can be selected sequentially with the optional SW-10 (or SW-2) foot switch. We recommend the
SW -10 Dual Foot Switch for this purpose, as its two pedals let you change from song to song
using one pedal and select steps within a song using the other.
• Press System· MIDI, until parameter #45 is showing on the display. Set the Foot Switch 1
and 2 parameters to the following values:
Param#:
45
46
Parameter:
DP4 Footswitch1=
DP4 Footswitch2=
This
sets Foot Sitch 1 (on the right) to step
sequentially between the five presets defined in the
current song.
Pressing Foot Switch 2 (on the left) will advance to
the next song.
Note: If you are using a foot switch
Set to:
Song Preset Up
Increment song
Foot Switch 2 Foot Switch 1
manufactured by another company, there is a possibility that the wires inside the foot
switch may be reversed. This would make the DP / 4 recognize Foot Switch 1 as left,
and Foot Switch 2 as right.
• Press the Right Arrow button to get to the Song Editor (params #47-49). The display shows:
Song Number
Define Song 01
Step01=Preset000
Step in Current Song Preset to be selected
in that step
• Use the three parameters on the Song Editor screen to define as many 5-step songs as you
will need (see the discussion in Section 6 for more details on the Song Editor). When you are
done editing, go back to parameter #47 and reset it to Song #01.
•
Now, press Foot Switch 1. Each time you press it, the DP /4 will select the preset that is the
next step in the song, returning to step 01 after step 05. Pressing Foot Switch 2 will advance
to the next song.
