Section 8 - Applications
Using a Foot Switch to Alternate Between Two Presets
Objective:
You
want
to dedicate a foot switch
to
simply
alternate
between
two
presets. For,
example,
a guitarist
might
want
to switch
between
a
lead
tone
and
a
rhythm
tone
by
pressing
a
single foot switch.
Answer: This is another
use
for the
DP
/ 4 Song feature.
In
this case
we
will
need
just
one
song,
and
a feature
that
lets
you
limit a
song
to less
than
five steps.
1.
Press
System.
MIDI,
until
parameter
#45 is
showing
on
the
display. Set
the
Foot
Switch 1
parameter
to "DP4 Footswitchl= Song Preset
Up."
2 Press
the
Right
Arrow
button
twice to
get
to
the
Song Editor
(params
#47-49). Select
Song
Ol.
3.
Let's
suppose
you
want
to
alternate
between
Preset 25
and
Preset 42. Set
parameter
#48 to
Step 01,
and
set
the
preset
(param
#49) to "StepOl=Preset 025."
4.
Press the Left
Arrow
button
to go back to
the
Step, select Step 02,
and
set
the
preset
to
"Step02=Preset 042."
5.
Scroll
back
to
the Step, select Step 03,
and
set
it
to
"Step03=GotoStepl." You
will
find
this
choice
at
the
top
of the list, after Preset 99.
Now,
each
time
you
press Foot Switch
I,
it will toggle
between
the
two
presets
you
defined.
The
other
Foot
Switch can
be
programmed
for
some
other
purpose,
if
you
wish.
Bear
in
mind
that
the
"GotoStepl"
option
could also
be
entered
as Step 04
or
Step 05 to create
songs
of 3
or
4
steps
instead
of
2.
Swapping 1 Unit Presets
168
Objective:
You
have
edited
the
algorithm
parameters
and
created a
sound
you
really like,
but
you
want
to
swap
the algorithms
around
between
the
units.
Answer:
Any
1
Unit
algorithm
can
be
swapped
with
another,
when
both

loaded
into
either

the following procedures:
1.
Press Edit,

Write.
2
Press
a
Unit
that
you
want
to
swap. The
top
line of
the
display
shows
"Write

1
UPset."
3. While pressing
and
holding
the
same
Unit button,
press
a
Unit
button
that
you
want
to
swap
with
the
first one. The display looks like this:
Hit
<WRITE>
To
Swap
Units
1'=1
8:
First Unit
Selected
Second
Unit
Selected
4.
Press
Write
to
swap
the two selected units.
The
display
says
"Units

You

use
this
procedure
any

swap
a 1

Preset
with
another
