Space User Guide Expression Pedal
26
Since any number of parameters can be programmed to respond to the pedal, it’s important
to learn how to un-assign parameters. Let’s say that you’ve programmed the Pedal to control
Mix from 50% to 100% and Delay from 10 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. Now, you’d like
to un-assign Delay and have it fixed at 20 milliseconds rather than have it change when the
Pedal moves. Here’s what you do:
1) Press the Pedal to full heel and turn the Delay knob to 20 milliseconds.
2) Press the Pedal to full toe. Turn Delay away from 20 milliseconds and then back to
20 milliseconds.
Remember, you must move the Parameter Control Knob to create the Pedal assignment. If a
Parameter was previously assigned to the Pedal, the only way to un-assign it is to set the
same value for the heel and toe by turning the knob.
The Expression Pedal settings are not saved automatically. If you want to be able to recall
your Expression Pedal setting, you must perform the Preset Save operation.
If you load a Preset and the Expression Pedal is not connected, the parameter values will be
same as they were the last time the Preset was used.
Note: Expression Pedal programming can be disabled in System Mode under the Utilities
menu. Since programming the Expression Pedal is so easy, it is possible to inadvertently
change settings that you’ve created. By setting Pedal Lock ([PDLOCK]) ON, accidental changes
to the Expression Pedal settings are prevented. For information on how to access System
Mode refer to the System Mode section of this document.
Note: You can set the minimum value to be greater than the maximum value. When you do
so, as the Pedal moves towards the toe, the Parameter value will decrease.
Note: The Expression Pedal input supports control voltage inputs from 0V to 3V. Care must
be taken to avoid ground loops when using this input with external control voltages. If you
hear a “hum” only when you’ve connected a control voltage source to ’s Expression
Pedal input jack, then it is likely that the device generating the control voltage is grounded to
a different ground than your audio inputs and outputs. Ground loops are notoriously difficult
to track down and beyond the scope of this User Guide to diagnose.
